An orientation test
See the following documents for a further discussion and explanation of a required orientation test named Test00.
Test00 is an open-book, open-computer, online Blackboard test that is based on the material pointed to by the orientation link listed above. You may take the test as many times as you need from any computer that allows you to log into your Blackboard course. (Test00 is not to be taken in an ACC testing center.)
While the submission deadline for Test00 is the same as the submission deadline for Test01 near the end of the semester, you will need to achieve a score of at least 80 on Test00 as early in the semester as possible to gain access to the assignments.
The following instructions do not apply to Test00. Briefly, Test00 covers the conduct of the course while Test01 (discussed below), covers the content of the course.
One competency test
You must complete one competency test not later than the schedule deadline shown in Blackboard. Select Test01 in the left-side menu in Blackboard. You are allowed and encouraged to take the test early. The test will expire and disappear from Blackboard when the schedule deadline passes.
This is an "open-book" test. You may use any books, notes, diskettes, online references, or other material that you have available.
Test contents
Test questions are generally of a multiple-choice and/or True/False variety. They are drawn from various sections of my online e-book titled GAME 2302 - Mathematical Applications for Game Development along with the material in the interactive tutorial by Dr. Bradley P. Kjell (Vector Math for 3D Computer Graphics) called out in the modules in my e-book.
Study for the test
Some students do well on the test. Many students do poorly on the test. Therefore, you are encouraged to carefully study the material described above prior to taking the test. If you do poorly on the test, you should study some more and take the test again.
Pay particular attention to the review questions with answers and explanations scattered throughout the e-book titled GAME 2302 - Mathematical Applications for Game Development. Also pay particular attention to the questions and answers in the Kjell tutorial material referenced in the e-book. Many (but not all) of the test questions are taken directly from the questions in those documents. If you understand the correct answers to those questions and can reflect that knowledge under test conditions, you should do well on the test. If you don't understand those answers, you will simply be guessing and may do poorly on the test.
Taking the test
You may take the test as many times as you need from any computer that allows you to log into your Blackboard course. (Test01 is not to be taken in an ACC testing center.) You are on your honor to take the test yourself and not to have someone else take it for you.
