Types of Testing

There are three different types of testing that will occur in this class. Each is described below:

• Each lab unit consists of a Pre-test and a Post-test. These tests are run inside the MyITLab Simulator and test your ability to perform the tasks being introduced in that Lab. For more information on these, please review the Labs tab on this web-site.

• Quizzes. There will be ten quizzes given during the semester. To cover unforeseen circumstances, the student's worst quiz score will be tossed out.

  • On-line quizzes. On-line quizzes are given using RamCT. Each quiz covers the material presented in 2-3 lectures. For each quiz, each student will have 20 minutes to answer 10 questions, usually multiple choice or matching. These quizzes are closed book - bringing up any other window other than the quiz window is considered cheating. These quizzes must be taken in the CS110 Lab during open time on Wednesdays (9-6), but may be taken at a time of the student's choosing within that framework. Taking this quiz will replace the lecture time for that Wednesday.

  • In class quizzes. There will be occasional in class quizzes given over the lecture material.

• Final exam. The final exam will be held during the last lecture day of the semester. There is no set time for this test, each student is free to come in anytime during the open lab hours (9-6) to take the final. Each student will have 60 minutes to answer 30 questions over the lecture material, usually multiple choice or true/false.
