Final Exam:

Date/Time:

The CSE 142 Final Exam has been scheduled for Wednesday, June 6 at 10:30am (for students who attend the 9:30 lecture) and 12:30pm (for students who attend the 11:30 lecture).

PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE TIMES ARE DIFFERENT THAN THE POSTED UW FINAL EXAM SCHEDULE.

The exam will take place in KANE 120--NOT THE USUAL 142 CLASSROOMS.

Any student with an exam conflict at one of these times may take their exam at the other time.

Example: If you are a student attending the 9:30 lecture but you have another final exam scheduled for 10:30 on Wednesday, June 6, you can take the CSE 142 exam at 12:30.

Sample Exams:

  • These are sample final exams from previous offerings of the course. The actual final will have some similarities, but also some differences.

  • The following topics are guaranteed NOT to be tested on the midterm in any form:
    • exceptions
    • break statement
    • DrawingPanel, Graphics, Color
    • the Java assert statement
    • multi-dimensional arrays
    • interfaces (beyond the Critter interface from Homework 8)

  • You must show your UW Student ID card to a TA or the instructor for your submitted exam to be accepted.
  • The exam is open-book/notes. You must work alone and may not use any computing devices of any kind including calculators. Cell phones, music players, and other electronic devices may NOT be out during the exam for any reason.
  • Your code you write will be graded purely on external correctness (proper behavior and output) and not on internal correctness (style).
  • You don't need to write any import statements in your exam code.
  • Do not abbreviate any code on your exam, such as writing S.o.p for System.out.println.
  • Please be quiet during the exam. If you have a question or need, please raise your hand.
  • Corrections or clarifications to the exam will be written at the front of the room.
  • If you violate the University Code of Conduct during the exam, you may receive a 0% for the exam and possibly further punishment.
