Practice quizzes
- Before the serious (silent, individual, automatically marked) Einstein coding starts,
we have some easy practice quizzes on Linux.
- You actually get marks for taking part. This works quite well. Here are the rules.
- For the practice quizzes only:
- You get a free 2 percent for completing them.
- You have to be in the lab. You cannot do them remotely.
- A password will be given in the lab.
- You can use the Internet, talk to each other, ask the tutors questions, anything to help you answer the questions.
- Answer all questions, submit, and you get a free 2 percent.
- You have to answer every question or your submission is not recorded.
- I will store your answers, but they are not marked.
- If anyone just types rubbish to get in and out, and I discover the rubbish stored later,
you will lose the 2 percent.
- I will do the answers in class.
Einstein labs
After the practice, we have Einstein coding for marks. The coding is Shell scripts.
For instructions see:
