The final will test material covered since the beginning of the semester though cover more intensively material after the midterm. This includes
-- everything we have done in class (readings, lectures, labs,
homeworks) except what was covered in discussion.
Administration
The final will be administered in two parts.
The first part will be administered at
200 Sutardja Dai on Monday, August 12th in lab.
Please be on time and attend the lab your are signed up for.
This part of the final is done on the computer(one computer
per student) and we will ask you to download files and instructions.
You will submit your final answers on bSpace under the assignments tab and under the "Online Final" assignment corresponding to your lab.
The second part will be administered at TBD on Wednesday, August 14th from TBD.
It will be done on paper, and we will provide a list of the blocks available in Scratch and BYOB
that you can use. The style of this part of the final will be similar to that of the midterm:
we will ask you questions on the readings, on various concepts, and on programming in BYOB.
You are allowed three study sheets of size 8.5" x 11", handwritten on both
sides.
Please let the staff know if you have a legitimate conflict with the times of the midterm
administrations or require DSP accommodations so that we can make alternate arrangements. Please let us know by Wednesday, August 7th; we cannot help you if you inform us the day before the final exam.
Review Session
There will be a review session for the final, as listed on the website calendar.
Preparation
First off, don't panic! Drink some chamomile tea, take a deep breath, and maybe even
read this
comic strip. Work through the labs and homeworks once again, and ask questions if anything
is unclear. We have also posted previous Finals below. You may find them useful to get a sense
of how the final will be structured and what may be on it.
