Exam tips

    Exam time is coming up. Since CSC148 is a drastically different course from any others, studying techniques are also drastically different for it. It isn't enough to just memorize everything, if at all useful, but to have a deep understanding of how certain programming techniques work. An effective strategy for any course would be to look at the past exams, but even that might not work too well for computer science since even the curriculum is very dynamic from one year to another. In my opinion, the best way to study for a computer science exam is to do the assignments over again as efficient as possible. This will make you think of how to use things that were learned during the year. Also, I find reviewing the labs to be really helpful because it might be a completely different experience doing the labs by yourself compared to doing it in a group. If possible, challenge yourself by trying to get your programs correct the first few times (for labs and exercises that is) because obviously you will not have a computer to test stuff on during the exam. Those were my exam tips and I hope they help out whoever reads them.
