How was the exam?

Hi GUys

Just wrote the exam, and it was OK. I"m excited that i didn't fail(that's me looking on the bright side), because i think it was a very fair paper and i answered all the questions except the database question. But all in all, i think it was a worth it exam.

Hello,

I also found it alright. Much better than the C++ exam 2 weeks ago.
Just was very tired of all the writing afterwards.
It's not nice to answer the "same" question 3 times and to rewrite the code every time!
The last question about classes and objects was expected, but I didn't spend much time on theory, so I'll probably get 5/10 or less for that one.

Hi,

I agree, this exam was MUCH MUCH better than COS211 ... that was a nightmare !!! I cant imagine not passing this one. The code questions was all simple and I actually imagine that it would be worse ... and if you could remember all the methods ... half of them where used in the code they provided. The last question I wont do too good at since I didnt spend a lost of time on that chapter...

But all in all, i really wasnt a bad exam.

It was looooooooong! It was when I was writing more unnecessary words ("procedure", "begin", "end", "do", etc) that I realised one of the strong points of Python: you spend less time figuring out the language and more time actually implementing the algorithm (think about it: are all those words REALLY ABSOLUTELY necessary?). My wrist was tired from all that writing, erasing, and sharpening (it took me an incredible 2 hours 10 minutes to finish). Of course, for sheer, unadulterated useless pointlessness nothing beats EZWin... I'm sure I did great, but I never even bothered with databases.

Yeah, what I said above...

i should have studied for this exam... oops
