The On-the-Computer portion of the exam contains problems similar to those you did in your PyCharm projects.

For Exam 1, your repository contains a sample On-the-Computer exam in the project named 06b-Sample_Exam1-Optional.

AFTER you complete the Paper-and-Pencil part of the exam:

• Open PyCharm and do VCS ~ Update to obtain the exam (if it is not already present).
• Work through the TODOs in the modules, just as you have done in your previous PyCharm projects.

If you have QUESTIONS while taking the On-the-Computer portion of the exam:

• As a reminder: ALWAYS work BY HAND any example that the problem supplies. That helps you understand the specification AND suggests how to write the code!
• You may contact us by using Microsoft Teams, by email, or by telephone (your choice).
• If you do not understand WHAT a problem is asking you to do, contact us and ask us to help you understand the problem SPECIFICATION.
• If you have technical problems of any sort (e.g. PyCharm stops working), contact us.
• You are ON YOUR OWN with regard to SOLVING the problems. In particular:
  • We will NOT offer any help on ANY error messages produced by running your program.
  • We will NOT help you debug your code to figure out why it is failing test cases.

While you are taking the On-the-Computer portion of the exam:

• You must NOT examine anything on the Internet, except Moodle for turning in your code.
• You must NOT communicate with any person other than your instructor while taking the exam.
• It is OK to use your computer for anything other than the above.
  • In particular, it is OK to examine and use the previous projects in your repository.
• It is OK to use books, handouts, or other written materials that you have gathered BEFORE the exam.
• It is OK to use scratch paper.
