Exam rules
The exam will take place during the practicum on week 10 (07.-08.11). You do not need to register for the exam.
The exam consists of 2 parts: a test on paper (time up to 50 minutes) and a programming exercise. You will be given 105 minutes to complete both tasks. The test on paper must be given away before proceeding with the programming exercise.
During the test, it is forbidden to use a computer or other materials, except for one A4 size paper prepared by you with handwritten "help". It is allowed to fill both sides of the paper with anything you want (with any size you want). You need to write your name in the corner of this paper.
Once you have finished with the test, you have to proceed to the programming exercise. Obviously the programming exercise has to be solved in Python (you can use your own computer or the classroom computer). All materials (videos, examples, your solutions, example solutions, etc.), internet and paper materials are allowed while solving the programming exercise. Any communication with others (except the instructor) is prohibited.
You have to use Thonny during the exam. Thonny saves every action that is performed in Thonny. You have to present the log files together with the programs.
Before the exam, you have to turn the logging on:
- check the Thonny version (Help -> About Thonny)
- version 3.1.2 or older: Thonny automatically logs every action
- version 3.2.0 or newer:
- choose Options from menu Tools
- tick Log program usage events
- close Thonny
You can get these log files from Thonny:
- when the programs are ready, close Thonny - log files are created;
- if you have Mac, then close with cross button (not quit command)
- open Thonny again;
- choose Open Thonny data folder from menu Tools - this will open .thonny folder;
- open user_logs folder;
- log files are named by the dates when they are created - please send us all the files with the exam date.
