Tests will be a combination of multiple-choice questions, as well as a hands-on component administered during your regularly scheduled 50 minute lab time during the week the test is scheduled.

The hands-on component of the tests will consist of two programs or program segments to be written during that 50 minute session. These programs will likely be pass/fail. During these tests keystrokes/process monitoring software may be used to record session activity for those taking the test. Additionally if your account shows a login during the test time from more than a single terminal, that is grounds for failing the course and having your account disabled.

Tests are fairly predictable, though questions are changed slightly each time to make sure you understand the material. See old tests, which include semesters where Java was covered as well as semesters where only C/C++ were covered..
