\mytitle{Finite State Machines and the Midterm}{\co}

This week, we had a midterm, so our professor decided to give us homework \#5
for free, kept kept the quiz for the follwing week. Additionally, we had a guest
speaker who was possible going to be a new professor in the department, so we
had it easy for the week.

The midterm was jam packaged with questions. The first twenty lone consisted of
various conversion and technical multiple-choice questions. Following them were
a series of question about decoders, encoders, and multiplexers. These were
lengthy to complete, but nothing I couldn't do.

After about the halfway mark is where it got easier, just a couple
floating-point conversions, memory calculations, and register problems which
were all fast to do, as our assignments are all open-book.
