Learning Objectives

The subset of learning objectives that you can demonstrate your proficiency/mastery on for quiz 4 are (new ones in bold):

  1. Using recursion a. Proficiency - defining the “three laws of recursion”, M - writing a recursive function
  2. Explaining time complexity of linked list operations a. Proficiency - define Big-O of specified operation, M - demonstrate how you get that Big-O
  3. Using stacks
  4. Explaining time complexity of stack operations a. Proficiency - define Big-O of specified operation, M - demonstrate how you get that Big-O
  5. Explaining time complexity of queue operations a. Proficiency - define Big-O of specified operation, M - demonstrate how you get that Big-O
  6. Defining variables with appropriate type in Java
  7. Writing loops (definite and indefinite) in Java

You can print and bring this checklist with you to help you keep track of which objectives you need to complete.

Suggestions

Remember that this isn’t your only chance to demonstrate your understanding of these learning objectives, so try not to stress too much. Good ways to study for the quizzes are:

  • Finish any labs that you hadn’t finished or redo ones that you did finish
  • Go back over the readings/videos relevant to the learning objectives
  • Try any of the exercises at the ends of relevant chapters that are about the learning objectives
  • Work on the current homework, since it usually overlaps with the quiz objectives
  • Attend the prefect sessions
