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 be allowed to use yoru notes, but 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 xhtml and JavaScript 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 xhtml and JavaScript 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.
