The test covers the material included in the course up to the week of the test (weeks 1–10).

The test consists of a set of tasks of varying size and complexity, during which you must demonstrate your skills and knowledge to write software in C, model algorithms as UML activity diagrams, solve practical tasks and answer theoretical, knowledge based questions. The complexity of the tasks is similar to study materials and tasks solved before (lab tasks, homework, example solutions etc).

Organization

The test may only be written in the classroom, on a lab computer. The test is individual.

The set of tasks will be given to the student at the beginning of the test on one or more task sheets. Task sheets must be returned at the end of the test, with your name and student code written on each page.

During the test, questions will only be answered if they relate to understanding the content and requirements of the tasks or technical issues not related to the task itself (e.g., how to change the keyboard language).

• Use AI-based solutions

Use of prohibited external assistance will result in failing the test.

The test may be completed entirely digitally or partly on paper and partly digitally.

All digitally created files must be submitted in Moodle as files:

• Answers to theoretical questions as one .txt or .pdf file

Algorithms and answers to theoretical questions may be submitted on paper.

You may write on the task sheets.

Test time and duration

The test takes place in the lab class during the usual class time, according to the lab plan, typically on the 11th study week.
