CS:1210 About the Final Exam

CS:1210 Final Exam Announcement

The Final Exam for CS:1210 "Computer Science I: Fundamentals" will be held on May 15 (Friday) from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm in 100 PH (Philips Hall).

During the exam you can use any written material you bring, including lecture notes, Python programs, Python documentation, etc. Make sure you bring everything that you feel you will need to the exam because you will not be allowed to share or borrow material with classmates during the exam. You will have to turn off and remove from your vicinity all electronic devices including cell phones, lap tops, calculators, dictionaries, etc.

The exam is worth 150 points, which is 15% of your final grade. Here is a brief description of the structure of the exam, along with point distribution:

Problem 1 [40 points] On lists and strings, including list comprehensions.
Problem 2 [40 points] On dictionaries, including network exploration.
Problem 3 [30 points] On recursion, including quick sort.
Problem 4 [40 points]. On object-oriented programming in Python.

Each problem will consist of 2-3 parts. At least one part in each problem will involve writing code. You may also be asked to evaluate expressions, fill-in-blanks in code, etc. Please pay close attention to all the code I posted on the course website, including homework solutions.

You may use the following final exams from previous times I've taught this course as practice: Final exam from Spring 2014, Final exam from Spring 2013, and Final exam from Spring 2012.
