Past
Midterms
I make all past
exams available for completeness a) for your inspection, b) for your
information. I do not think that all exams are good preparation for your
upcoming exam. Past exams are not a predictor
of what future exams may be like; in fact, sometimes there may not be a high
correlation between the questions I asked in past exams with questions I ask in
upcoming exams. There are 4 issues
1) I cover different materials
in different classes due to the topical nature of this class. Different
countries have crises and different material is necessary to understand these
crises.
2) Only the material that has
been covered in this class will be covered on your exam.
3) Questions from past exams
that refer to material we have not covered are irrelevant for your exam
4) At times this course has had
either a set of two or a set of three major exams. As you inspect the exams
below, you will find that some Midterm I / Midterm II exams cover more or less
than we have before the exam.
Please keep these
caveats in mind if you decide to study using these old exams.
I do not have a
list of answers for the exams. If you have questions as to specific solutions,
I invite you to visit my office hours.
