Exam instructions (these are from the actual exam so you should read them beforehand)

1. Hand back all handouts (exam book, multiple choice answer sheet and Java API handouts) at the front when you are finished writing your exam.
2. This is a closed book exam: No electronic devices (e.g., cell phones must be shut off and out of sight) or computational aids (e.g., any calculators, laptops, hand held computers, slide rulers, abaci) will be allowed. This includes ‘simple’ calculators.
3. DO NOT START the exam until you are told to do so.
4. For the multiple choice questions make sure that you select the best answer to each question on the computer bubble sheets using an HB pencil or darker.
5. Make sure that you fill in the bubbles on the multiple choice answer sheet for all the labelled categories. (Neglecting to full in all the information may result in your exam getting lost or not marked so it's important not to miss anything!) Here's the info for some of the categories that students typically miss.

5. For the written questions write your answer in the space provided.
6. Unless otherwise indicated you can assume that the programs and program fragments will compile.
    

Material that you should study

• The lecture material: the PowerPoint slides will provide you with an outline of the topics to be covered. However studying the information just listed on the slides won't be sufficient to do well on the final exam. You will also need to take notes in class and to study and understand those notes. If you have any questions then make sure that you ask me for help and clarification.
• The text books: they should be used as another source of material to help you understand the material as you prepare for the exam. I won't however directly examine you on material that is listed in the textbooks that I didn't cover in class.
• Lab exercises and the lab handouts: I won't be directly examining you on this material (unless it overlaps with the lecture material).
• The exam could definitely cover topics up to and including lists.
• The exam is cumulative but the focus will be on material that was covered subsequent to the midterm (or was excluded from the midterm).

Topics that will be on the final exam

Some topics may constitute a larger part of the exam than other parts. Hierarchies (e.g., inheritance and implementation) is one of the higher weight sections. The last three sections (design and testing, design patterns, HCI) constitute the lower weight sections.
