Quiz

There is no quiz associated with this preparation. But there ARE things to do, as listed below.

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).

  1. Continue your preparation for Exam 1.

    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.
  2. Well before you take Exam 1, do the Preparation for Session 7. It explains the format and rules for Exam 1.
  3. Reminder for (ONLY) Dr. Boutell's section: Install pycharm and set up a github account by Wednesday's class so we can use the robots.
