MIS 1A - Practice Exam / Assignment #3

Due Next Tuesday

This was the exam from a previous semester. The students had 60 minutes to complete all the exercises. CAUTION: DO NOT just study from this sheet. On the final exam, there may be tasks/concepts that are not covered on this old exam. I suggest you also review the other homework assignments and the material in the textbook. It is up to you to seek assistance from me if you do not understand this material. In order to complete this exercise, you will need to download a file from my web site, which is located at the following Internet address.

csus.edu/indiv/b/benveniste

From my home page, click on the link labeled MIS 1A. Next, click on the link labeled exam.exe. After doing this, a Save As window will come up. Save the file to the root directory of the floppy drive (A:). Once the file is downloaded, execute the exam.exe file. Once the exam.exe file has been executed, you should see a WinZip Self-Extractor Window. In the Unzip to Folder field, type in A: The files and folders you will need for this exercise will be placed on your diskette. Once you receive a successful extraction message, click on the OK button and then, click on the CLOSE button. You can now continue with the following exercises.
