Midterm Exam Solution KeyExam scores will be available on LMS before Friday, March 9. The exams will be returned in class on March 15. Rescaling: raw scores on the exam (0-72 points) will be rescaled to a 100 point scale. For example,
The rescaled score is what will be used in computing the course grade. (This is not the same as a ``curve'' of the grades, since it's something I decide on after making up the exam based on my judgement about its difficulty, before the exam is given.) The following instructions were given for exam: The Midterm Exam will be given Monday, February 26, in the regular class time and room. It will be closed book: no notes, printed material, computers, calculators, or communicating devices may be used. In addition to the lecture notes and readings in the text, review also the in-class labs and homework assignments, including the solution keys provided on the Web. Here are an old Midterm Exam and solution key, from a previous edition of the course with approximately the same syllabus. Old Midterm Exam |

The Final Exam will be given Wednesday, 5/9, 11:30am-2:30pm. It will
be closed book: no notes, printed material, computers, calculators,
or communicating devices may be used. In addition to the lecture
notes and readings in the text, review also the in-class labs and
homework assignments, including the solution keys provided on the
Web. Most, and perhaps all, of the questions on the final will be directly on the material covered since the midterm exam. But keep in mind that a good understanding of the concepts covered in the new material depends heavily on a good understanding of the concepts covered in the first half of the course.
