Final Exam Review

The exam is a written test. It is closed-book, closed notes. Computers will not be used.

The format is very similar to the 12-week exam. Most questions are multiple choice, matching, or short answer.

You have 3 hours for the test. Most people will probably finish in closer to one hour.

The goal of the exam is to test your knowledge of Object Oriented Programming, not just Java programming. The best questions will revolve around OOP. There will be only a few basic questions about Java or programming in general that do not.

The test is comprehensive. It will include questions from every lecture except the following:

Class21 Ethics Prep
Class22 Ethics
Class27 Graphics
Class28 Graphics Programming Exercise

The test specifically covers information presented in the lectures on Class days (Mon & Wed). There is no new material presented on the Lab or Project pages for which you are responsible.

The best ways to prep for this exam are:

Read through the lecture notes for each Class day (Mon & Wed)
Review your 6 & 12-week exams.
Review your 12-week exam again. This exam covered the meat of the OOP information. You will see many similar problems on the final, especially the ones that lots of people got wrong. If you had a problem with any part of this exam, make sure that you understand it for the final.
Review the notes (linked here) that I recommended for the 12-week exam, including the keyword reference on Wikipedia.
Review the additional notes shows below, which cover concepts from outside the 12-week exam
