The intent of the required oral mid-term is a check-in at the half-way point of the course. My goal with the mid-term is to help you, not to test you, to answer any questions, and/or clarify any points of confusion. This is a free 25 points; I give all 100% scores to those who connect with me. I put the responsibility on you to make arrangements to meet with me for around 10 minutes. This can be done during class/lab time, in-person outside of class, or via Skype, whichever you prefer. Be sure to connect with me before the due date.
