You will take the exam while attending a Microsoft Teams Live (video) Meeting to which we will have sent you a calendar invitation. Join the meeting just as you have joined the Live Meetings at the beginning of each session.
We will make announcements as needed and then you may begin the exam.
If you do not understand WHAT we are asking you to do in a problem, ask us for help.
You are on your own for actually SOLVING the problems.
If you experience any technical difficulties, contact us in Teams, or if Microsoft Teams is not working for you, send email to ALL of your instructors (mohan, mutchler, ebrahimi AT rose-hulman.edu).
For the Paper-and-Pencil part of the exam, visit the Moodle section (topic) for Session 8.
You will see a PDF named Exam 1: Paper-and-Pencil part, Winter 2020-21.
Take that part of the exam by doing either of the following (your choice):
For the On-the-Computer part of the exam: do this AFTER you have completed the Paper-and-Pencil part.
Make sure yourGlobal Protect VPN is on. Open PyCharm and do VCS ~ Update as usual to obtain the project (folder) named 08-Exam1-202120. Do the TODOs in the modules, just like you have done in your previous projects.
If the doc-string that specifies the problem is not clear to you, ask for help.
You are on your own to figure out any error messages or other errors in your code.
However, if you have any technical difficulties (e.g. PyCharm is behaving oddly), get help via the Live Meeting.
If you get stuck on a problem, move on to the next problem, returning to the one on which you are stuck as time permits. Be sure to attempt all the problems. Feel free to write a short note in a comment explaining how you WOULD solve the problem if you could figure out whatever is holding you back.
To TURN IN the exam: When you are done with the exam or the time is up, turn in your exam via the Moodle section (topic) for Session 8 AND by commit-and-push your code.
The time that you spend turning in the exam does not count as part of the exam, but let us know if you are having technical difficulties that make you take more than about 10 minutes to turn in the exam.
For the On-the-Computer part, commit-and-push your code AND copy the files in your SRC folder into the Moodle quiz you will see for that purpose.
Turn in the Paper-and-Pencil part via the Moodle quiz that you will see. In doing so:
