Topics Covered: Game Design & Development and Python Programming

Weighting: 40%

Instructions:

The final exams will be delivered entirely online through Study Smart and IRIS Invigilation.

The exams consist of a variety of multiple-choice questions, matching word questions, missing word questions and written response questions.

Both exams are sequential in navigation, meaning you must progress through the quiz in order and may not return to previous pages nor skip ahead.

1. The first part of the ITB Final Exam has questions about Game Design & Development taught by Carli. These questions assess your ‘skills’ using the Unity Game Editor and Unity Scripting. You are not allowed to open Unity during this section of the exam.

2. The second part of the ITB Final Exam has questions about Python Programming taught by Vladimir; similar to the questions you had on the ITB Python Quizzes and the Week 7/8 Exam. You are allowed to use the official Runestone Interactive online textbook (with all your work) and IDLE (without previously saved programs).

You cannot use any other devices or digital and printed resources.

You must be looking straight into your screen for the duration of the exam.

Marking Criteria:

Game Design & Development: 20%

Python Programming: 20%
