Afterward, I’ll review the following sections:
Basic concepts of Operant Conditioning: reinforcement, punishment

You will be tested on your conceptual understanding of the material. Make sure that you feel comfortable with everything.
Be sure to prepare properly because most of your questions are based on conceptual understanding and not just memorization terminology but be sure to understand it.
Don't slack off, be sure to study. The main reason why people do badly in this midterm is that they underestimate the amount of time they should have put aside to study or did not take the time to review the material.
Be sure to ask questions if things don't make sense!
