Practice Final Practical - Prof. Sonstein

General Instructions

Total [ 25 points ]

You only have three (3) tasks today, and you have almost two (2) hours to complete them. You will build a new sub-directory in your login directory on gibson, and you will put a simple text file in that directory. You will build a new sub-directory in your Web directory on gibson, and you will put a simple HTML file in that sub-directory containing one set of onmouseover/onmouseout behaviors. Finally, you will build a new sub-directory in your Web directory on gibson, and put a simple CSS file in there. Not so bad for a final practical exam.

You can use any online resources you wish. You can also use your textbooks, and you can use notes written or printed on one side of one piece of notebook-size paper. If you already know how to build valid HTML and CSS because you have been doing your work all quarter long, then you will not have any trouble accomplishing these tasks. If you do not already know how to do these things, then you will not learn how to do so in under two hours no matter what resources you use. Remember, this is just a pass/fail exam and you just need a score of 70% to pass. That is just 17.5 points out of 25 total.
