Homework

Notes on procedure:

• Review questions at end of chapter, and review questions at end of chapter in other Java books
• Based on questions, build a rubric of what kinds of questions test what kind of skills
• Write some of your own questions
• Divide the questions based on the kinds of skills they teach (simpler, more complex)
• Create two question pools: quiz question pool, exam question pool

Question types

• Homeworks are rote written questions taking the same form always
• Exams and quizzes can be matching, more interesting

Inheritance and Interfaces

• Homework?

ArrayList

• Homework?

Java Collections Framework

• Homework?

Recursion

• Homework?

Searching and Sorting

• Homework?

Stacks and Queues

• Homework?

Implementing a Collection Class

Quizzes

Procedure:

• Review problems in quiz question pool
• Quizzes have easier problems, more syntax, less abstraction, more mechanical, less wordy
• Create quizzes

Quiz 1

Quiz 2

Quiz 3

Quiz 4

Exams

Procedure:

• Review problems in exam question pool
• Exams have more abstract, more complex, more involved problems, less rote, more critical thinking
• Create exams

Exam A

• Create exam pool of questions
• Exam A draft 1
• Exam A draft 2

Exam B

• Create exam pool of questions
• Exam B draft 1
• Exam B draft 2
