CSC 222 Weekly Assignments: Week 9

CSC 222


Overview

This week it's all about getting ready for the CPE! Six of you have signed up to test on Monday. A few others expressed interest in testing later in the week. We'll have another practice test for those needing to practice more before sitting for the certification.

Friday, October 25th

Classwork / Homework

15 of you have already earned CPE certification, with 16 more to go.

I've added the CPE grade to the grade book in Synergy, so those of you who have taken it already can see your quarter 1 grades pending a retake.

The CPE exam will be scored using the following scale:

  • A: 70% or higher
  • B: 65% to 69%
  • C: 60% to 64%
  • D: 55% to 59%
  • E: below 55%

Anyone who hasn't taken the test by now will not be able to retake before the end of the quarter, but I do have the previously promised 14 question CPE Practice test that you can take to improve your score on the last CPE Practice test you took. I'll have that available in class today for those who will be taking the certification exam next week.

Classwork / Homework

After discussion in class on Monday, I decided that focusing on the OpenEDG curriculum will be more beneficial for those of you preparing for the CPE certification than another in class practice test would be, so I won't give the one I was planning to give.

Instead, those of you not taking the CPE today should continue with serious, focused preparation for it.

For those of you who have earned your CPE certification, I have a programming assignment for you.

Write a program that prompts the user to enter a sequence of integers on the command line, with each integer seperated by a space. Your program should then print out the numbers entered forwards and backwards.

Here is a sample run of the program:

Enter a sequence of numbers, separated by spaces and terminated with Enter:
1 11 42 8 2 29 12 7

Your numbers were:
1 11 42 8 2 29 12 7

Your numbers backwards are:
7 12 29 2 8 42 11 1

I'll want all of you working on this assignment to sit at one of the three tables in the front of the room. That means Alex H, Eleanor, Brendan, Jake and Toby in period 1B and Jack, Gabe C, Alex E and Brayden in 4B.

Classwork / Homework

Six of your classmates will be taking the CPE certification exam today. Let's see how they do and what they say before I give you another 14 question evaluation on Wednesday.
