Basic algorithm and programming tasks have been developed to assess students understanding of event driven programming. Exercise One Tests: Ability to identify components of event driven programs. Duration 20 minutes. Students are to view the introduction to the ITS OOPS program. After they have done this, they should take the file available here, load it onto their own drive, and complete the missing frame, so that introduction is identical to the original and complete. Exercise Two Tests: Understanding of steps / stages in using object based programs. Duration 15 minutes. Using Word to prepare a report, students are to detail in writing the steps taken to complete the missing frame. Students may use splash screens if they wish to illustrate the steps involved, but must also provide written explanations of what steps they took, and how they determined these steps were necessary. Exercise Three Tests: Competency in Object Oriented Programming Processes Duration 35 minutes Students are to complete an introduction to their project game using KNP, developing a minimum of 5 frames and a maximum of 10 frames. This introduction should include text, sound and graphics. Their design should relate to the themes used in the students project. When students have completed this, they should detail in writing, all steps used in creating their introduction. Students reports should be prepared using Word. Students may use splash screens if they wish to illustrate the steps involved, but must also provide written explanations |
