You can study Section 1.2 and Section 1.3 of Chapter for your own interets. I did NOT discuss it in class. So, you will NOT be tested on these materials. You can exclude Section 1.2 and 1.3 of Chapter 1 from the midterm exam syllabus.

Part A: 20 multiple choice questions     1*20 = 20 marks

To prepare for the exam I strongly recommend you to work out  all Optional Assignments (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7) which are posted on this course website. You should also work out the self-test on-line quizzes which are available in the textbook's website. You should also study the assigned chapters and your class lecture notes. In particular, you should make sure that you understand all of the models with a graphical explanation. You should also go through the solutions to the midterm exam which is posted on the course website.

Questions in Part B and Part C of the exam will be similar to the questions in Optional and Required Assignments . To prepare for Part A of the exam, I recommend you to read the textbook carefully and to go through your class lecture notes.  And you should also work out the self-test on-line quizzes which are available in the textbook's website.

Good luck with your exam!
