Homework 7

I have posted homework 7 here.

It is NOT due this coming Sunday.

Instead it is due Sunday, March 27th.

This is to give you time to study for the midterm.

And to give me time to score it.

Midterm

October 22nd.

The exam will be given in this room.

It will consist of questions like those on the quizzes along with questions asking you to write short segments of Python code.

60% of the points on this exam will consist of questions from the Ungraded Class Quizzes.

There will be 15 of these questions, worth 4 points each.

The other 40% of points will come from four questions that ask you to write a short segment of code.

There will be 4 of these questions worth 10 points each.

To study for the code questions you should be able to

A good way to study for the code questions is to review the Class Exercises and homework solutions.

Today's class will be a review session.

You will only be responsible for the material in the Class Notes for today's class on the exam.

If for some reason you cannot take the exam on the date mentioned above you must contact me to make alternate arrangements.

The Midterm is given on paper.

I scan each exam paper and upload the scans to Gradescope.

I score the exam on Gradescope.

You will get an email from Gradescope with your score when I am done.

The Midterm is a closed book exam.

You are not allowed to use any resource other than what is in your head, while taking the exam.

Cheating on the exam will result in a score of 0 and will be reported to the Administration.

Remember your Oath of Honesty.

To prevent cheating, certain rules will be enforced during the exam.

Remember, the Midterm and Final determine 50% of your grade.
