Midterm Scope

The midterm covers the following topics:

  • Every lecture through Lecture 12
  • Every lab through Lab 4
  • Every discussion through Discussion 7
  • Every homework through Homework 3
  • Projects 1 and 2

Note that lectures ultimately determine the pace of the class and the scope for the midterm. This means that there are some assignments due after the midterm that are still in scope for the exam, notably Project 2A and 2B, since they are based off of content covered in in-scope lectures.

While you do not have to finish these assignments before the midterm, we highly recommend familiarizing yourself with the project spec to gain familiarity with the tools and thinking that will be presented on the midterm exam.
