Sample midterm
Here is a sample midterm from last year. I will only provide answers in office hours when you convince me you have worked on the problem you are seeking answers for. Also, there will not be a sample final; final questions are like the midterm questions.

office TASC-I 8021
- TuTh 2:30-3:20
- or by appointment.
Note: I will be present at the start of the listed office hours, but if I pass ten minutes without any students, then I may leave in order to accomplish other tasks (although I'll always stay until at least 3:50). If you plan on coming to an office hour but not in the first twenty minutes, then send me an email letting me know when you will be there. Office hours cannot be extended past the given times.
