Quiz

The quiz will be open Thursday–Saturday in Elearn, time limited (60 minutes), and not collaborative. It covers weeks 1 & 2. Make sure you block out an hour of uninterrupted time before you start the quiz — you can not pause the timer once you start.

To practice, go to the resource links and look for "Practice Quiz Questions". For quiz 1, focus on Ch1, 2, and 3 (especially 2 and 3). The quiz will be some multiple choice, some short answer, and some writing code. Make sure to read the directions carefully before beginning.
