In-Person Exam

Unless you have pre-arranged accommodations, the main (first) attempt of the exam will be as follows:

• Modality: The exam will be conducted synchronously in-person using the quiz feature on Canvas. It will not use Lockdown Browser.

• Timing: The exam will automatically unlock and lock at the start and end times of your enrolled lecture section. If you start the exam on-time, you have the entire class time of 1 hour and 45 minutes to complete the exam.

• Questions: The exam questions will consist of multiple choice, multiple answer, dropdown, and fill-in-the blank questions. The specific questions, order you see questions, and possible answers may be randomized.

  </aside>

• Resources: The exam must be completed individually; the answers must represent your individual understanding of the course concepts. The exam is otherwise open-book open-note. You may reference lecture material, your personal notes and code, and Java documentation, as well as run code in jshell or Eclipse.

  <aside> <img src="/icons/warning_gray.svg" alt="/icons/warning_gray.svg" width="40px" /> Asking anyone else to complete the exam on your behalf, as well as copying answers from an exam bank or ChatGPT, are all examples of misrepresenting who completed the exam. See the Exam Grading guide for details on cheating consequences.

See the “Accommodations” section below for how to request changes to these logistics.

Asynchronous Retake

Unless you have pre-arranged accommodations, the retake attempt(s) of the exam will be as follows:

• Modality: The retake will be conducted asynchronously using the quiz feature on Canvas. It will not use Lockdown Browser.
• Timing: The retake will automatically unlock the next lecture day after the main attempt and remain available for at least 1 week. The retake will still be limited to 1 hour and 45 minutes per attempt.
• Attempts: The retake may be completed only once before the deadline, unless 1 or more tokens are used. The average from these attempts will be calculated automatically.
• Questions: The retake questions will be the same as the main attempt. However, due to the randomization used, students may see slightly different variants and ordering of these questions on their retake attempts.
