Midterm for Archived CSCI 650:

Distance students:
The test is on WebCT under the quizzes and exams icon.
On Vista there is an assessments tab on the left panel (between Course Content and Assignments).
To make sure that you can download everything properly,
first try downloading the exam Test Access Attempt. You want to try this first since once you download the Actual Midterm, the clock starts ticking.

Specifically, you have 2 hours total (from start time of first access to end time of submission). So make sure you have access to a printer to download the test (right button gives print choice), and then be close to a fax or scanner so that you can send me your results within that time.
My fax number is (530) 898-5995.
My email is akeuneke@csuchico.edu if you want to send me a digital copy (I can read .gif and also .pdf and .ps files). Our mailer will not accept .zip files so do not try to attach .zip files. Instead, rename the .zip to .jar and send it. I will change the extension back when I get it. Our mailer has no problems with .jars.

The actual midterm is titled: Midterm Exam.
The test is open book and open notes, but in fairness to onsite students (and your own time constraints), you should not use the internet.

Even though the midterm is open book and open notes, since it is a timed test, students usually do not have time to look things up if they do not already have some idea about the concepts. I highly suggest that for the test you make up an 8x11 page "cheat sheet". I have found this to be the best way to study since it makes students go through things and think about what is important. Also, in writing it down it helps you realize if you understand it or not and thus study uncertain concepts. Almost always the students with the best cheat sheets do better. Carefully go through the course notes and homeworks.

Local students taking archived class:
When you are ready to take the tests you should contact me via email akeuneke@csuchico.edu
I will arrange for you to take the midterm at a time that is convenient for both of us.
Since you are "local" students taking the archived class for various reasons, the online test will not be an option for you.
