Hints for CS Test 2

Modified: 2020-04-03


This test will be administered beginning on Tuesday, April 7, 2020. You will receive an invitation from SurveyMonkey on that day. You MAY take the test ANY TIME for the next seven days. So, you must complete the test by midnight Tuesday, April 14, 2020.

As I told you earlier, this test is open "text" (because we don't have one) / open notes. The web pages: vision.html, interfaces.html, and interfaceexamples.html, have hints also. Those hints are marked in RED.

Please don't freak out. Take this crisis as an opportunity to learn CS in a new way. I'm guessing that taking this test in this way will teach you much more than doing it the old way. Let's see.

Here are the hints in list form.
