CSSE 221: Introduction to Software Development Honors
Exam 2, Fall 2009-2010

The Rules

1. This is a take-home exam.
2. Begin this exam any time after Tuesday, November 10, end of class.
3. Complete this exam any time before Thursday, November 12, beginning of class.
4. Time limit: 3 hours for written and on-the-computer problems combined.
   • I hope that 2 hours will be ample for everyone.
   • But budget 3 hours so that you are more assured that time pressure will not play a role.
   • You may split the exam over two sessions if you wish.
   • If you spend 3 hours on the exam and want more time, email me to discuss the possibility of an extension.
     • Don't continue past 3 hours without permission — I want you to use your time wisely, so I want to be part of any discussion about taking more than 3 hours.

5. This exam is open-everything, including but not limited to your computer, the Internet, the course web site, Angel, and your textbook(s). BUT:
6. You may NOT discuss the problems in this exam with anyone except your instructor until class time Thursday, November 12 (at which time you turn in the exam)
7. You write code for this portion of the exam; there are ALSO written problems (paper copy given to you in class). See the problems for the on-the-computer problems.
8. Because of time constraints, no documentation is required on this exam.
   • However, you ARE expected to use good style (and your score will be reduced if you do not do so).
9. DO prepare hard for this test (by making sure you understand the lessons of ArraysAndArrayLists, SwingDemo, VectorGraphics, and your Capstone project). DON'T get anxious about this test.
   • If you find that you cannot do some of the problems, I'll meet with you after the test to help you overcome any blind spots and offer you a retest as part of the final exam. Don't abuse this privilege (DO prepare for the test!), but I hope that it reduces any anxiety about the test.
10. If you have questions about The Rules for this exam, ask BEFORE the exam (like now!).
