Specifications

In this lesson, you learned a great deal about arrays, loops and conditional statements. However, the best way to learn anything is through self exploration.

  1. Take some time to create a single Web page, any original page but name it index.html, and include in that page the following:
    1. At least three different arrays that are populated in some way
    2. At least one for loop used to populate (add elements to) an array
    3. At least one while loop used to output (display) the contents of one of the arrays
    4. At least three if and two else statements
  2. If you use an external JavaScript file, you must name it index.js.
  3. Once you complete this page, test your JavaScript to ensure it works without error.

Other Specifications

  1. Complete a README.txt file following the instructions for homework.
  2. Zip your files and submit the zipped archive file to WebCT as explained in the section of this document: What to Turn In.

Grading Criteria

The instructor will evaluate your assignment using the following criteria. Each criteria represents a specific achievement of your assignment and has a scoring guide. The scoring guide explains the possible scores you can receive.

Some scoring guides have a list of indicators. These indicators are a sign of meeting, or a symptom of not meeting, the specific criterion. Note that a single indicator may not always be reliable or appropriate in a given context. However, as a group, they show the condition of meeting the criterion.

For information on grading policies, including interpretation of scores, see the course information page.
