Practice quizzes
- Before the Einstein coding starts, we have some practice quizzes on Linux.
- I designed a few quizzes, but have not yet built a marking system.
- So you simply get a free 2 percent for completing them properly.
- Come to the lab. (You cannot do these 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:
- Einstein labs
