Exam rules
The exam will be on the 14th of December and the 6th of January - please choose one date and register in SIS. The exams will be in person in the Delta building.
The exam consists of 2 parts: a test (up to 70 minutes) and three programming exercises. Three hours (180 minutes) will be given to complete both parts of the exam. The test must be finished and submitted before proceeding with the programming exercises.
During the test, it is forbidden to use any 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 (in any size you want).
Once you have finished with the test, you have to proceed with the programming exercises. Obviously, the programming exercises have to be solved in Python using Thonny. All materials (videos, examples, your solutions, example solutions, etc.), internet and paper materials are allowed to use while solving the programming exercises. Any communication with others (except the instructor) is prohibited.
You have to use Thonny during the exam (other IDEs are not allowed). Thonny saves every action that is performed in Thonny. You have to submit 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;
- 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.
