QUIZ
on Chapter #1 in Programming Logic and Design
This
is an open notes/open book quiz. It
should be done individually without consultation with other students. The quiz should be emailed to me by the
first class day after the week it was posted.
There will be a penalty for late quizzes (a grade if it is late and a
grade for each week until the grade reaches a D - a quiz grade will never drop
below a D based on lateness - you can only fail a quiz based on your answers).
If you feel your answer needs to be explained, feel free to include an
explanation!
