CS111-2018: Final Exam Prep Guide

Our final will be on Friday, Dec 14 from 9-noon in Barus & Holley 168.

Roughly, we want to check whether you can frame data-facing questions at a high level, use code to compute answers to questions, and test or sanity check programs and their results. We also want to check whether you understand how the code constructs we used this semester work, and when to use those constructs.

What can you bring?
