Homework 6

I have posted homework 6 here.

It is due this coming Sunday at 11:59 PM.

Mid-term

The mid-term exam will be given on Tuesday, March 23rd.

It will consist of questions like those on the quizzes along with questions asking you to write short segments of Python code.

60% of the points on this exam will consist of questions from the Ungraded Class Quizzes.

The other 40% will come from four questions that ask you to write a short segment of code.

The last class before the exam, Thursday, March 18th, will be a review session.

You will only be responsible for the material in the Class Notes for that class on the exam.

The Mid-term is a closed book exam.

To prevent cheating, certain rules will be enforced during the exam.
