Notes During the Test:

• One 3”x5” card of notes - both sides (or the equivalent) may be used during the test. The same card must be used for both tests. Students are NOT allowed one card for the Theory Test and one for the Coding Test. That would be two cards, only one is allowed.
• The notes must be submitted with the test and will not be returned to the student.
• There will be a 50 point deduction notes of a larger size are used or if more than one card is used for the two tests.

Logistics

• Check the Assignments and Due Dates for the dates the test will be available.
• There are actually two tests: Theory and Coding. Both tests must be taken at the same sitting.
• Since some of the test items need to graded manually, test grades will not be available until after the final deadline for the test and after the instructor has graded them
• Only the grades will be available in the LMS. If more specific feedback is desired, contact your instructor for an appointment either during office hours or on the phone.

Need Help? Have Questions?

• Discussion List
  • There is a Discussion List for each test. Use this area to share ideas and answer each other's questions. Please, however, do not post AFTER you have taken the test. Sometimes I might curve the test (a little) and that could give those who take the test after you an unfair advantage.
• Student Computer Center
  • Tutors are available in the Student Computer Center (3rd floor of the Library) for those who will be on campus.
• Contact Instructor
