Midterm Evaluation


Thursday, 14th October 1999 during class 2:30 - 4:00 is the date for the Mid Term Exam. THIS EXAMINATION IS WORTH 20% OF COURSE GRADE.

It will only test the FORTRAN segment of the course. The exam covers Chapters 1 to 8 of the FORTRAN 90, C, and Algorithms text. Good preparation for this exam would be to do the first eight chapters of the computerized course quiz. The later chapters contain material very similar to the mid term test. To execute test obtain the PC version of CAN and run on the HP Vectra. This is in directory CANPC. Type TESTME and follow instructions. For the FORTRAN quizzes, set CAPS LOCK on.



Final Examination


Final examination is worth 50% of course grade. This will test all aspects of the course. It will consist of 15 multiple choice questions and 2-3 programs to be written one in FORTRAN and one in "C".
