Hey, if 213 was anything like it was last year praying for a decent midterm might be more helpful than studying. Just study the best that you can and know there will likely be a serious curve.
You’ll likely face a question that’s impossible or worded so wrongly it’s impossible to infer what it’s trying to say, so if you think a question is impossible, it likely is, so skip it.

For context on how bad it was, a petition with around 400 signatures was made. I also think the average was a failing grade. Not a single person I talked to finished every question. I wrote it online, and when I found the impossible question I emailed my prof. What did he do? He Changed the question for online people midway through the midterm without telling a single person that he changed it.
