Master of None

Actual questions I have received today regarding the course I am TA'ing:  

"The syllabus says that the midterm is due on the 30th and will become available a week before.  Does this mean that it will be posted on the 23rd?"

Yes.

"The syllabus says that the midterm will be posted on the 23rd and due on the 30th.  Will the midterm be timed?"

No.

Is the [open-book, take-home, week-long midterm for the online course] going to be proctored?

No.
