Quizzes

There will be three equally-weighted quizzes during the semester, each worth 8% of your final grade.

The quizzes will be done in paper/pencil format in the Wednesday CSCI 330 lab sessions.

You will generally have 50 minutes to complete the quiz once you begin, closed book, closed notes.

As with all work this term, quizzes and exams are individual exercises, all work submitted is expected to be your own.

You must work individually and are not permitted to communicate with anyone other than the instructor during the quiz, nor to discuss the quiz content with students in the other lab sections until all lab sections have completed and submitted the quiz.

The use of AI tools is not permitted.

  • quiz 1 (in lab Feb 5)

  • quiz 2 (in lab Feb 26)

  • quiz 3 (in lab Mar 26)

    Final exam:

    The final exam will be an in-person (paper/pencil) exam held during the scheduled VIU exam period: (time and date t.b.a.), and worth 25% of your overall grade.

    The final exam will be a comprehensive 3-hour exam with a mix of theory and applied questions, and can draw from any part of the course (lectures, labs, quizzes). The final is likely to place slightly greater emphasis on the latter half of the course, but to include questions that relate that content back to material from the first half of the course.

    A review/prep session for the final exam will be held during the final course lecture (Wed. Apr 9).
