Quiz 1

Instructions

This is not a typical quiz. You will get credit for any question that you answer correctly or very nearly correctly. You do not need to attempt all the questions! I would recommend attempting at least half of them. Start with the questions that seem easiest to you first. 

Remember that by the end of the semester (inclusive of the final), you need to accrue credit for a specific number of questions to meet the criteria of a given grade bundle. All grade bundles require that you earn credit for at least one question that assesses each topic we cover this semester. Each question is labeled with the topics it assesses. Here is a full list of topics (only the "top level" ones are counted; the sub-lists are just for reference).

2. Client-server model

   • LocalStorage
   • Cookies
