1. What was the schedule of your final exams and how did you do (if your grades are in):
My final exams were evenly split out in two weeks. I had one final in the week of 15th and the other three in
the last week. Overall, I did great on my final exams, but there was one which I nearly failed. The Computer Security
(CST2410) final exam was only ten questions long, with 7 short response questions and 3 multiple choice questions.
The questions were really tricky, even after preparing hard for the exam. I got a "D" on the final exam in CST2410,
but a "B+" in the class. Other final exams were fairly easy. I got a 88 on Biology final, an "A" on Computer Systems
Management(CST2400) final, and I'm not sure what I got on Multimedia and Mobile(CST2301) final.

What was the most challenging thing about this semester? Did you handle it well or did you let it get to you?
The most challenging thing about this semester was the class CST2410, Intro to Computer Security. There were
many obstacles in this class, such as long lectures which sometimes seemed too advanced for an intro class, and tough
assignments. There was a brief moment when I felt like giving up and dropping the class, but then I remembered an old
saying that giving up is not always the best option. In this case, if I had dropped the class, I would have had to
spend en extra semester on it. I spent countless hours teaching myself the topics that I had hard time learning in
class, and reviewed the notes. It was tough at first, but I gradually started to understand the topics more. I did
bad on the final, but doing well on the assignments and projects allowed me to boost my grade.
3. How would you measure your strengths and weaknesses over the semester?
In this semester, my strengths included having prior knowledge to assist me in the classes. An example of
this is CST2400, Computer Systems Management, which required the students to have an understanding of Windows
There was such a variety of topics covered in this course and I wish that I had taken it in a classroom instead of online. With this online course, I feel like the material went a little too quickly. If I were in a classroom setting, I feel that
I think the most challenging courses I took this year was AP Lang but not because of the work or reading but because I did not give me 100% in that class. I think that is something I did wrong and I should have changed that as fast as I could. My grade could have been better in that class then what I got both semesters. The expectations I wanted to meet did not end up that way and actually ended bad for me which I regret. Some of the strengths I discovered this year was being able to ask questions and participate in class without being embarrassed and also talk to my teachers individually which was something that was really hard for me freshman and sophomore year. There are some assignment that I am really proud of and other that I think I
I also now know that I need additional time to devote to this class. Where in other classes, I do not seem to struggle on assignments and clarification. I am a hands-on learner, so with on-line courses it is sometimes difficult to understand what is expected of the assignment, having the rubric helps though.
What was the most challenging topic for you in this course? What resources or methods might have better assisted you with this topic?
The test is kind of short, and so I only really got one more question right in the math section than in each of the other sections
4. What is covered on the test? How many questions? What is the passing score? If you can't find the info, let me know.
This exam has 5 short questions and would be 30% of your final examination grade.
Every unit is a challenge and this one was not the exception. I learned a little bit more about java programming it got a little more complicated this time which in a way is good because it keeps me engage to continue learning.
It was my last class of the semester, and the final exam was worth 30% of our grade.
Did you suffer an accident or illness, which caused your grades to plummet? Did family matters, such as a death, divorce or serious illness have a negative impact on your studies?
Losing grasp of the fundamental concepts, I started to panic. Honestly, it almost feels like drowning, learning something new in class every single day while lacking an understanding of every day that came before. It took a little longer than I would like to admit for me to understand what I needed to do. Fortunately for me, in my concurrent world history class, the class happened to be discussing current events and pertinent historical concepts. That discussion inspired me to apply the same process to my current predicament.
While I was looking over the “Graduation Checklist” I realized there could be quite a few difficult courses.
Unfortunately, I did not meet any of these standards, and therefore was scheduled to take it on May 25th at Milpitas High. I remembered showing up to my testing site worried and depressed due to the sheer weight that the exam had on deciding my future.
This exam consist of 25 multiple choice questions and covers the material in Chapters 1 through 3.
My purpose in writing this book is to give you the knowledge to succeed. I have written it to be as close as I can to the actual test; however, I do not claim that this practice exam is the same as the real test. The questions I’ve included are only examples of the ones that are asked on the actual exam. They are not the actual questions. That would be impossible because the questions
