Further information on the home exam

We have received some questions regarding the home exam, and to straighten out any uncertainties we would like to clarify the following:

1.     You are expected to answer both questions on the midterm.
2.     You can use up to 2000 words per question.
3.     Both questions will be awarded equal weight when we grade the tests.
4.     The questions are not connected to each other, and you should answer them separately, not attempting to establish any links between them.
