That’s a wrap

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

My 210 brothers,

I have graded the Final Exam and entered the grades into Merlin. I don’t know that that means you have access to them, however. If you want your grade, you can email me. If you have questions about the Final Exam or your grading, then we can meet… just email.

That’s a wrap, so have a great break!

Final Exam details

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

Hey all,

The “official” final exam schedule is here: http://www.northcentralcollege.edu/x5930.xml

Our exam is Monday March 10, 2008 from 6:00-8:00 pm… please note the start time is 30 minutes earlier than our normal class, just to screw you up and add more pressure to the process. They didn’t change location on us though… same old room, Carn-diggy 113.

I expect the format of the Final Exam to be pretty similar to the Midterm. Some other important details are:

  • The final is worth 30% of your final grade.
  • You are encouraged to bring one side of one page of notes for new material… and your old page of notes from the Midterm. You are not allowed to use your book, calculator, or neighbor.
  • The exam is comprehensive with a strong emphasis on the second half material:
    • Chapters 8-12
    • Programs 3-5
    • Any other stuff covered in lecture: disjoint sets/forest, skip lists, huffman trees, etc.

I will be available via email all weekend. If you need to meet, please email me, and we will schedule a rendezvous. I will be in my office Monday morning from 10:00 to noon.

thanks… yow, bill

Week 5, Day 2… the midterm

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Hey,

Here are some details of the midterm exam:

  • The exam is this Wednesday, Jan 30, 2008.
  • It’s worth 30% of your final grade.
  • You are welcome and encouraged to bring one side of one page of notes. You are not allowed use your book, a calculator, or neighbor.
  • The exam will cover Chapters 1-7 and Appendices A-C. Appendix B on UML is important because of class diagrams.  I’m not going to ask you a bunch of general off-the-top-of-my-head Java or Java GUI questions. I also don’t expect you to be a Java compiler. I do expect you to quickly code up small snippets of code to show concepts like inheritance, generics, exceptions, ADT’s, etc. Make sense?

run… yow, bill
