If you are using an older edition, the chapter number may be different from the latest Edition 4. Included also in the midterm materials, is the topic on Review of Probability concepts. This topic was covered in the posted lecture slides titled “Lecture 01_Review of Prob Concepts,” along with some sections from chapter 12. The midterm exam is an open book, and you are allowed to use the textbook or a print copy of it. The book, either the original copy or the print format must be free from any personal notes. The print copies of the book must be bound (no loose materials/pages are allowed during any exams). Accordingly, the book and/or copy of the book will be inspected by the exam invigilators. If any of the above-indicated documents (book and print copy of the book) are found nonconforming, the student will continue the exam without any materials (as if it is a closed-book exam). The seized document and the exam booklet will be inspected further by the exam proctors during the marking process.

In the event of a personal /medical reason, a student can inform the exam proctors / the instructor before the exam day and time. In this case, accommodation will be made. Electronics such as laptops, iPads, cellphones, etc., are not allowed and should be turned off (airplane mode) and placed in the student's bag and the bag stowed on the floor. Calculators as described in the course outline (basic scientific calculators) are allowed. As seating pattern is important, exam proctors may assign seats to students. Good luck, Walid
