Rationale/Course of Action

Students will be given this brief formative assessment shortly

after the beginning of the semester as a means to assesses their
responsible computing and ensure their work remains organized
and efficient.

The assessment is used to determine whether difficulties exists,

and where, allowing the teacher to address the issue on a
student by student basis, or with a more elaborate review
assignment if it is found that the entire class is lacking in a solid
understanding.
