What to expect on the midterm test in Math 467


1.  You don't need to memorize proposition numbers.

2.  DO learn the axioms and their numbers (and major theorems by 
name).

3.  Know the CONTENT of definitions and theorems.

4.  Test covers up through congruence (NOT continuity axioms).  
(You might want to try the October 21 homework early.)

5.  There will be an essay question worth at least 20 points 
(revisable).  It may be or include a proof, but may be more 
conceptual.  Other questions may be "essay-like".

6.  There will be at least one proof.  It might be
    a) one of the 4 main theorems (Pasch, crossbar, ASA, SSS)
    b) something you haven't seen before (but straightforward)
    c) something you have seen (straightforward)

7.  In view of the large size of this class, there will be more 
multiple-choice questions than in some previous semesters.

8.  For the same reason, there is unlikely to be a question with 
choice and with extra credit for doing both choices.

9.  I will provide the paper.

10. There will be an extra office hour the day before (3:00 
Thursday, Oct 15).
