The midterm will be next week and will probably look something like this...

Some questions on learning and metacognition.

A question on the Student Lingo assigments

Some questions about the mechanics of how I have you do Comprehension Check questions. These won't involve knowing any specific technical details, but will focus on the basic instructions for doing the questions.

Technical learning: There will be some questions on dimensions and units. You are only expected to be reasonably compentent in one of them (you can choose). If you look at the diagnostic quiz, make sure you can do problems from one of the topics.

OnShape: You'll be asked to construct a basic model using the tools we've practiced with. This will cover the concepts in the first lesson and the first homework.

Here is a practice exam. I recommend that you try taking it and timing yourself (allow yourself about 75 minutes). NOTE: If we didn't have any technical reading on vectors and matrices, then you can safely ignore those questions and there will not be any on the midterm.

Here are some example answers (yours will be different on the essay questions). Notice how my work is not crowded. I didn't proofread my submission so it looks like I missed a word on my answer to #4. An isolated error like this would not result in a deduction.
