Test Policy

There will be three tests throughout the semester, plus a final exam. The tests will cover concepts, as well as coding; however, you may expect coding to constitute a significant portion of the exam. It is expected that you will be familiar with the material from any programming homework that is due prior to an exam and able to work any problems that are from those homeworks, or similar to them with relative ease. While we will ask questions that directly relate to the homework, they may be slight variations on what was presented in those assignments- therefore, it is very important to understand the material, not just to memorize things if you wish to do well in this course. Furthermore, we may ask you to code something that you have not seen at all before, but which you should be able to code from your understanding of the concepts involved.

There are no cheat-sheets or calculators allowed.

IMPORTANT:

You must have a passing grade (>60 average) based on all exams (combined) to pass the course. See the grading percentages for details.

You have two weeks from the time the TAs review the exams to challenge an exam grade. After the two week period has passed, the grade will stand as is. Challenges should be made with specific issues and on specific questions.
