Midterm: Friday July 26th, in lecture
cheat sheet (will be provided as last page of exam -- do not bring your own)
Practice Midterms:
- Sample midterm exams posted here are intended to be very similar to the actual midterm. The number of problems and type of problems on the actual exam will be much like what is seen on these practice exams. Material from Chapters 1-5 and the lectures is considered "fair game" for questions on the actual midterm.
- The following topics are guaranteed NOT to be tested on the midterm in any form:
- converting between decimal (base-10) and binary (base-2) numbers
- classes
DrawingPanel, Graphics, and Color
- exceptions
do/while loops and the break statement (regular while loops WILL be tested)
- the Java
assert statement (not the same as logical assertions, which WILL be tested)
- material from Chapter 6 and above (file I/O, etc.)
Midterm Rules and Information:
- You must show your UW Student ID card to a TA or the instructor for your submitted exam to be accepted.
- You will have 60 minutes to complete the exam. You may receive a 10-point deduction if you keep working after the instructor calls for papers. You may not leave the room until 35 minutes have passed.
- The exam is closed-book and closed-note. You must work alone and may not use any computing devices of any kind including calculators. Cell phones, music players, Google Glass, and other electronic devices may NOT be out during the exam for any reason.
- Unless a question specifically mentions otherwise, your code you write will be graded purely on external correctness (proper behavior and output) and not on internal correctness (style). So, for example, redundancy or lack of comments will not reduce your score.
- You don't need to write any
import statements in your exam code.
- On the exam it will be allowed to abbreviate
S.o.p for System.out.print and S.o.pln for System.out.println. Likewise, for the assertions question, you may abbreviate "Always," "Sometimes," or "Never" by their first letters (however, if their is any ambiguity as to your letter, you will not receive credit for it). Otherwise do not abbreviate any code on the exam.
- Please be quiet during the exam. If you have a question or need, please raise your hand.
- Corrections or clarifications to the exam will be written at the front of the room.
- If you violate the University Code of Conduct during the exam, you may receive a 0% for the exam and possibly further punishment.
- When you have finished the exam, please turn in your exam quietly and leave the room.
- If you enter the room, you must turn in an exam paper and will not be permitted to leave the room without doing so.
