1   Midterm exam

1. In 7 days, Thurs Oct 17, in class.

2. You may bring in one 2-sided 8.5"x11" paper with notes. You may not share the material with each other during the exam. No collaboration or communication (except with the staff) is allowed.

   (The exam can't be open book because some student share books and others use an online text.)

3. Last year's midterm exam.

4. Its solution.

5. The exam may contain some recycled homework questions.

6. Here are several older exams, with some solutions. This year's topics will be slightly different, but will be largely the same. OTOH, since there are a finite number of electrons in the universe and they say that recycling is good, I'll recycle many of these questions.

   1. Midterm F2017.
   2. Midterm F2017 solution.
   3. Midterm F2016.
   4. Midterm F2014, Midterm F2014 Solution
   5. Midterm F2013, Midterm F2013 Solution
   6. Midterm F2012, Midterm F2012 Solution

If you prepared answers to all the questions on all the old tests, then you'd do well this semester, except for the new stuff. However, you would also deserve to do well since you'd know the material.

1. Part of today will be a review of previous lectures and exams.
2. I'll discuss other answers in the review, or you may figure out answers on your own.

2   No homework out today

However there may be a homework assigned next week due the week after.

3   Possible spring courses

2. An independent Computer Graphics reading course directed by me.
