Midterm

This class will have a midterm on Thursday, Mar 3, 2022 during class in the usual classroom.

The test will be on Canvas, so it will be available in class or through Zoom if you are sick or quarantined.
It will be entirely open-book, open Internet, etc. That means you can look up anything you want during the test.
The midterm is individual. You are not allowed to look at another person's midterm or discuss questions with other students during the exam.
- I will be available to answer questions in person and also through Zoom chat.
The content of the midterm can be anything covered in the lectures, guest lectures or homeworks up until the February 24th lecture topic.
- This includes homeworks 1, 2 and 3, and Bill Buxton's guest lecture.
- It will not cover "Desktop Metaphors, Icons, Window Managers".
- Another way to look at it, is that the exam will cover chapters 1-5, 7-10, and 21 of the textbook.
  - Not chapters 6 or 11
The focus will be on the design tradeoffs and evaluations for different options for different interaction techniques.
However, there will be some questions about historical systems, and what was first introduced with which systems.
The format will include multiple-choice questions like the quizzes, but also short answer and essay questions that will be manually graded.
