Python Quiz - Monday Oct 26th at 10:00am in LH 3

• Python Quiz, open book, open notes, in class, one hour, Ch. 1-4, then lecture on ch. 5. No computers

• All students will take this, including students following the intermediate syllabus who will have some extra questions.

How to prepare

• Put your portfolio in order. Look at your Cubbies (lab and hw). Are you missing labs or homeworks? Try to catch up this weekend BEFORE the quiz, and put them into the Cubbie. Read or re-read comments from the lab aids on your programs. Go to the help session Friday Week 4 . 12-2 in the CAL for a review. Organize the pre-labs into a binder (in preparation for end of quarter); you need NOT hand this in now. Make sure you understand all the assigned prelabs, labs, and homework.

• Review pre-labs and labs for chapters 1-4; look at the learning objectives. Note: string formatting will not be on the quiz.

• Practice tracing 2-3 programs. Write down all the variables, show how they change as the program goes thru a loop.

• Practice testing programs. Take 1-2 of your hw or lab programs and make sure you understand how to devise 2-3 test cases for them. You can also sprinkle print statements throughout your program(s) to do this.

• Reading programs. What does a given program do? See the sample program collection given in the lecture notes or Judy's solutions to some hws and labs in Handouts on the fileshare, and see if you can figure out from that what the program does and how it does it.
