XML Submission

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 expect to learn in this class. Please think about your answer before you start typing it in.

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. A I may lose more points by turning in an non-functional program if I have not asked the instructor for help.
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. My instructor expects me to ask him to eat lunch with him.

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

This report will serve as your first quiz score.
