From the 10 questions below, answer ones that add up to >=30 [because the midterm is worth 30 points overall]. BUT, additionally/optionally, you can answer *even more* if you like. In other words, answer 8 out of the 10 questions; optionally, answer 1 more, and 1 more after that. We will add up all your points from all your answers (even partially correct ones) – if your score exceeds 30, it will be ‘capped’ at 30 (ie. 30 is the highest possiblescore). OMG – such a deal 🙂 You *do* need to stop (as opposed to, continue) writing after the time’s up. If you keep writing past the 1 hour mark, you will get a 0 for the entire exam. This is how we ensure fairness. You can use your cheatsheet, nothing else. If you are observed cheating, you’ll get a 0 for the exam, AND, be reported to OAI [fyi: we report first, THEN notify you]. Again, it’s how to ensure fairness – others aren’t ‘skipping the line’, you shouldn’t either. Please *DO NOT* cheat – as they say, FAFO if you want. Look for it – each qn has *data* in it (because: CS585: ‘Database Systems’) 🙂 Hope you *enjoy* the exam! Allowed 1 standard 8.5×11, both sides, typed/handwritten cheat sheet. Midterm Exam
