Test 1#

Content you should review for Test 1 includes:

  • Markdown Syntax

  • Questions about Data 301 Tech Stack

  • Command line and Terminal

    • Commands we discussed in Class, more advanced commands from the BashCrawl game from lab will not be assessed

    • File sizes

  • Fundamentals of git

    • “It is important to realize that in this course, you will not explicitly be tested on any git commands except add, commit,fetch,push,pull,branch, merge”

    • Other concepts such as a “Pull Request”, a “Fork”, “Code review” are fair game to be tested.

Important

Remember that for every Test, there is also a Bonus Test and we will take the better of the two scores so there is no harm in doing both Tests. A Test and a Bonus Test will be on essentially the same material.

Warning

You will likely not get your Test results back before the Bonus Test, so please plan accordingly. Once the Test is over, you will however be able to see the questions you got.

General Rules for the Test#

Read them carefully! By clicking START you are agreeing to these conditions:

  • You will have 75 minutes to complete the test (unless you have an accommodation from the DRC).

  • You must complete the test BY YOURSELF (no friends, no tutors, no classmates, no humans).

  • You will not be able to ask us questions during the quiz - do your best with your best interpretation of the question.

  • The test is open-book, open-notes, open-web EXCEPT you CANNOT use websites that help you cheat such as Chegg, Course Hero, Slader and other similar websites that have tutors answering questions you upload (Stack Overflow is allowed).

  • Using google to search for concepts is NOT cheating. For example, you can search for definitions of terms, and commands.

  • If you accidentally come across the same or similar test question on google, resist the temptation to keep reading, and just close your browser tab.

  • You can also use any code editor, or JupyterLab, etc to run and test your code.

  • Any form of communication with other humans, terrestrial or extraterrestrial is not allowed (Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Terminal, Signal, iMessage, SMS, MMS, etc…) and IS CHEATING

  • Do NOT share test questions with your anyone - that IS CHEATING.

  • Do not be anxious about the test! If you don’t do well - review the material and try again next week - we will take the better of the two scores!

  • Overall, do not stress! You will be fine :-)
