The open notes exam structure will be in two parts:
- Part
I will be a written portion covering terminology. Though primarily
short-answer, the questions will be a mixture of assessment types
possibly also fill-in-the-blanks, matching, etc. You will not be
allowed to use the book or your computer for Part I. You will have to
submit Part I before beginning Part II.
- You will use Notepad or
Notepad++ to write HTML and CSS using the ideas we have learned. On
Part II exam, you will be allowed to use: blank paper, pen, or pencil,
your notes, as well as any HTML and CSS which you have personally
written for this course. Internet access is restricted to submission to
Moodle. Note also that the use of any other software,
communication programs or other web pages will be considered academic
dishonesty and will be treated as such, so wireless must be disabled
during the exam until submission. You will not be allowed to share materials. Obviously, you must bring your laptop to the exam.
