Assessment

As indicated in the Grades page, assessment in this course is based on taking three written tests and three labtests.

The written tests assess your understanding of the concepts the underlie the material. The labtests assess your ability to actually build software and are thus held in the lab. This page provides information about these tests and will be updated one week before each.

• All machines in the lab will be in labtest mode.
• Bring a Photo ID. You may not use any book, notes, or any sheet of paper, blank or not. You will have access to the Java API and to your submitted PEx's.
• Seating may be preassigned and there may be several test versions.
• No questions will be allowed during the test.

• If you took your LabTest#2 at anytime other than 1:00 pm then you will first take your written test in CLH-E from 7:00 to 8:20 pm and then your lab test in Prism from 8:40 to 10:00 pm.
