Right about one thing...

... the Algorithms midterm was way too much for 75 minutes. At least everybody else in the class seemed to agree. Nobody turned in a paper early and quite a few students indicated that they simply couldn't get through all of it. I did answer everything, but a few of my proofs were pretty abbreviated and one was downright lame (though the instructions said to just indicate the general ideas and not worry about formal proof).

It was a little disappointing to turn in such poor answers when I knew that in another half hour I could have had rock solid responses for everything. Maybe I'll be able to redeem myself on the final, which I'm pretty sure is a standard 3-hour deal.
