#### CS456/556 FINAL EXAM ####

Available  : May 5 @ 12:01AM EDT 
Due        : May 9 @ 11:59PM EDT

I have to have all grades in by noon on May 13. I cannot grant any extensions 
beyond the date above. You will have the entire finals week to take the exam. 

Exam Grade Calculation:

The Exams make up 50% of your total grade in this class. We have two exams: the 
midterm and the final. If you do better (percentagewise) on the final than on 
the midterm, then I will just use your final to calculate the exam portion of 
your grade. Otherwise, I will use both exams to make this calculation.

# Structure of the Final #

Canvas: 
	This part will be similar in format to the midterm. Pretty much anything 
	we've done this semester is fair game, so review your old quizzes and any 
	notes you took, as well as the readings you've done.    

	There will be a time limit on this section: probably 60-75 minutes. The number 
	of questions is still to be determined, but expect it to be at least as long 
	as the midterm. (Midterm had 30 questions)

	Mostly multiple choice, true-false, fill in the blank, there are a
        there are a few short answers in there too.	

Programming:
	You will be asked to write a program on the CS Server that does something, 
	and submit it via handin like you did for homework. You will take a 
	program in C and be asked to improve upon it using stuff we did in class.

Both of these parts will be worth 50% of your final exam grade. All parts of the 
final will be due on May 9 at 11:59PM. You will have all of finals week to do 
the exam.
