Instructions

NOTE: This is just for practice! For questions that have auto-graded answers, you should be able to see the answers after you submit the quiz. In a normal quiz, you would have 50 minutes to complete it during class.

This quiz has 10 problems. 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 you you get them correct, they will count as extra credit
2. you must indicate which 5 (or 7 if you attempt both extra credit questions) you would like graded by listing the question numbers in your response to the last; I will not grade the others
3. throughout 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 5 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.
