Videos and Reading:
All of the following are required except items
labeled Optional are, well, optional (i.e.,
things
that may be interesting but do not directly pertain to your success in this
course).
Reminder:
Exam 1 is Thursday evening, September 14.
The regular in-class session on Thursday is optional .
We will be in the classroom as usual to
answer any last-minute questions about the practice problems.
The test itself is
Thursday evening from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
(with an additional 30-minute grace period)
So NOT during regular class. This is an EVENING exam.
The rooms for the test are:

Boutell, section 3: Olin 267
Mutchler, section 4: Olin 259

ask your instructor about them BEFORE
Format of Test 1
Read this explanation of the
Format of Test 1 .
Reminder:
You MUST have completed all the practice problems,
to your instructor's satisfaction,
BEFORE you take Exam 1.
The practice problems are:
The EXCELLENT Practice Problems for the On-The-Computer portion of Exam 1,
in the Session05_Exam1_Practice project.
The problems in the Session05b_Debugging project.
They will be a HUGE help when you encounter run-time error messages during Exam 1.
Each problem is very short. For each, get help immediately if you don't quickly see how to debug it.
The EXCELLENT Practice Problems for the Paper-And-Pencil portion of Exam 1.
You received paper copy of these in class during Session 5. Those same problems are also available
here .
AFTER (!) doing each page of those problems,
check your answers to the problems on that page via the
Answer
Key to those problems.
The Answer Key has the same page-by-page organization as the questions.
Do a page of questions, then check your answers for (only) that page.
Then do another page of questions, check your answers to that page, and so forth.
They
(all THREE items above)
are your ADMISSION TICKET to Exam 1.
If the time for Exam 1 arrives and you have NOT finished the above preparation,
come to the exam anyhow and ask your instructor
for instructions.
