This video is a 14 minute video that describes the XML document procedure that you will use for this quiz. Here is a template file to use as a starting point for this report.

Write:

• a brief statement (one paragraph) describing what you did over the summer, and
• a brief statement (one paragraph) describing what you expect to learn in this class.

Also, indicate which of the following statements are true:

1. If a report is due at 11:00pm on Tuesday, the best possible grade I can receive is 80% if I submit it at 11:05pm on the Wednesday (the day after it was due).
2. If a student from another section completes a similar lab assignment before I complete mine, it is okay for them to email me a copy of their code in order to give me ideas on how to write mine.
3. The lowest attempted assignment lab score will be dropped when computing final grades.
4. If I know of any errors with my source code (e.g. doesn't compile, crashes under certain circumstances, etc.), I am obligated to mention this in my report.
5. If I submit an assignment that doesn't work, I will not receive more than 50% on that assignment, unless I asked my instructor for help prior to submitting it.

Then follow the electronic submission guidelines in order to submit your "report" electronically.

This report will serve as your first quiz score.

The report is due by 11:00pm Friday of week 1 though you are encouraged to submit it sooner if you can. If you have any questions, please ask me.
