The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.

Economics 302: Macroeconomic Analysis

Midterm Exam

General Information:

The midterm exam will be offered on in class on Wednesday, November 3rd. The exam will be closed-book and closed-notes. It will cover material from the first three parts of the course: the Introduction, Growth, and Behavior. Concepts from lecture, the readings, the problem sets, and the quizzes may appear on the midterm.

The exam will have three sections: a series of multiple-choice questions (like the quizzes), a set of "true/false/uncertain" questions, and a set of "essay" questions (like the problem sets, and which may require algebriac manipulation or simple numerical computations). You will have the full 80 minutes of class time available for the midterm.

Review Session:

A review session will be scheduled prior to the midterm exam, most likely during the evening on the Monday or Tuesday before the exam. The scheduled date, time and location will be announced here and via e-mail. You should prepare questions ahead of time and bring them to the review session.

Honor Code:

In accordance with Wesleyan's Honor Code, you may not receive any assistance, of any form, on this midterm exam. If you have any questions about the application of the Honor Code, please contact me.
