Here is your midterm exam. A completed exam must be posted in the assignments folder no later than 11:59 PM on Saturday, February 9 (Central European time). That gives you a window of 48 hours in which to complete the exam. Late assignments will not be accepted, nor will after-the-fact excuses. Plan ahead and do not put this off to the last minute.
You are to answer all five of the following questions, each of which WILL count for 20% of the exam grade. If any answers require a complicated calculation, include a clear explanation and / or calculation showing how you arrived at the answer. Answers that are not supported by your work will be marked down. All five questions deal with issues we have studied, so I hope you will not have too much difficulty with them.
