ENCM 369 Winter 2009: Index Page for Old Midterms

General Advice

Please keep in mind that topic coverage has varied from year to year, because the midterm has not always been in the sixth week of the term, as it will be in 2009. For example, the 2006 midterm was in the eighth week of term, so it covered more topics than the 2009 midterm will.

Topic order changed a little starting in Winter 2005 due to the switch to the 3rd edition of the textbook.

The switch to the 4th edition of the textbook has not changed the order of topic coverage in January and February 2009 relative to January and February 2008. However, revisions to the textbook will have a major effect on course content in March and April.
