Overview
Those of you who have taken IT-130 with me will remember this type of assignment. The problems themselves are not difficult. However, they require you to demonstrate that you have been practicing with the material.
As has been reiterated, even with reading and reviewing the lectures, the only way to really ‘get' this stuff is by actually typing out the code and experimenting with it on your own. You may completely understand what is going on with your initial review - and that is terrific - it's a major hurdle sometimes. However, that is only perhaps one-third of the story. The rest of it comes from ‘making it your own'. And this happens only through practice and experimentation.
As a result, this assignment gives you a small number of pages that must be typed 100% from memory. For each page, I will give you a file to start with that has things like the basic tags, a document.ready() function, and a couple of CSS styles since I certainly would not ask you to type all of that out each time! But for each problem, the remainder must be typed without any reference other than this web page. If you need to look something up, then you must start again.
IMPORTANT: This objective of this assignment is absolutely NOT to get you to memorize code. In fact, it is the opposite. Rather, it is a means of making sure that you have been practicing on your own. If you have been practicing enough, then remembering how to invoke basic functions, or to, say, write an anonymous function should be relatively easy. It also prevents us from copying and pasting code that should be understood. Ultimately, completing each requirement should not be difficult as all you have to do is write a fairly small amount of relatively simple code to complete the problem.
Here is another deal: You MAY write out the solution ahead of time with your notes! But when it comes time to do the ‘homework' version absolutely no peeking is allowed!
Honor System: Obviously, you are on the honor system for this one. I hope that you will not abuse my trust or that of your colleagues by taking advantage of it.
It'll be on the test: Another reason to start doing these things from memory is that you will have to do a few of these kinds of questions on your final exam!
