Office Hour Session

To be announced
location to be announced



COMMON FINAL Tuesday, 10 June

7-10 pm
Bldg 10
Room 220
 If you have a conflict (another "final" at the same time, or 3 finals in a row), notify your instructor in writing by April 31, and an alternative time will be arranged for you. When you write, provide your complete exam schedule (both courses and times). The CONFLICT FINAL will be held in the FDL of building 14, from 4 pm to 7 pm. You must find out where the FDL is beforehand (it is "behind" the open labs in building 14, underneath 302 and 303 labs.) NEWS: The syllabus says you may bring a small card with notes to the major course exams. For this final, the rules have been modified to permit you to bring your textbook, another reference book (Java in a Nutshell?) and your notes (only notes that were actually written by you).
 
Notes:
  • Weekly Readings: You should read the material before the corresponding lecture. See the course syllabus for more information.
  • (Almost) weekly quizzes: These will not include new material to be covered in lecture after the quiz. Thus, the quiz given in week 2 will cover all of the material assigned for week 2. Then, the quiz given at the end of week 3 will emphasize material assigned for week 3.
  • Another point about quizzes and exams: They are cumulative. That is, although newly-covered material will be emphasized, there may be questions about any topic up to that point in the course.
