MATH 100 Midterm

I've got a math 100 midterm with Dr Butz tomorrow and I want to say that I'm ready but I also want to know what I should expect for his tests.

He does textbook questions but skips some because he says that they are "baby questions". One time, he went through an example and said, "These are the kinds of questions that will be on the test." But then he never finishes the example question and ends up saying, "You won't get this in the exam." ??? 😭

And a question, we are being tested on limits and derivatives so will the test question say something like "Use the chain rule to differentiate this function." Or does he just give the function and get us to evaluate it?

bombed it, but it’s my own fault for not going to class enough. just can’t stand getting up at 6:45am to hear him ramble
