Course Schedule Spring 2020

This schedule is subject to change. Please check back frequently.


Final Exam: 7AM CDT Friday, May 15 - 7AM CDT Saturday, May 16 on Compass

The final exam will be administered through Compass (https://compass2g.illinois.edu) on Friday, May 15th at 7AM CDT. We expect the exam to take about 3 hours, but you will have 24 hours to complete the exam, which is due at 7AM CDT on Saturday, May 16th. No late submissions will be accepted.

The exam is not collaborative. You MUST work on the exam by yourself. The exam is open-notes, open-book, and open-internet.

While the final exam is cumulative (i.e., it is fair to expect you to remember isolation), the exam is designed to evaluate the second half of class. The MP questions will be specifically for MPs 3, 4, and 5 (NOT MPs 1 and 2). Multiple choice questions will focus on material after the midterm (crypto - end of class).

While taking the exam:
  • If questions arise during the exam, please make a private post on Piazza, and the course staff will get back to you as soon as possible. We will be disabling public Piazza posts during the exam to avoid any question leakage.
  • Compass has its own session timeout, which may automatically log you out if you take breaks or pause in between questions. Unfortunately, we cannot control this timeout, so please save your answers after every question that you complete.
  • If there are class-wide exam clarifications/issues that arise during the exam period, we will post information on Piazza, so please keep a close watch on Piazza / your email.
