The midterm exam is take-home. You will have access to the assignment labeled "Midterm Exam" in zyBooks 30 min. after class on Wednesday 03.22.23, and you will be able to work on it on your own time anytime before it's due on Friday 03.24.23, at 9AM.
The midterm is take home and open book so that you can spend as much time as you need, in the place you need, with the tools that might best help you do well.

- Use generative AI tools (ChatGPT, etc.) to code up your answer
I will be using similarity checker tools to check to see if student work resembles others, and also if student work resembles online and chat-generated content. Using the internet to copy solutions, plagiarizing others' code, and sharing exams are all violations of the academy honesty policy, and may result in serious consequences, including failing the exam and possibly failing the course.
