Abstract
-
Many computer science courses use final exams as one means of evaluating student performance within the course, but developing meaningful assessments can be both difficult and time-consuming. Students and faculty alike can experience both stress and frustration with various aspects of the exam process. By stepping back and evaluating the overall goals of computer science courses and the curriculum, some questions arise as viable options for final exams in a variety of computer science courses. These questions enable students to consider prior courses, projects or presentations within the course, future use of the material, or handle what may be perceived as incomplete coverage in the final exam. Some potential concerns about these questions are addressed. While these questions will not replace all of the traditional questions, they may provide different types of assessment information, and enable reflection for both students and faculty.
