I remember when I took compsci last year, we had written tests for midterm, and make-your-own-game as final.

our test was ok, we had half a page of terminologies, and the rest programming challenges, in which the teacher gave you a task, and you have to do it, on paper.

But it really depends on your teacher though, some teacher focus on terminologies while others focus on problem solving.

For mine we had an ISU to do and than an exam which consisted of like 3 problems that we needed to do and print off, than we had tons of terminologies.

really depends on your teacher Confused

one of my teachers focused on terminology and how things work. Questions like "whats the difference between RAM and ROM?" or "what does DIMM stand for?"...

my other teacher just had multiple choice for definitions of various VB syntax and likes to ask to write really small (1~5 lines of code) programs or correct mistakes in his programs (its really funny to find more mistakes then he intentionaly put there Laughing )

so far he has not given us an ISU...the only project he as given us this year(just got last day of school) is a 5 page report and any peice of technology lmao

and we havent studied any terminology lol

basically, he teaches us something about turing...then gives us a few questions, and we got to do em, when everyone is done...we move on....he doesnt teach us anything but turing, we got VB on the comps...but nope, only turing lol

Use 1 function
no more than 5 loops
use a Complex loop
a decreasing loop
declare no more than 10 variable
use strint

Our exam...I think....I have a shitty memory was like this.

We had to spot the errors in a program printed on computer.
Definititions
Truth table (maybe)
we had to write a program on paper.
then we had like 3 programs we had to do on computer and print out.


it was pretty easy shit.
