Question

How did y'all feel about the second exam?

Answer 1

I focused a lot on the written portion in my studying. I thought there was going to be a lot on the design patterns and UML. There ended up being a lot more question on compiling and compiling errors than I thought there would be so that part took up a lot of time. I spent about 7 or 8 hours total studying for the coding portion, and I was feeling pretty confident, but I ended up not doing very well on most of the coding questions. So I spent a lot more time studying for this exam compared to the last exam, maybe 15 or 16 hours total over the course of a few days, but ended up doing significantly worse. RIP

In addition, I think my performance was lower than it was in the last exam.

Answer 2

Definitely less optimistic about this exam than the previous one lol.

Answer 3

Although I studied pretty hard for this exam, I definitely think I could have studied other concepts more thouroughly. I had thought that I was prepared enough but after the exam Im not so sure.

Answer 4

Honestly, I was somewhat surprised. The emphasis was on aspects that weren't my primary focus, and time was not on my side because I did not manage my time right haha.

Answer 5

I believe it was too time-consuming for me, so I was unable to solve all of the problems. Also, I made a big error by not committing after I finished the third assignment and began working on the last task, which is why my DrawingApp isn't working properly.

Answer 6

I could have done a better job with time management. I spend a lot of time in the written part and couldn't complete the coding part.

Answer 7

The exam was definitely long. I think you could only finish the coding part if you had some good practice of the code previous to the exam. Also, you probably needed to be right on the first shot cause there really was not much time to think about solving the problem and fixing the bugs and thinking through. Probably a more desirable trait when we would compare it to the real world scenario.

Answer 8

I actually feel pretty good about it! I was very stressed leading up to the exam but I studied a lot and did all the practice coding tasks before the exam and was almost able to finish everything on the coding portion. I'm very happy that my preparation paid off; I certainly don't think I would have done as well (especially on the coding portion) without having prepared. Nonetheless, coding with a time restriction is stressful and I was scrambling to try to get my code working at the end.

Answer 9

Honestly, I don't feel good about the second exam.

Answer 10

I thought the coding part was challenging. Definitely should have prepared more.

Answer 11

i missed the last coding part but i'd say it was decent

Answer 12

Didn't get to finish the coding part, definitely feel better about the first exam than this one.

Answer 13

got done with the coding part so im happy. i dont know about the written part though lol
