The following page gives general instructions for completing the three phases of Skills Quiz 1 for Spring 2023. They are:

  • Closed note
  • Open note
  • Reflection

Quick Links

  • Where/how to scan into a PDF: Scanning. When scanning, start with the cover page, then the test page for Problem 1, then any additional work for problem 1, then the test page for problem 2, then any additional work for problem 2, etc, etc.

Round 1: Timed closed notes

  • The closed notes part of the test should be timed for 75 minutes. If you get testing accommodations for extra time or for breaks, plan those for yourself as well.
  • Once you feel you are prepared to take the test, find time in a quiet space with no distractions where you can take the test. Print it out from Sakai in the Resources folder and have 5-10 extra blank pieces of paper and a dark pen or pencil handy. You can write on both sides of the paper as long as you remember to scan things in order. You should also put your name and NetID are on every page.
    • For Problem I, put the answers on the test page in the grid
    • For Problems II-V, put your code on a separate piece of paper but make it clear which function or which part of the script you are writing; you can use a comment such as # Part (2) to indicate what code is doing what
    • In each case, if you are not quite sure how to do something, write notes to yourself about what you might need to look up later. This is meant to be a diagnostic tool - we will be grading it based on *completion* (and clarity of the scans) rather than accuracy!
  • After the allotted time, stop yourself.
  • You will be scanning the test to a PDF and uploading it to Gradescope. See the Scanning page references above for more information.
  • See Student Submission for information on how to upload and then organize your upload. You basically need to let us know which page or pages include material for each problem. Include the original test page even if all you wrote on the test page is your name and NetID.
  • The hard deadline for this is Tuesday, April 11, at 10pm but you really should get it done well before then in order to move on to the next part (which is graded for correctness, versus completion).

Round 2: "Unlimited Time" "Open Notes"

  • Second, once you have taken the test by hand, scanned it, and uploaded it, find time over the next several days to correct it given that you can now use Python, notes, and the book. You are not allowed to ask other people questions directly or indirectly (i.e. no posting on message boards) with the exception of private notes to the Spring 2023 instructors of EGR 103. Take as much time as you want up until the due date.
  • To turn this in, you will actually be turning things in in different ways for different parts of the quiz:
    • Problem I: scan the page to a PDF and upload it to Gradescope. Your answers must be in the blocks provided!
    • Problem II: create a file called "problem2.py" with your solution and upload it to Gradescope.
    • Problem III: create a file called "problem3.py" that has the three functions defined within it and upload it to Gradescope.
    • Problem IV: create a file called "problem4.py" with your solution and upload it to Gradescope.
    • Problem V: scan your answers to a PDF and upload it to Gradescope. Be sure to clearly indicate which part of which piece is solved where.
    • Note - you can certainly add test code to your script for any or all of the functions; just be sure to put the test code at the bottom of the script and start it with
if __name__ == "__main__":
  • This is due Tuesday, April 11, at 10pm

Round 3: Reflection

  • Third, once you have re-taken the test, look back at the original handwritten version as well as the version you were able to do with notes, the book, and the computer. Write down / type out reflections on what you did well, what needs work, what was clear, what wasn't, improvements you would make to the test, etc, etc. You will be uploading this as a PDF to Gradescope by Tuesday, April 11, at 10pm; it should be about a page long and should be typed but it does not have to be in LaTeX.
