Session 1 Preparation

Quiz

Go to Moodle to find the Quiz for this Preparation.

Clink on the above link, then sign in with your Rose-Hulman credentials if asked.
On your Moodle Dashboard, under “My courses”, find CSSE 120 Summer 2015-2016 (online, all Sections). The quiz will be inside the Session 1 topic.

Do the quiz as you watch the videos and do the reading. The quiz follows the same order as the videos/reading do.

You can access the videos from here or from Moodle; they both point to the same place.

Download the csse120_setup.zip file you will need at Session 1, as follows:
This file will be posted Tuesday. Please return then to get it.
- Do this when you are on campus, since the file to download is large (about 650 MB). On campus it should download in under a minute.
- Using a browser (e.g. Chrome), visit the CSSE 120 binaries folder. (Just click on the link, it will open a new tab.)
- Download the file that you will see there whose name is csse120_setup.zip. Note where it goes when you download it.
- Do nothing else with the file. In particular, do not unzip it. We will give you special instructions at Session 1.
