Microquiz 3 Results (update on Q3)

There was some confusion with regards to grading Microquiz 3, Question 3, and we apologize for this. We've updated your scores to reflect the correct answer to that question (None of the above).

Final Quiz Announcement

----------------------------
Notable changes from previous quizzes
* Starts at 3:40pm
* Cannot be dropped
* You are allowed two sheets of paper for aid (front and back, typed ok)
* We have added some sample final quiz programming questions (and solutions) to the Dec 2 Lecture on the calendar
----------------------------
Notes:
* Wednesday Dec 4, during lecture time from 3:40pm to 4:25pm in room 26-100
* Bring a charged laptop; the microquiz will be online on MITx. Make sure you can access this site.
* The microquiz will cover material from Lectures 1-11.
* You can have two sheets of paper (double sided ok, typed ok). Otherwise, no online materials, computer code, etc are allowed. During the microquiz you are only allowed to be on the microquiz page on MITx and using an IDE of your choice looking at new code.
* If you do not have a working laptop, you can borrow one from a friend for the lecture time. You do not need certificates to log into your MITx account.
* If you have already given me your accommodations letter, you will receive an email within a day with specific details.
----------------------------
Instructions During the Exam:
* Pages and graders may take up to a minute to load. Let a proctor know if you are having trouble.
* You may use Spyder (or another IDE) to write/debug new code. You must use MITx to submit.
* You are not allowed to leave early.
* If you finish early, stay on the MITx exam website or close your computer. No cellphone use is allowed. You may bring a book or some non-electronic material to keep you busy.
* Anyone using electronic material not allowed (whether they are finished the exam or not) will receive a zero on the microquiz.
* If you are borrowing a laptop, make sure that you see your kerberos id in the top right corner. If you are logged in as someone else, open an incognito window in Chrome, and log in to mitx using your kerberos login rather than the certificates on the machine you are using.
* The quiz will be some multiple choice and some programming questions.
- Multiple choice questions give no indication of corrcet/incorrect.
- For programming questions, you will only see one or two test cases. Click "See full output" to see the test cases, the correct output, and your output. The test cases are minimal. They are there to avoid copy/paste errors from your IDE to MITx.
- The score will be based on how it performs on the test cases WE use after the exam ends. Your code will be automatically graded.
- We only grade your last submission. If your code doesn't run, you will get a zero, so make sure to run your last submission on MITx.
- You only get 10 tries to submit code.
