Preparing for mid-terms exam is never an easy process. It is under one month since the class began, yet you have several sources of information: textbook, lectures, and recitation assignments. In some instances, it is the students themselves who prove to be the best resource for exam preparation. If you and your colleagues have been attentive (even to different parts of the class and reading), then it is possible for you to share your knowledge with each other in the hopes of performing well on this first exam. We have thus set aside this week's recitations for test preparation.

Prior to arriving at your recitation, you should devise six questions that abstract material from the textbook and the lectures. You should pose three questions that you cannot answer but that you "feel" could be on the exam. You should then provide three questions/topics that you "feel" could be on the exam and for which you KNOW the answer. Please provide not only the questions/topics but the answer as well. You should be prepared to teach your classmates about the subject matter behind these last two questions/topics.

If you have any questions leading up to this review, please contact your teaching assistant.
