CPSC 219: Midterm #2 Information

Additional details will be added over time...

Date/location:

• The exam will be held during the first hour of class time during the Thursday Mar 11 lecture

Review material:

• During lecture as I cover the material I will provide suggestions of what an exam-like question may look like. You should attend class for this info and note the details as it comes up.
• Ideas for review [Online resources]

Front cover from the actual exam (so make sure you look at this beforehand...important so make sure you read them beforehand!). Notice that you need to enter your ID number on the inside cover of the examination (don't forget to to this).

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.
• Text books: can 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.
• Tutorial exercises and the tutorial handouts: I won't be directly examining you on this material (unless it overlaps with the lecture material or you hear otherwise regarding a section)

Classes that you should be familiar with:

While you are not expected to be familiar with all methods and attributes on the exam you should be able to call/trace methods of the following classes whose methods have been covered during the semester.

• Random
• Scanner
• String

Although a Java array is not a class you should also be familiar with tracing/writing code employing the length() method of the array type.
