Session 3

Quiz

Go to Moodle to find the Quiz for this Preparation.

When you click on the link it should take you to your dashboard (once you sign in with your Rose-Hulman credentials). Once there look under “my courses” to find CSSE 120. On the CSSE 120 page you should see Quiz 3 under the Day 3 heading.

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.
