==Homework==
==Homework==


Notes on procedure:
Homework assignment notes:
* Review questions at end of chapter, and review questions at end of chapter in other Java books
* HW questions will consist of end-of-chapter problems
* Based on questions, build a rubric of what kinds of questions test what kind of skills
* Students will also do one project type problem, a take-home problem, in-class worksheet, time in class to work on it and get guidance/hints
* Write some of your own questions
* Order: figure out the HW questions first, then align the quiz and exam question pools with the HW problems
* Divide the questions based on the kinds of skills they teach (simpler, more complex)
 
* Create two question pools: quiz question pool, exam question pool
<s>Midterm A
* Chapter 1 HW -  [[CSC_142/Chapter_1#Chapter_1_Homework]]
* Chapter 2 HW -  [[CSC_142/Chapter_2#Chapter_2_Homework]]
* Chapter 3 HW - [[CSC_142/Chapter_3#Chapter_3_Homework]]
* Chapter 4 HW - [[CSC_142/Chapter_4#Chapter_4_Homework]]</s>
 
<s>Midterm B
* Chapter 5 HW - [[CSC_142/Chapter_5#Chapter_5_Homework]]
* Chapter 6 HW - [[CSC_142/Chapter_6#Chapter_6_Homework]]
* Chapter 7 HW - [[CSC_142/Chapter_7#Chapter_7_Homework]]
* Chapter 8 HW - [[CSC_142/Chapter_8#Chapter_8_Homework]]</s>
 
==Quizzes and Exams==
 
Quiz questions are less in-depth, more mechanics and syntax. Quiz questions will come out of the question pool. Working through question pool for first 4 weeks now.
 
Exam questions are less rote, focus more on critical thinking, algorithms, program design, and pattern-finding. Exam questions will come from question pool.
 
(Fewer exam questions than quiz questions per pool, of course.)
 
<s>Question Pool Week 1 - Chapter 1
* Quiz questions - 10 total
* Exam questions - 5 total</s>
 
<s>Question Pool Week 2 - Chapter 2
