Test on Turing, Ch. 6 next Friday, Dec. 19

There will be a test on Turing, Ch. 6 next Friday, Dec. 19.

It is not intended to be challenging. There will be plenty of simple, straightforward
questions to be answered on paper, enough of them so that anyone who has studied the notes can earn a good overall mark on the test. Some of the questions will even be True or False! How easy is that?

Whether you find writing programs in Turing easy or hard, you do of course have to learn what is in your notes. That's obvious, right? It's not many pages to study. Check your answers against the .pdf file in the Pickup Folder.




Also on the test, in addition to the questions answered on paper, will be a few questions requiring you to write short programs in Turing. At least two of them are meant to be easy. They will simply ask you to write something like the programs in
-- the content of the chapter, or
-- the "Practice Exercises" in the Pickup Folder, or
-- the easier questions at the back of the chapter.

By the way, we will look at the questions at the end of the chapter in class next week and you will be give model solutions for all of them.

There will probably be one programming question a little more challenging, just so some people don't get completely bored.



DO NOT BE ABSENT. Yes, Friday is the last day before the holidays, but the class did not want the test on Wednesday, so it was postponed until Friday.
