CSCI 141 Midterm Exam Guidelines

You may take the exam on your own computer (make sure you have Thonny installed) or on a lab computer. The exam is due at the end of class; submission will close irrevocably after a 5 minute grace period.

Start with the template code provided at the bottom of the page.

You will submit your program to Canvas. Test frequently and submit often: you can resubmit any number of times and your latest submission will be graded.

Credit is awarded for each working task, so be sure to complete as much as possible and make sure the code you submit runs without errors, even if all tasks are not complete. Code that throws an error will not receive credit for any working parts.

You are allowed:

• To write, test, and debug your code in Thonny (no other IDEs are allowed)

• Access to the course webpage and anything linked from it

• Access to any code you’ve authored for this course

• “Read-only” use of the web:

  • OK: Internet access for Python documentation (including unofficial sources) is OK
  • OK: Searching and reading webpages
  • Not OK: use of code completion tools or code generation tools is strictly prohibited.
  • Not OK: typing or pasting anything into a webpage (aside from search engine queries)
  • Not OK: copy/pasting anything from a webpage (exception: you may copy/paste the template code from this page)
  • Not OK: communicating with anyone except the proctor or me during the exam.

Do not discuss this exam with anyone until the start of class on Monday, 2/13.
