Final exam: 10:15 Tuesday

Our final exam is schedule from 10:15 Tuesday until noon. It will be in our regular classroom.

You can expect something roughly like the midterm in terms of approach. Instead of one question, expect 3-5 somewhat shorter questions (with shorter answers). Material that may be covered includes the two papers we read, plus anything we discussed in class.

You can bring any kind of reference material you want to the exam --- books, notes, whatever, in printed or electronic form. The only thing off limits is web searches.

You may take the exam entirely on paper (bring some paper to write on, and something to write with), or you may type your answer on a laptop computer.

If you use a computer, I prefer a plain text file. (If it is significantly faster for you to use a word processor, go ahead, but produce a PDF for me as well as the original word processor file.) The name of the file you produce should be your family name followed by the class number. For example, if I were taking the exam, I would turn in a file called "YoungCIS422.txt".

I will try to remember to bring one or more USB keys to gather electronic copies of exams. In case I forget, it wouldn't be a bad idea if you had one handy too.
