Mar 30 - The midterm exam will be a take-at-home exam that I will hand out in class on Wednesday, 4-6-22. You will turn it back in to me at the beginning of your class period on Friday, 4-8-22. There is NO Programming portion, it is all written. You will also need to create a UML diagram (either using a drawing package, or a NEATLY hand-drawn diagram). The exam will be open notes and you can use any resource on the CS320 website, as well as your assignment and lab solutions. The exam is 120 points, and was originally designed to be an in-class 50-minute exam, with a built-in curve of 20 points. Since this is now a take home exam, there is no practice exam posted, nor will there be a review for the exam. Taking the exam at home IS the review. YOU MUST DO YOUR OWN WORK - YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CONSULT WITH ANYONE ELSE, OR USE ANY RESOURCES THAT ARE NOT LISTED ON THE RESOURCES PAGE OF THE CS320 WEBSITE. I AM TRUSTING YOU TO WORK ON YOUR HONOR - PLEASE DO NOT BETRAY THAT TRUST.
