CS4414: Exams

Grading in CS4414 is 50% based on exams and 50% based on programming assignments. 

We will have two evening exams, one on September 26 and one on December 5.   Here are some study materials (the exams and solutions used in 2021).

Each exam is cummulative from lecture 1 onwards, and is created to require no more than 75m.  But to avoid time pressure we allow anyone who needs extra time to stay for as much as 2 1/2 hours (2x the time).  You do not need to make any special request to stay longer -- you just stay as long as you feel you need.  The prelims are scheduled on:

Prelim 1:      7:30pm         9/26/2024    OLH155, OLH165, OLH255
Prelim 2:      7:30pm         12/5/2024    OLH155, OLH255
Please note that the final is (1) Optional.  We will tell you your tentative letter grade after prelim2.  This grade
is guaranteed: if you want to skip the final, the tenative grade is what you will get.  (2) Not offered to anyone with
a tentative grade of A or A+.  This is to avoid extra work: we have a limited TA pool and we don't raise A grades to
A+ on the basis of the final, so there wouldn't be any point in taking it if you are already getting an A or A+.

Final:		  2pm		    12/13/2024    TBA
