1.7 Oral Final

Schedule Your Oral Final

The oral final will consist of a one-on-one, 20 to 30-minute discussion which will assess your knowledge of programming concepts. The exam will either take place in a meeting room in iTEC at the NTC Wausau campus or as a remote video call via Slack. Dress professionally (business casual or better), arrive five minutes before your scheduled appointment. If you attend online, notify me via a Slack Direct Message when you are ready. Contact me in your f-channel with alternate arrangements if needed.

You may use any means of researching/preparing for this exam, including discussing it with your classmates. Study groups are welcome and supported.

You can bring one sheet of notes with you to the final, but since the final is intended to measure your understanding of concepts rather than memorization, you may find that notes are not needed. Often, preparing notes is more valuable than the notes themselves.
