CS360 Midterm Exam - March 8, 2022

This ended up being a difficult exam, and time got most of you. To help, I gave three quizzes in Canvas that the students were to do in lab. They were just like problems 2-4, and students could replace their scores on problems 2-4 with the results of those quizzes.

I will express my disappointment in a large number of answers to Questions 5 and 6. I expected those questions to have 100% correct, since they are straightforward concepts that are typically on every CS360 midterm that I give. There was nothing tricky -- just show that you know what hard links are and what buffering is.
