Hello guys, I have this student asking this question about the Programming Principles exam and I wonder if we do give all of this information to students before the exam? As well as I do not have this information, could you help me out? *Thank you!! * *Michelle Arraut * *M.Ed.

I would like to ask a few questions in order to prepare correctly: 1. Could you please confirm whether the exam will be held in Italian or in English for first-year students? 2. In the email it says that the exam will consist of open-ended questions. Could you please clarify whether these questions will mainly be coding exercises, similar to the pre-exam exercises, or whether there may also be theoretical written questions? 3. During the exam on exam.net, will students be required to write only Python code, or also explain their reasoning in written answers? Thank you in advance for your help. Best regards.

Ciao Michelle, 1. The exam will be in English, but 1-year students can answer in Italian. 2. It mainly consists of practical exercises (but theoretical questions may be involved). 3. I think we can skip this one, it's too much information 😂 but it will definitely be required to write Python code. *--* *Marina Gennari* Learning Operations @EPICODE [image: Institute of Technology-1] *Epic Education Srl* epicode.com/ <http://epicode.com/it> *P.IVA:* 15878411006 Il giorno ven 10 lug 2026 alle ore 11:40 EPICODE Institute of Technology < faculty@epicode.edu.mt> ha scritto: > Hello guys, > I have this student asking this question about the Programming Principles > exam and I wonder if we do give all of this information to students before > the exam? > > As well as I do not have this information, could you help me out? > > > *Thank you!! * > > > *Michelle Arraut * > *M.Ed.
