The final exams are graded. Due to time constraints, I counted the best three of four programs towards your final score. Also, there was one question on the sorts and searches page that I tossed since everyone missed it.
I strongly suggest that each student develop a C++ solution to the following problems in preparation for the coding portion of the first exam. While I do not promise that the practical part of the exam will be *exactly* the same as any one of these problems, the actual test question will at least be very similar to one or more of these practice problems.
Your final exam is scheduled in class for December 19th. Keep an eye on the blog for test preparation suggestions. Programming problems on exams are often very similar to the end of chapter exercises.
As of dinner time last night, connectivity was restored to campus. The IT staff continues to monitor the situation any signs of instability or trouble and Brookdale email seems to be working just fine now.
For those who came to class and took the second exam, the tests are graded and five students earned full credit.
I strongly suggest that each student develop a C++ solution to the this second set of practice problems in preparation for the coding portion of the second exam. While I do not promise that the practical part of the exam will be *exactly* the same as any one of these problems, the actual test question will at least be very similar to one or more of these practice problems.

Your second exam, on chapters 5 through 7 of the textbook, is scheduled for next Tuesday, November 22nd. Keep an eye on the blog this week for test preparation suggestions. Programming problems on exams are often very similar to the end of chapter exercises.
I have finished grading the first exam. Several students did very well prior to the application of the curve. Several students did not. The five no-shows (Fs in the table) must see me in order to make arrangements for make up exams.
These are solutions to the programming problems from this week's exam. Please note that the methods presented are not the only way to solve the problems assigned. If you used a different approach and your code generated a valid answer, you could still earn full credit.
I am still in the process of grading the exams from Monday night. In the meanwhile, you might like to review the following solutions to the short answer section of the exam. I am planning to also post some source code solutions to the programming problems presented on the test.

I reviewed Monday's pretest answers today. Looking at only the first page, the seven multiple choice questions, the class average was 51.6%. Three students tied for the highest score of 71.4%. All other scores were below 60%
These are the solutions to the last two programming problems at the end of Monday night's pretest.
Quite a few students seemed to have difficulty with the questions requiring code to be written, whether on paper or in the computer. Instead of responding to each student individually, I am providing the source code solutions to the last four problems on the pretest. Questions 8 and 9 are solved here and questions 10 and 11 are in the next post.
Your first exam, on chapters 1 through 5 of the textbook, is scheduled on Monday. Keep an eye on the blog this week for test preparation suggestions. Programming problems on exams are often very similar to the end of chapter exercises.
Final grades for this class will be determined according to the following criteria:
