Yes there was<br /> - it was authdemo2 with a change to the questions<br /> - you really needed to get rid of the existing assign4 table<br /> - you can delete the whole database<br /> - or, you can &quot;drop table assign4;&quot;<br /> <br /> Assignment 4 didn&#039;t require so much coding, but you had to understand the code that was there<br /> - there are lots of details in authdemo2, and that is part of what I&#039;ll ask about in the final exam<br /> <br /> <br /> In what order should you do the final exam questions?<br /> - general advice: do it in three passes<br /> - first pass: answer everything you can quickly (this pass should use up<br /> at most half of your time budget)<br /> - don&#039;t look up any answers in the first pass<br /> - don&#039;t test anything either!<br /> - second pass: answer the ones that require thought<br /> - only look up things here, and only if you have time<br /> - you want to answer everything you can based on what you know first<br /> - only test answers *if you have extra time*<br /> - third pass: check your answers<br /> - here is where you really should test answers<br /> <br /> So for the midterm, you spend 1-2 minutes on each question, answer what you can then<br /> - worth spending a bit more time on a question if you can finish the answer<br /> - if you know a question will take some time, skip in pass one<br /> <br /> Then, go back and address the harder ones<br /> <br /> do NOT work on the harder questions first, that makes it likely you won&#039;t have time for the easy questions and your grade will suffer<br /> <br /> It is almost never a good idea to spend a lot of time on any one question until you&#039;ve at least looked at all the questions on an exam<br /> <br /> I will supply a validator &amp; template for the final exam<br /> There is buffer time<br /> - brightspace will make things available at 8:55 AM<br /> - submissions will close at 11:35 AM<br /> - So, extra 5 min on both ends<br /> <br /> BE SURE TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS<br /> - sometimes there are fun bits in there<br /> <br /> You only need to cite sources on the final exam if you got something from an external source<br /> <br /> For interviews, please join the lecture zoom<br /> - please stay on even if nobody is there, I may be in a breakout room<br /> - but if in doubt, send me a message on Teams<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
