Exam 1

Exam 1 will be held in the room 110 KA on Wednesday, October 10, 6:00 - 9:00 pm. You can bring all notes, textbook, homeworks, any paper material - no electronics.

A sample exam from the last Spring - with solutions - can be found here.

A list of lecture notes that will help you with the review for the exam is available here.

Erin will be available for help, review, and questions on Tuesday, October 9th from 6:00 pm till 8:00 pm

The class on Wednesday will also be run as a review session - bring your last-minute questions.

Some basic rules for the exam:

• Read the entire problem before starting to work on any part of it.
• You are not required to include templates, unless the problem specifically asks for them. However, do so at your own peril.
• You must give examples for all data you define and use, tests for all methods you define - this is implied in the design recipes for data definitions and for methods and does not have to be specified in the problem statement. Non-negotiable!
• If you have defined examples of data earlier in the problem, or even previous problems, you can use them in the test cases for methods that are defined in a later part of the exam. Just include the reference to where the data has been defined.

Assignment 3

I have just discovered that the html version of the assignment as posted was missing the second page. The pdf version had 3 pair programming problems, while the html had only one.

We will discuss in class whether this has been a serious problem and how to proceed. Meanwhile, please work on the entire assignment, i.e. all three problems.

Textbook

I checked with the ReproGraphics. They had the book all along - sent it outside to be copied in time for the beginning of the semester - and forgot to enter it into their list. It has been sitting there on the floor since the end of August. So, go get the book :)

Second installment will be ready when we need it.
