THE FINAL EXAM

==============

The final exam is a 3 hour written exam.

The final exam is worth 40% of the final grade.

Students must attain an overall passing grade on

the weighted average of exams in the course

in order to obtain a clear pass (C or better).

The final exam will focus on the topics covered in the

second part of the course (after midterm). However,

it is assumed that you understand the material in the

first part of the course, on which the latter part depends:

Java fundamentals, decisions, repetition, objects,

classes and methods and arrays.

The final exam will be composed of a mix of questions:

At the start of the exam there will be 15 multiple choice

or true/false questions on a mix of topics (worth 2% each),

followed by 10 questions (worth 4% each) which require

that you predict the output of programs. Partially correct

answers will be awarded a proportional score. Following the

predict the output questions there will be three written questions

worth 10% each. The written questions may include

essay-type questions, for example: "Explain how the static keyword

is used in Java". The written questions may involve locating errors

in the code provided, or writing a short Java program or method

(note: comments are NOT required in programs written for an exam).

For the written questions, marks will be awarded for partially

correct answers.

GPA
