Final Exam logistics
Exam location: Online (You are free to take the exam anywhere you wish.)
Exam time and date: 5/10 7:45 AM
Exam course grade weight: 10%
Exam length:
without accommodations: 110 minutes
for SSD students who need double the time: 110*2+10 minutes, closing at 11:35 AM
for all other students: 110+10 minutes, closing at 9:45 AM
Note: This length includes 10 minutes extra for unexpected network or computer issues. Remember, this is a test and not homework. In other words, you should be able to answer questions and move on quickly. Unless you are facing extraordinary circumstances, we do not foresee extending this time for anyone.
Exam open-book format: You can refer to any course material (for this semester) and Wikipedia during the exam. However, referring to any other source is not allowed and violates the Honor Code. Both regular calculators and online calculators are allowed. You can also use your boards to debug programs during the exam. You might want to download and open the technical documents needed for the exam.
Questions or concerns during the exam: If anything seems to be unclear, write any assumptions that are needed and continue with the exam If the question does not have a space for you to add your assumptions, send a private piazza message to the instructors with your assumptions.
Vigilance during the exam: Keep an eye on your Piazza Announcement for possible corrections or clarifications for the questions during the exam. Make sure you have your Piazza setting such that it sends you a notification or email when an announcement is posted on Piazza. If you get a notification on Piazza after you have submitted your exam, we will work together later to resolve the issue.
Honor Code: This is a free country. Nevertheless, discussing course material during the period of the exam will constitute a violation of the Honor Code policy in this class. Even simple questions such as "Which module covered i/o pin configurations?" are a violation.
You will be asked to sign the following statement as part of the exam.
On my honor, I will neither give nor receive unauthorized assistance from/to anyone in any form on this examination. More broadly, I will not discuss any course or exam material until noon on 5/10 with anyone, in or outside our class community.
Covered material:
60% of the exam will be on HW 10-11 and modules 32-40
40% of the exam will cover some of the topics from modules 1-31. A list of other topics from earlier modules will be given closer to the end of the semester.
Exam conflicts: Final exam conflicts have to go through the official route of submitting a university form.
