This semester, we will have an “Exam 0”, 3 theory exams and 3 programming exams, all in the Computer Based Testing Facility (CBTF).
Here is what you can expect:
Grading
As per the syllabus, your performance on each assessment is worth 70 points (except “Exam 0” is worth 40 points).
Time & Place
You are responsible for scheduling your own exam time. Visit https://cbtf.engr.illinois.edu/ to choose your time!
Theory exams will be 50 minutes and programing exams will be 110 minutes.
Makeup Exams
Given that each exam is offered for several days, the course policy is not to offer makeup exams. In very exceptional circumstances involving health or other emergencies, a makeup exam may be considered.
Policies
See the CBTF page for more detailed policies. Here’s a summary:
No hats, gloves, phones, water bottles, paper, or anything else we think might indicate a breach of academic integrity, will be allowed in your exam space.
Please use the restroom before the exam begins.
No questions about exam content will be answered during the exam; If you think there is a poorly specified question (or more than one), please post a private note on Piazza, and it will be handled fairly, after the exam is over.
Practice Exams
Here are the past practice exams; the practice exams were designed for semester with two 3-hour written exams and a final, so there’s not a great mapping between the new and old exams. However, the programming questions should be good practice for the electronic exams.
