Final Exam: Monday March 17, 8:30-10:20AM unsolved solved
While material in all lectures (1 through 20), sections, readings, and homeworks is “fair game,” the questions will very heavily emphasize the material that was not covered on the midterm. There will not be time on the exam to test all topics. Old exams may cover different materials and are no guarantee of style/format/difficulty etc. of our exam. In particular, we did not cover usability, UI prototyping, or static nullness checking, so exam questions about them are not relevant.
Old finals:
Fall 2013 unsolved solved
Spring 2013 unsolved solved
Winter 2013 unsolved solved
Fall 2012 unsolved solved
Spring 2012 unsolved solved
