Final
James Madison University, Fall 2017 Semester
The final exam will consist of the same two parts (written and coding), and you will have 120 minutes to complete them both. You may allocate as much time as you like to either portion, but you must complete the written exam first. You are encouraged to study all previous activities and labs, textbook chapters and reading quizzes, and programming assignments. Work through the following sample exams. The solutions will NOT be posted. Note: in Autolab - no hints will be given only scores for the coding exam.
