# ADA Final Exam
This repository contains the final exam for Applied Data Analysis (CS-401).
All the logistical details, rules, and guidelines pertaining to the exam are stated below.
Additionally, to iron-out critical logistical aspects, such as execution environment setup, sharing of high-level rules, and submission process of your solved exam, we would like each of you to participate in a dry-run of the exam. Please see the [dry-run instructions](#Dry-run-Instructions) section at the bottom of this document for details.
## Conda Environment
We have prepared a conda environment, named `adaexam`, with all the Python packages that you might need for the exam. You can install it with the following command:
`conda env create -f adaexam_crossplatform.yml`
Once installed, to activate the environment, please use `conda activate adaexam`. To use it in Jupyter, please initiate Jupyter from a terminal with adaexam as the active conda environment. Alternatively, you can add the conda environment as a custom kernel by using the following command:
`python -m ipykernel install --user --name=adaexam`
*Note-1: You are of course welcome to install any additional package to the aforementioned conda environment.*
*Note-2: The aforementioned setup has already been tested by the ADA teaching staff on Mac OS Big Sur 11.4, Ubuntu 20.04, and Windows 10.*
