Remember that there will be no lecture, so that you may take the exam during our normal class period, if the rest of your day is full. Friday discussion sections, however, will meet as usual.

Please see the tips for students from E-Learning Support Services, which include good advice like:

• Always save your answers
• Document your problems
• Don’t wait until the last minute

If you do encounter technical problems while taking the exam, please contact the UF Computing Help Desk (392-HELP) before contacting your TA or me.

Good luck!

Please note that the exam will be open on E-Learning from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. next Friday. We will not have lecture that day, so that you may take the exam during our normal class period, if you have no other open time on your schedule.

Also note that some students have experienced computer problems in the past that could be avoided. To minimize the chance you will have problems that affect your grade adversely, please plan either to take the exam on a campus computer or to make sure that the off-campus computer you will use is compatible with the E-Learning exam system. You can check the compatibility of your system by logging on to E-Learning and taking the practice test posted there now.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment below.

Several students have already noticed there was a formatting problem with one question, such that the correct answer was already indicated, and you are not able to select an answer. It’s an unfortunate error on our part, but the good news is that you will all receive credit for that question.

If you encounter any technical problems, please call the UF Computing Help Desk (392-HELP). You can also leave a comment here on the blog — we’ll monitor it throughout the day.

Good luck!

The final exam will be administered on E-Learning, as the first two exams were. That means that you are free to take the final exam from anywhere you have an Internet connection. But beware that some students have had technical problems with exams when using their own computers, and if you’re not in Gainesville, there will be a limit to what we can do to help you. My advice is to take the practice exam on our course’s E-Learning site on the same computer you plan to use for the final exam. If there’s a problem with your computer’s configuration, it’s better to find out now and try to deal with it ahead of time. If you detect a problem, please contact the UF Computing Help Desk (392-HELP) — the sooner, the better.

If you have any questions or concerns, leave a comment to let us know.

Update (12/4): A couple of students have asked via email about the format of the final exam. Like the previous two exams, it will consist of 60 questions, and you will have 50 minutes to complete it. The exam will be available on E-Learning from 7:00 a.m – 7:00 p.m. on December 18.

If you encounter any technical problems with the exam, please contact the UF Computing Help Desk at 392-HELP. If they are unable to solve your problem, be sure to get a ticket number from them, and then contact me directly.

Good luck!
