Practical Exam

Within the scope of the course you took with the code YMGA107, on Monday, November 14, 2022, at 10:00, you will have a 15% practice exam in the computer lab where we teach (FCMS – B01). The exam will last 1:00 hour and will be based on the practices we have made since the beginning of the semester. It will be convenient for you to come by archiving the articles and images you have written. It will save you time.

I would like to remind you about the points to be considered during the exam.

  1. All databases will be reset before the exam starts.
  2. Everyone will be responsible for their own system during the exam. Aid will not be accepted, and those who help will be deemed unsuccessful in the exam.
  3. Your system setup information is going to be given to you in the class by paper. You will use that information during the exam.
  4. You can use the internet during the exam. I am giving the videos of the course below.
  5. The scope of the exam is as follows. You should be aware that different transactions to be made outside the scope will cause you to lose points.
  6. Behaviors such as asking questions and talking (among you or on the phone) during the exam are prohibited. Otherwise, those who exhibit these behaviors will be removed from the exam hall and will be deemed unsuccessful in the exam.
  7. You must have your writings with you when you come to the exam. Those who do not comply with at least 3 writing rules will lose points.
  8. When the exam period is over, all accounts will be suspended and archived offline.
  9. The person who finishes the exam will leave the exam by signing the second signature on the attendance sheet. 2. Don’t forget to put your signature. Otherwise, you will fail the exam.
Exam Scope
  • The exam will start from the WordPress installation screen. FTP-related parts will be skipped. For this reason, I suggest you start from step 4 of the first video.
  • Install and activate the required theme (Easy Magazine) and plugins.
  • Making the design correctly by looking at the sample page (banabirsebepver.org).
  • Uploading and publishing at least 3 articles to the system.

Note: Those who set up the system can enter the page with the information on the papers to be given to them for sample page entry.

Final project groups will be determined and you will be asked to specify your group name. That’s why you have to be in the classroom after the exam.
