Exams

There is no midterm exam. Information about the final exam (which counts for 30% of the final grade) is given below.

  • We will use Examplify for the final exam.
  • The exam is closed-book (i.e., secure exam).
  • However, the course textbook (pdf version) and UML reference sheet will be made available to you via the exam attachment.
  • Permitted materials:
    1 A4 sized cheat sheet.
    NUS-approved calculator.

Exam structure

The exam duration is 90 minutes.

The final exam has two types of questions:

  1. MCQ questions - includes True/False like concept questions and some multiple choice/response questions
  2. Short-answer questions

  • All questions will be displayed at once as Examplify doesn't allow creating sections
  • Based on the question you are answering, you need to manage your time appropriately
  • Weightage of the questions will be displayed to help you with time management

Exam briefing, mock exam, practice exam paper

  • There will be an exam briefing in the penultimate lecture that covers Examplify usage.
  • Please watch the Examplify briefing video here
  • Examplify briefing slides; look for In-Person Assessment
  • You will be given a practice exam paper (smaller than the full paper) to help you practice timing. That practice paper will be released at least one week before the exam.
