Tests and such

We took a test last week. The biggest problem I had on the test was a question containing an unknown part <*1>. It wasn't clear to me that this represented an unknown variable, as this was not clarified in the question. I feel that I could have figured it out had I known this. Otherwise the test was fairly straightforward. I spent a lot of time on nested for loops though I got most of them right so I feel fine about that. I really liked the free response question as it wasn't a straightforward question and it actually tested that you knew how to use the code effectively rather than just the syntax.
