The midterm will include 4 problems (each with multiple parts)
on the following topics. Sample questions are given below to
help you study. Problems will include both calculation and
“explain” parts. You may use your portfolio and calculator, but
no textbook. Be sure that you copy the important graphs/tables
from your book and put them in your portfolio. The exam is 1
hour long. Suggested exam-taking strategy: Look through all the
questions, and begin with the one you feel most confident. Write
down all of the information you need to solve the problem
(equation, values of the variables that go into the equation,
etc.). Do this for all of the problems. Leave the actual
calculations (calculator-punching) until last. Partial credit is
given, and more of this partial credit is given for the set-up
of the problem than for the calculator-punching. Remember to
write down what you are thinking/doing, so that if you make
mistakes, I can give you partial credit. NO credit will be given
for answers (even if correct) if
