Fall 2016 Midterm Test Instructions

The test will have two parts, each will have equal weight. Time limit of 1 hour and 50 minutes; you can divide your time as you like, but will will want to leave more time for the Hands-On portion than for the Blackboard test.

Blackboard Test

Multiple choice, true/false (on Blackboard, no need for a Scantron) - Approximately 40-50 questions. Closed book, except that you may use the same notes as in the hands-on portion of the test.  While there will be some questions on terminology, the focus will be on concepts rather than terminology. Although you may ask questions during the test if a question is unclear, I will not explain during the test any of the terminology in the "before the midterm" sections of www.billpegram.com/ite170/termsfall16.html  -- you may disregard the Dreamweaver section, since we haven't gotten there yet. If any of these terms are unfamiliar to you, you should determine their meaning before the test. You will likely find this test difficult.

You may only take the test once.

Hands-On Test

Hands on -- you may use Notepad, Notepad++, or another text editor, but not Dreamweaver.  Fireworks will be limited to image resizing - Closed book except you may use the printed version of the HTML5 Tutorial written by Judy Miller, and one sheet of notes (front and back; you may also mark up/write notes on the Tutorial).  You may only use the printed version of the tutorial  You will create one or more web pages according to the specifications provided in the test and then attach them in Blackboard against the test link -- you must not FTP the files to your student webspace.  The only use you may make of a browser is to (1) view your web page to see if it is working, and (2) access Blackboard to get any attached files and to submit your files by attaching them, the same way you attached your photo in Assignment 1.

Adding things which are not required by the test questions will not improve your score.

All code must be typed in from scratch at the time of the test; no use can be made of existing computer files.
