Crowdmark Note:
We will usually use Crowdmark for grading our exams and distributing midterm results to students.
For this course (and many others) Crowdmark associates an exam with a student by their Quest Username (maximum 8 characters) @uwaterloo.ca email. When Crowdmark sends exam results to this email address it is resolved by your Mail Routing Address in WatIAM. If you have more then one email account in Crowdmark then you can merge the accounts so that all your Crowdmark assessments are visible under any of your Crowdmark accounts; follow account merging instructions.
Information on this page will be update as information becomes available.
Midterm
| Date: |
Thursday, February 27, 2025 |
| Time: |
4:30PM - 6:20PM |
| Location/Seating: |
Look up your assigned seat here on or around 2025-02-24.
|
| Reference Sheet |
Students are allowed to bring a single letter-sized (8.5x11) or smaller paper with anything written or printed on it on both sides. Reference-sheets must be handed in with the exam.
The greatest value in creating a reference sheet is the studying that you do while deciding what to put on the sheet and writing out the information. Photocopying or printing a classmate's reference sheet has little value and may hinder performance as you try to look up information.
No reference sheet will be provided by us.

| Bring: |
Pens, pencils, eraser, your WatCARD, and your Reference Sheet (if you created one -- see above).
A pen is needed for signatures (a signature list that the proctor
will bring around and your signature on the front page of the exam).
The exam will be hand-written on paper; you
are encouraged to use pencils (bring more than one in case one breaks)
so you can erase in case of minor errors.
If you choose, you are also allowed to use any kind of pen to write
your answer as long as it will be visible on the scan; do not use
colours other than blue or black.
You must bring your Watcard.
You are permitted to bring in a clear water bottle, but remove its
label.
Food is not allowed.

| Coverage: |
The midterm will cover the entirety of Module 1-6 |
| What to expect at the exam and after: |
- Consulting hours and Piazza-monitoring will go no later than 3:00pm on Thurs Feb 27 as course staff prepares for the midterm.
- Masks are encouraged but not required.
- Students will be let into the room 5-10 minutes before the
exam starts, depending on when set-up is ready.
Do not enter the room until proctors let you in.
Before entering,
verify on the posted (outside the room) seating list
(by ID #) that this is the correct room for your
exam. Also note the seat (given as row and
column when facing the front of the room).
- Once let into the room students may not
leave the room unless during specified periods (see below)
or unless being escorted to the bathroom (i.e. before
entering, go to the washroom).
- Students may arrive up to an hour late but no extra
writing time will be given - everyone ends at the same time.
- Find your exam (it will have your name and photo on it)
- Put your photo-ID WatCard, pens, pencils, erasers, reference sheet on the
desk and put your backpack, bags, pencil cases, hats, cell phone (turned off), etc. under the desk,
closed, clear from the aisle and out of sight.
- Read the instructions on the first page and sign under the instructions
in pen.
- Read the blackboard/whiteboard/projected instructions and listen to
instructions from the proctor(s).
- Do not start until the proctor instructs to do so.
Stop writing at the end when instructed.
Failure to stop when told to will lower your mark.
- You may not leave during the first hour of the exam or
within the last 10 minutes.
At the end, remain seated, until the proctors have collected
all exams and announce that you may leave.
- During the exam, a proctor will come around with a
signature (attendance) list that you must sign in pen.
Proctors will also look at your WatCard to verify you are
writing the right exam and check that you have signed the
front page of the exam.
- Write your answers legibly and clearly. If graders cannot
read your answer, they cannot mark it. Also do not answer
close to a paper's edge or faintly since this may not be
picked up by the scanning done to upload your exam to
Crowdmark for marking (i.e. graders will not see it).
- Raise your hand if you think there is an error on the
exam or if you have need for a washroom break or if you need
to get something out of your bag/backpack after the exam has
started.
- Once you are allowed to leave and have received permission
from the proctors to do so, leave the room promptly.
- Marking will take a few days. There will be an
announcement and post mortem released when grading is ready
and you will get an email from the Crowdmark mailer with the
link to your marked exam.
