Exams - Spring 2018
IMPORTANT POLICY ABOUT SPRING BREAK:
There is a lab exam on Thursday, March 8, the day before midsemester/Spring
break. Do NOT make plans to travel before your classes end on Thursday,
March 8. Noearly exams will be allowed, and if youwant tovacation
early, you risk getting a 0on the lab exam. SpringBreak starts
on Friday, March 9 for those without mini-3finals,not earlier.
IMPORTANT POLICY ABOUT FINAL EXAMS:
Do NOT make travel plans until you
have the official final exam schedule, and you
know definitively when your last final is. No early
exams will be given, and students with conflicts
or more than 3 exams in 25 hours might need to take
a final on the official makeup day (Tue., May 15).
Travel cost or a parent booking a trip for you is NOT a
valid excuse for an alternate final. NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE.
There are two types of exams in this class: written and lab. Written exams
(3 midterms and a final) cover key concepts in the class and occur during
your regular lecture time, except for the final exam which is scheduled
separately. Lab exams test basic programming skills and occur during
designated lab periods just prior to midsemester break and prior to
the final exam period. All exams are required in this course; no exam will
be dropped.
Approximately one week before each exam (except the final exam),
a sample exam will be posted
for you to use as a reference to give you an idea of the range of topics
on the exam and how the exam is generally organized. Questions on the
actual exams will differ, but the overall topic coverage will be similar.
We recommend that you review your notes and course material once a
week as you progress through the course, rather than wait until an exam
to cram. This will likely give you a better outcome since you'll review
the material several times and give you time to ask questions while
the material is fresh and new. Click
