====== Assessment ======
As indicated in the //Grades// page, assessment in this course is based on performing //eight// lab tests and taking //two// written tests. This page provides information about the first written test.


===== Written Test #1 =====

==== Policies ====
    * Test time/place: 5:30-6:45 pm on Monday Feb 22 in VH-D
    * This is a closed-book, 75-min test
    * Bring a Photo ID
    * You can write your answers in pen or pencil
    * You may use a calculator
    * Do not bring any sheets of paper, blank or not. The MIPS Green Card and the SPIM syscall sheet will be provided.
    * Seating may be preassigned and there may be several test versions.
    * No questions will be allowed during the test. 

==== Outline ====

Expect two types of questions:

  * Questions that test your understanding of the concepts. These may involve presenting logical arguments or performing a computation. 
  * Questions that test your ability to interpret and/or create MIPS code. These involve determining the output of a given fragment or the implementing of a method.

To prepare for these, do the tasks of Labs A through D; read the posted lecture notes (and consult their cross-listed textbook sections if needed); and do the exercises posted in the notes.
