CS185C Spring 2004Practice Midterm 2

To study for the midterm I would suggest you: (1) Know how to do (by heart) all the practice problems. (2) Go over your notes three times. Second and third time try to see how huch you can remember from the first time. (3) Go over the homework problems. (4) Try to create your own problems similar to the ones I have given and solve them. (5) Skim the relevant sections from the book. (6) If you want to study in groups, at this point you are ready to quiz each other. The practice midterm is below. Here are some facts about the actual midterm: (a) The midterm will be in class . (b) It is closed book, closed notes. Nothing will be permitted on your desk except your pen (pencil) and test. (c) You should bring photo ID. (d) There will be more than one version of the test. Each version will be of comparable difficulty. (e) If your cell-phone or beeper goes off you will be excused from the test at that point and graded on what you have done till your excusal. (f) One problem (less typos) on the actual test will be from the practice test.
