Midterm Examination 2 2007

 

Exam for COEN 183, Thursday, March 29
Exam for COSC 125, Wednesday, March 28

Your second midterm examination will appear here.

It will be a period-long, closed book exam. COSC and COEN will have different exams.

It covers Chapters 6 - 10

Expectations:

Questions will be similar to homework questions from the book. You will be given a choice of questions, e.g., "Write on four out of five questions." I try to ask questions I think you might hear in a job interview. "I see you took a class on Operating Systems. What can you tell me about ...?"

See also Dr. Barnard's notes. He was using a different edition of our text, so chapter and section numbers do not match, but his chapter summaries are excellent.

Directions:

Read and follow the directions.

  • Write on x of the y questions. If you write more than x questions, only the first x will be graded. You do not get extra credit for doing extra problems.
  • Read the entire exam. If there is anything you do not understand about a question, please ask at once.
  • If you find a question ambiguous, begin your answer by stating clearly what interpretation of the question you intend to answer.
  • Begin your answer to each question at the top of a fresh sheet of paper. [Or -5]
  • Write only on one side of a sheet.
  • Be sure your name is on each sheet of paper you hand in. [Or -5]

Question:

Are you trained somewhere that to write in paragraphs? Yes, that is often the preferred means, but in many technical circumstances, including this exam, outlines, enumerations, bullets, and pictures may communicate more effectively. At the very least, you should answer by question parts:

  1.  
  2.  
  3.
