Administration

The final will be administered in two parts.

The first part will be administered at 200 Sutardja Dai on Monday, August 12th in lab. Please be on time and attend the lab your are signed up for. This part of the final is done on the computer(one computer per student) and we will ask you to download files and instructions. You will submit your final answers on bSpace under the assignments tab and under the "Online Final" assignment corresponding to your lab.

The second part will be administered at TBD on Wednesday, August 14th from TBD. It will be done on paper, and we will provide a list of the blocks available in Scratch and BYOB that you can use. The style of this part of the final will be similar to that of the midterm: we will ask you questions on the readings, on various concepts, and on programming in BYOB. You are allowed three study sheets of size 8.5" x 11", handwritten on both sides.

Please let the staff know if you have a legitimate conflict with the times of the midterm administrations or require DSP accommodations so that we can make alternate arrangements. Please let us know by Wednesday, August 7th; we cannot help you if you inform us the day before the final exam.

Review Session

There will be a review session for the final, as listed on the website calendar.

Preparation

First off, don't panic! Drink some chamomile tea, take a deep breath, and maybe even read this comic strip. Work through the labs and homeworks once again, and ask questions if anything is unclear.
