Exam 1 Details

In class, Thursday, July 7 at 11:00 AM


Solutions to this exam can be found here.

This exam will cover everything up through last Tuesday, which is to say everything up to and including searching. You will have the entire class period to finish the exam (an hour and fifteen minutes). You will be allowed no calculator or book, but can bring a single 3" x 5" index card, upon which you may write anything that you so desire. This card will be turned in with your exam.

The exam will focus primarily upon the material covered in class. Not everything we've done in class has been in the online notes (e.g. radix sort), so if you missed any days, be sure to get the notes from someone. To study, you may find it helpful to skim over your notes and the online notes. What will be even more useful is to do problems. There is a slew of practice problems in the online notes, along with corresponding answers. (These are listed in the "Test Yourself" sections.) I encourage you to do those. Also, here are a few more that cover things not in the notes:

You should also be sure you know everything covered in assignments. You can use these (and your notes) to create practice problems for yourself. Trade questions you make up with partners if that helps you. And, as always, feel free to come in and ask me questions.
