Activity: Practice Midterm Exam

A low-stakes practice run at the midterm, worked on your own before you sit the real take-home exam. There is no timer and no quiz to launch — you work through the practice questions yourself and log that you did it. Estimated time: about the length of a short exam sitting.

📋 What to do

Get the practice questions from the Canvas assignment. We start this in class; the practice material is posted with that assignment. Nothing launches in its own window — this is not a Canvas quiz, and it is not auto-scored.
Work through the questions on your own, the way you would work through the real take-home midterm: same notes, same tools, same habits. The point is to find out what your exam-day workflow is actually like.
Answer every question, even the ones you are unsure about. A wrong answer here is free information about what to review.
When you finish, go back over anything you guessed at and note the topics to revisit before the real take-home midterm.
Log that you did it: paste your answers, your working notes, or screenshots of them into the text box on the Canvas assignment. Credit is for completing the practice, not for your score — nobody marks your answers right or wrong. Take it seriously anyway; it only helps if you do.

📮 Submit

Submit on Canvas (1 pt) — paste your answers, notes and/or screenshots into the text box on the assignment. Graded on completion; your deadline is on the Canvas assignment.

Note: keep this page as your copy of the activity after class — it is the version we maintain, links to surveys and slide decks included. Submission, the due date, and your grade are on Canvas.
