How this page works
The writing boxes below are yours. What you type stays in this browser, is saved here as you go, and is never sent to us or to your teacher. Hand the written work in the way your teacher asked for it.
The graded check at the bottom is the part that records to your teacher's gradebook.
Part B, from your handoutNot recorded
Your handout says these are the same items available here. Part A stays on paper.
Q1 · 3 points on the handout
A programmer needs to average a list, find its highest value, and check a pass/fail cutoff. Explain how using GradeKit rather than writing all three procedures from scratch 'simplifies the task of creating complex programs.'
Q2 · 3 points on the handout
GradeKit is an EXTERNAL library. Give an example of an INTERNAL source of existing code the same programmer might reuse in this project, and state the difference between the two sources.
Q3 · 2 points on the handout
ENRICHMENT: Imagine GradeKit shipped with NO documentation - just the procedure names Average, Highest, Passing, and Curve. Identify two specific things you would be unable to know, and explain why that makes the documentation 'necessary.'
Q4 · 0 points on the handout
Next step: you predicted these calls on paper using the doc. Now head to the Topic 3.14 page and type and run the harder versions, where GradeKit is provided for you and the computer checks your output.

About the line in your handout
Your handout says this exercise is available online and auto-graded. The exercise IS here, and it is the same work in the same order, but the auto-graded half is not written for this topic yet. Nothing on this page is scored or sent to your teacher.
Hand this in the way your teacher asked for it. Topic 1.1 has its graded check today, and the rest follow.
