students:
THE
FINAL 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:
C
fundamentals, functions, decisions, repetition,
file
handling, arrays and strings.
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 3% 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 four written questions
worth
10% each. The written questions
may include
essay-type
questions, for example: "Explain the difference
between
a static and a dynamic array".
The written questions
may
involve locating errors in the code provided, or writing
a short
C program or function (note: comments are
NOT
required in programs written for an exam). In the
written
questions, marks will be awarded for partially correct answers.
GPA
===
Your
attendance and progress will be monitored throughout this course.
You
will receive regular status reports. Students may also
collect
a copy of their current status report from the Computer Science
office
during the instructor's office hours.
The
date of the final exam is shown in the course schedule.
You
should check the General Office notice board for any changes.
