Quiz

Take-home assessments are popular these days considering the logistical challenges of remote teaching with many of our students in distant time zones. We will employ the same strategy for your Quiz. Essentially, we are replacing the Quiz with a tiny homework, so let's call it quiz-homework (or do you prefer the term take-home exam?).

  • On Tue, Oct 27, at 9:00 AM ET, we will release the quiz-homework.
  • The format will be similar to other homework (you will have a GitHub repository, you will link it to CodeGrade, etc.)
  • It is expected to take a prepared student no more than 75 minutes to finish the quiz-homework.
  • However, we will give you a window of 36 hours (to account for all sort of individual challenges you may be facing: time difference, other classes/homework/exams, etc.) to submit it.
  • So, the deadline will be Wed, Oct 28, at 9:00 PM ET.
  • Much like other homework, the quiz-homework will be open-book. You are allowed (and encouraged) to refer to your notes and other course materials/resources.
  • However, unlike homework, you are not going to have any help from the course staff.
  • Moreover, you must work alone on the quiz-homework. Do not discuss it with other students.
  • More to that point, you should not post any question about quiz-homework on Campuswire unless you have logistical issues or you need to ask any clarifying question. In such cases, please make a private (only visible to instructor and TAs) question on Campuswire.
  • Any violation of above-stated policies will be dealt with as a case of Academic Misconduct & Dishonesty.

You may not use a late-day towards the quiz-homework.

You may not ask for extension except under extenuating circumstances.

Examples of extenuating circumstances are illness, accidents or serious family problems. The assumption is that, during the 36 hours window, you will be able to put about 75 minutes of work into completing the quiz-homework.

We will not have a lecture on Tue, Oct 27, so you can put the lecture time towards working on the quiz-homework.

Grading and feedback: We will grade your submission similar to homework and release the grade/feedback once we are done grading all submissions.

Topics: The quiz covers the topic from lecture-1 (Course Overview, SleepTime App) up to and including lecture-15 (YouNote API (Refactored)).
