Instructions

This quiz has 10 problems (Questions 2–11). You will be graded out of 5, which means you get to choose which 5 you'd like to do. There are three caveats to this:

1. you may attempt up to two additional problems, and if you get them correct, they will count as extra credit
2. you must indicate up to 7 questions you would like graded by listing the question numbers in your response to Question 12; I will not grade the others
3. by the end of the semester, you must pass at least one question associated with each of the programming skills and constructs (listed below); each question is labeled with the skills/constructs associated with it, so when you choose your questions, make sure you are cognizant of which skills/constructs you need to fulfill

You will get credit for any problem that you select for grading that you answer correctly or very nearly correctly. Ignore the point value of problems—they are all worth the same.

NOTE: On Quiz 1, I found it confusing that I distinguished between "Problems" and Canvas quiz "Questions". For this quiz, I will reference the Canvas question number, not separate problem numbers. Question 1 and Question 12 aren't content questions; you should pick your 5–7 problems to answer from among Questions 2–11.
