AP Exam C++ Subset Survey

Instructions:

  • Please do now write your name on the survey.
  • Each survey question presents a C++ topic directly related with AP exam.
  • Please mark the corresponding number representing your current understanding level for each question. Survey questions are not necessarily in question format, In that case, understand the topic and mark your knowledge level following the topic.
  • Please write any of your request to be explained in the class under each survey question. You may circle already written requests if you need explanation about them. Otherwise, leave them as it is.


    • In the exam, you are expected to know all the topics well. However, we will come to this level gradually. Please do not feel uncomfortable if you do not know the topics.

      Please write below any other suggestions related. You may include topics to be covered. You may comment about the lectures, labs, and about me, or anything else you may think important. (good or bad) However, please try to be constructive in your comments that you can learn c++ better and pass the exam easyly. This is more important for you than for me. Your comments does not have official value but may be very valuable for your future, and they will be very valuable for me while teaching you.
