We start off by doing a quiz covering everything that we have learnt during weeks three, four, and five. Make sure that you are able to answer the questions listed above in this syllabus and you will do fine.
After completing the quiz, we will spend the remainder of the first class to briefly summarize and reflect about what we have learnt in the course so far. We talk about the midterm exam and what will be covered. We also practice on answering some old questions given in previous midterm exams.
The midterm exam will be given on the second session of this week. More information in section 3.4.
