Open Source Software for Humanity: Final Exam

As we discussed in class, the exam will be a take-home exam. It is a timed exam. The ground rules are as follows:


 * You are on the honor system to follow the rules for this exam in good faith.
 * You will have a maximum of 120 minutes to complete the entire exam. The clock starts when you download the exam. In other words, once you download and open the exam, you have 120 minutes to complete it.
 * You should record your starting time and stopping time.
 * You must attest that the work you present on the exam is entirely your own--no outside help and no consulting of sources other than what's described in the directions on the exam itself.

The exam will cover the following topics.


 * PHP programming language concepts up through arrays (Chapter 6) and MySQL topics (Chapters 7 and 9) and HTML forms (Chapter 10).


 * Open source topics covered in the readings and class discussions.

Downloading the Final Exam
NOTE: You should not download the exam until you are ready to begin taking it. It contains two parts, an essay part (50 points) in which you will have to answer three essay questions, and a PHP part (50 points) in which you will have 7 problems.

The exam is a plain text file. I would appreciate receiving your answers as a text file--NOT a Microsoft word file.

After you download the exam you have 120 minutes to complete it. Please put your name and starting time on it and "sign" the statement that attests you are following the rules and not cheating.

Here it is: exam1.txt.

Enjoy!
