title = "On the necessity of midterm exams in electrical engineering courses",
abstract = "In this paper the author viewed several electrical engineering and software engineering courses over a period of 10 years to determine the correlation between attending midterm exams and succeeding in the final exams. The results show that the correlation is high. The results do not show correlation between higher grades in the midterm exam and higher grades in the final exam. The conclusion of this work is that midterm exams are important both to the students and to the lecturer and conducting them usually assists students in obtaining better grades. It is also suggested that such exams should become compulsory to motivate students to study during the semester and potentially improve their chances of excelling in the courses.",
