Practice questions are samples only. The actual questions on the Midterms and Final Exam may be different. There may be a few new questions on the tests and exams that don’t appear here.
Slight variations in wording or formatting may mean that a question is shown as “new” even though a question similar to it appeared in a previous practice question set. Small changes generate “new” questions.
You can also see previous midterm tests in the notes area of previous terms that I have taught this course. See my Teaching Home Page.
