General Information on Exams

See the course syllabus for important information on exams. Here are some more general notes on exams:

In order to take an exam, you must have a picture id (like a driver's license or passport) and your ACC id (or fee receipt). You also need a couple of writing utensils (preferably pencils).
All exam questions require written answers. There are no multiple-choice or matching questions on the exams. Most questions will require you to write C++ code.
I allow students to use up to 3 pages of notes when taking an exam. You must use pages that are 8.5 X 11 inches or smaller. Pages can be hand-written, printed on a printer, photo-copied, etc. You can write/print on both sides of the page if you like. (See the course syllabus and the ACC Testing Center web pages for more information on notes.) The testing center will take your notes and send them to me with your exam and answers. If you want to keep a copy of your notes, make the copy before you take the exam.
Each exam is intended to take about one to one and a half hours to complete. Some students may take longer to complete the exams.
Once you start an exam, you cannot leave the Testing Center until you complete the exam.
During busy times of the semester, there may be a line at the Testing Center waiting for room to take an exam. I have heard of students waiting an hour or more before they were able to start their exam. Don't wait until the last minute!

I recommend that everyone use the official textbook for this course, Starting Out with C++ Early Objects 5th Edition by Tony Gaddis, Judy Walters, and Godfrey Muganda. The previous edition, Starting Out with C++ Alternate Version 4th Edition is very similar.
