Exam Rules - A.Y. 2006/2007
Exam dates
The date and location of each exam is announced on the
RIS System.
You have to register for the exam at latest three days in advance.
According to the exam regulations of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, you
will not be allowed to take the exam without being registered.
Examination modalities
The exam is divided into two parts:
- a lab exam, in which the student has to write, compile, and
execute on a PC a simple Java program according to a given specification;
- a written part, in which the student has to write (on paper) a
Java program according to a given specification.
During the written part it will not be possible to consult any kind of
material or to use pocket calculators or palm PCs. During the lab exam it will
only be possible to consult the online Java API documentation. Moreover, it
will not be possible to leave the exam room before the end of the exam.
Students will have the possibility to discuss the grading during office hours.
All general exam regulations of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano apply.
Lab exam
Notes about the lab exam:
- The lab exam is an integral part of the Introduction to Programming exam,
and its primary purpose is to assess your ability to write, compile, and
execute a Java program using an integrated development environment.
- In general, the lab exam is held the same day as the written exam (either
before or afterwards, depending on the availability of a computer room).
- You have to take the lab exam together with the written part. This means
that, if you did not pass the written part, you have to repeat also the lab
exam, and vice-versa.
- The previous rule applies for all students, except for those that have
passed the midterm lab exam. The midterm lab exam is valid for all
three exam sessions of the current academic year, and students that have
passed it have to take just the written part of the exam.
- For the midterm lab exam only, a bonus point will be given
if all exercises are solved correctly. The bonus point will not be
assigned for the regular lab exams.
Rules for the lab exam:
- You should bring an ID card with photo (Campus Card, personal ID, driving
license, etc.) to prove your identity.
- You are not allowed to consult notes, books, or online documentation,
except for the Java API documentation, which will be available on the lab
machines.
- You should develop the Java class and the client program in all their
parts, respecting the given specification.
- For a positive evaluation of the lab exam:
- The Java class in Part 1 should compile and the provided test client
program should run correctly with the class.
- The class should be developed according to the methodological
guidelines studied in the course (e.g., instance variables should be
declared
private
and access should be provided through
suitable get
and set
methods).
