Exams

• Midterm exam will be held at 10:00-12:00 on November 28, 2004. You can bring your textbook and notes to the exam. Midterm locations are as follows (all classrooms are in the BCC building):
  • Sections 1 and 3: BZ 06, 07, 08
  • Section 2: BZ 04, 05
  • Sections 4 and 5: B 111, 204, 206
  • Sections 6 and 7: BZ 01, 02, 03
  [ Questions ] [ Grade statistics ]
• Final exam will be held at 15:30-17:30 (2 hours) on January 10, 2005. You will be required to write all programs in Java but you are responsible from all algorithms and examples we have covered for both Matlab and Java.
  Exam locations are as follows (BZ classrooms are in the BCC building, EB classrooms are in the Engineering Building):
  • Section 1: EB 101, 102
  • Section 2: BZ 04, 05
  • Section 3: EB 203, 204
  • Section 4: BZ 08
  • Sections 5 and 6: BZ 01, 02, 03
  • Section 7: EB 103, 104
  You can check the final exam for Spring 2004 but please remember that the final for this semester may be a very different one. For example, question 5 is not relevant because we have not covered many topics in Chapters 4 and 5 from the Java book.

Grading Policy

• Note 1: Attendance to the lab sessions is mandatory.
• Note 2: You can learn your individual grades from SAPS.
