I'm betting a bunch of people will be writing a SLOG post in the next few days, or at least when we get our midterms back. Excuse the title. I honestly couldn't think of any puns, so I figured I'd talk about my main problem (question two on midterm two). Which I could have probably written as II-2, 2-2, 2-II, or Tutu. (Explaining jokes makes them so much funnier. Sarcasm intended.)
Personally, I found the midterm pretty okay. My preparation consisted of this: Writing down every identity on my cheat sheet and answering questions 1 & 3 on the sample midterm. On the sample midterm, there was a question that used ceilings, so I decided to write down our whole proof structure from our notes (regarding floors and x + 1, x - 1) onto the cheat sheet. Fortunately, that was the last question of the exam, so that took all of 2 minutes.
The main problem I had was the second question. I'm still not sure if I solved it right, though everything seems to have made sense to me. It was definitely the hardest one on the test, though I might have over complicated it when thinking about it.
And since I'm pretty much going backwards, question 1 was pretty good. Required partial factoring, which we've done a lot of, and overall, it wasn't too bad. Here's hoping my marks agree with me.
