Mid-term exam will be in class on March 14. It will include all assigned material through the end of chapter 6, plus derivatives material covered through Feb. 28.
You should be thinking about a term-paper topic. Pick a section of the book not on the syllabus to explore, or a section on the syllabus to explore more deeply than the text did. Although the paper will not be due until April 30 I will ask you to tell me your topic by March 30, and will hold you to that topic unless you give me a good reason to switch. For those who did not pick their own topic by March 30, the assigned topic is at the following link:
