Tests

There will be three tests and a final exam in this class.

The tests will be approximately every four weeks. These tests will consist of material from class, the book, and assigned homework. Tests will include short answer and essay questions.

Students who complete and understand the programming assignments before the test on the material used in that program will have a significant advantage on the tests.

More information about tests will be posted here as it is available.


A tentative testing schedule is as follows:
Test Chapters Week Date
1 1-3 5 Feb 17
2 4-5 7 Mar 1
3 6-9 12 April 14
Final Everything Finals May 3, 10:00

Please note, the dates and material are subject to change. Details on the tests will be formalized a week or two before the test in class.

Students who miss a test will be given a make up only in the case of well documented emergencies. In any case, the content and difficulty of the make up test will be different from that of the original test.

Please note, we will be learning a large number of terms in this class and I believe that it is reasonable that you know the terms, use them correctly, and be able to define them.
