CSCI 2310
Final Exam Review Sheet
Spring 2009
EXAM TIME: Thursday April 30, 11:00 A.M. – 1:30 P.M.
(NEW): Review session: Tuesday April 28, 11:00 A.M. – noon (Austin 304)
The exam is closed-book and closed-note. Exception you may bring one sheet of handwritten
notes (normal sized paper). You may write notes on both the front and the back.
The exam focus is on applying the algorithmic and programming ideas we have studied. The
emphasis will be very much on both tracing and writing code. Topics of emphasis include
conditional and repetitive execution, parameter passing, return values, data types, I/O, strings,
arrays, classes, and sorting. By its very nature, the final exam is comprehensive---the things you
learned earlier in the year are used in the things learned later.
Tips for Preparing
•
Work and rework sample exercises and problems. If you understand the material well
enough to write code to solve problems, you have a good understanding of the material.
Form study groups and ask each other questions or else individually work on problems and
compare solutions.
•
For Chapter 7, you are responsible for Sections 7.1 – 7.4 in the text. Besides the self-test
problems, here are some other suggested practice problems:
Exercises 1, 4, and 19
Programming Project #1 and #5
•
Think about what notes you are going to put on your sheet. Focus on things you have a hard
time remembering.
•
Be well rested so that you can think clearly and read carefully.
