Our term test will take place at class time, on Tuesday October 27, starting at 3:10PM and ending at 5PM, '''in two separate locations:''' at MP 202 if your last name begins with A through R, and at Bahen 1190 if it begins with S through Z. No material other than stationary will be allowed; calculators will be forbidden and anyway useless. |

The material for the term test is '''everything done in class or in tutorials''', including the false proof of the 4CT. There will be no sample exam. Most likely there will be some choice: "choose 4 out of 5", or "7 out of 8 smaller questions", or something similar. The questions will come from four sources: class material (usually, "repeat something done in class"), questions discussed at the tutorials, questions assigned as homework (for submission or not), and questions from the book that were not assigned or discussed but that are similar to questions assigned or discussed. |

'''Remember.''' Neatness counts! Organization counts! Language counts! Proofs are best given as short and readable essays; without the English between the formulas one never knows how to interpret those formulas. When you write, say, "<math>x\in V</math>", does it mean "choose <math>x\in V</math>", or "we've just proven that <math>x\in V</math>", or "assume by contradiction that <math>x\in V</math>", or "for every <math>x\in V</math>" or "there exists <math>x\in V</math>"? If you don't say, your reader has no way of knowing. Also remember that long and roundabout solutions of simple problems, full of detours and irrelevant facts, are often an indication that their author didn't quite get the point, even if they are entirely correct.

Our term test will take place at class time, on Tuesday October 27, starting at 3:10PM and ending at 5PM, in two separate locations: at MP 202 if your last name begins with A through R, and at Bahen 1190 if it begins with S through Z. No material other than stationary will be allowed; calculators will be forbidden and anyway useless.
The material for the term test is everything done in class or in tutorials, including the false proof of the 4CT. There will be no sample exam. Most likely there will be some choice: "choose 4 out of 5", or "7 out of 8 smaller questions", or something similar. The questions will come from four sources: class material (usually, "repeat something done in class"), questions discussed at the tutorials, questions assigned as homework (for submission or not), and questions from the book that were not assigned or discussed but that are similar to questions assigned or discussed.
Remember. Neatness counts! Organization counts! Language counts! Proofs are best given as short and readable essays; without the English between the formulas one never knows how to interpret those formulas. When you write, say, "", does it mean "choose ", or "we've just proven that ", or "assume by contradiction that ", or "for every " or "there exists "? If you don't say, your reader has no way of knowing. Also remember that long and roundabout solutions of simple problems, full of detours and irrelevant facts, are often an indication that their author didn't quite get the point, even if they are entirely correct. Avoid those!
