MIDTERM
CST 101

The midterm exam consists of an in-class portion and a take-home portion.
Submit each as a file, uploaded to your directory at "http:/suffolk.li".
(If you have any questions about how to upload, see me immediately!)

Your initials are part of the file names:

if your initials are "PDQ", then

The file for today's in-class exam should be named "midterm-PDQ.html"
After you submit the in-class portion ("midterm-PDQ.html") today,
make another copy named "takehome-PDQ.html" for the takehome portion.
and complete the exam again, using this file.
Upload your takehome file ("takehome-PDQ.html") by the due date: one week from now.
Finally, create a WORD document named "word-PDQ.doc" that looks the same as your takehome document. Add it to your portfolio of WORD projects.
