The midterm is on Thursday, October 22, 2026, 7–9pm PT.

If you need to take an alternate exam, or if you have another exam at the same time, or if you need DSP accommodations, please fill out this midterm accomodations form by Sunday, October 11, 2026, 11:59pm PT. We will respond to all form submissions after the form closes. The form will remain open until Tuesday, October 20 at 11:59pm PT, but we cannot guarantee any requests submitted after Sunday, October 11, 2026, 11:59pm PT.

The scope of the midterm is as follows: Lectures 1–12, Projects 1–2, Discussions 1–6.

The exam will be closed-book, closed-notes, and closed-Internet. No calculators are allowed (no questions should require a calculator). However, you may use two cheat sheets (each two-sided) of your own design. The cheat sheets must be handwritten or typed on standard A4 or letter paper (8.5 x 11 inches). Handwritten tablet notes may be printed and used. If you need to print for free, you can access a list of instructional printers. Each student has $12.00 in their printing account for each semester, which is enough for 200 single-sided black and white printed sheets or 120 double-sided black and white printed sheets. Learn more about EECS printers.

Room Logistics

  • We will email you your exam location a day or two before the exam.
  • Please try to arrive early (around 6:50pm PT), so that we can start on time. If you arrive late, you will not be granted any extra time.

Academic Integrity

  • Any form of communication or collaboration is cheating. Providing answers, receiving answers, and even just talking with others about course material during the exam windows are all violations of the Berkeley honor code.
  • Every case of potential academic dishonesty will be manually reviewed, and you’ll be able to discuss the situation with an instructor.
  • We may ask some students to take a short verbal exam after the exam and explain how to solve one or more problems that are similar to an exam question they got right.
  • Please be mindful to not discuss the exam until solutions are released. Keep in mind that we still have alternates and DSP exams after the normal exam ends.
