Aftermath of Midterm 1

          I was extremely anxious going into the first midterm, not really knowing what to expect. Luckily, it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be, but a few of the questions still threw me for a loop. The ones I had the most difficulty with were the questions on the readings. While studying for the exam I skimmed over all of the readings and took notes on what I considered the important points of the text, but this was insufficient considering the detail expected in one or two of the questions. It would have served me better to have reread all of the papers since it had been a week or more from the time I had read most them. Other than that, I thought the programming questions were manageable.
