Math 121  Midterm Info


Monday, February 12, in class.

Duration: 50 minutes.

What is covered?  Material up to and including that of 2/5.

No aids (in particular, no books, notes, or calculators) will be allowed on the exam.

Approximate number of problems: 4-5.

The problems on the exam can be of the following types:

  1. Giving definitions of basic terms and stating the main theorems
  2. True or false questions with justifications; if something is false, you need to provide a counterexample
  3. Problems similar to HW problems (not the hardest HW problems, which would be unreasonable in a 50-minute test)
  4. Problems where you apply the concepts you learned


IMPORTANT: You must bring your ID card for admission to the exam.  To discourage cheating, I will also take snapshots of where everyone is sitting during the exam.



Regrade policy: Apart from scores being added up incorrectly, if you believe some problems were graded in error, you must submit a written regrade request by the following Wednesday.  Your entire exam will be regraded and it is possible for you to lose points.  Please also be advised that some random exams will be scanned before they are returned.
