Midterm Study Guide
Overview
- The midterm covers all of the lecture materials through records and variants.
- While OCaml questions are fair on the midterm, it is not a focus of the exam.
- The previous midterms below will give a pretty good idea of the scope of the exam; different topics are asked different years as there is no time to quiz every topic.
- The midterm is written to take 45 minutes in a 1.5 hour slot. So, if you studied you should not have a time problem.
- You will be allowed to bring one 8.5x11 piece of paper hand-written on both sides. You cannot copy someone else’s sheet, you need to write your own (collaboration on it is fine though, just don’t copy). Printouts of hand-written notes on your tablet are OK if it is 1-up printed and the writing is not shunk in size compared to actual hand writing.
Old Midterms
These were take-home exams; since the 2025 exam is in-class it may be shorter.
