This review quiz has questions that may or may not be in the Final Exam.

2. What is an example of acceptable uses for computers and the network?

Explanation

The correct answer is "all of the above" because all the options listed - classroom activities, assignments, communication, and career development - are examples of acceptable uses for computers and the network. Computers and the network can be utilized in classrooms for various activities, such as research, presentations, and interactive learning. They can also be used for completing assignments, communicating with others through email or online platforms, and for career development purposes like job searching and online professional networking.

Submit
3. Which is an example of profane or obscene material?

Explanation

Pornography is an example of profane or obscene material because it typically contains explicit sexual content that is intended to sexually arouse the viewer. It often involves explicit depictions of sexual acts, nudity, and sexually explicit language. The other options, such as photography of people, music from the internet, and webpages that end with ".com," do not inherently involve profane or obscene material unless they specifically contain explicit sexual content.

Submit
4. What is a url?

Explanation

A URL, which stands for uniform resource locator, is a specific character string that is used to access a resource on the internet. It is essentially the web address that is used to locate and identify a particular webpage or file on the internet. A URL typically consists of several components, including the protocol (such as HTTP or HTTPS), the domain name, and the specific path or location of the resource. By entering a URL into a web browser, users can easily navigate to and access the desired webpage or resource.

Submit
5. What is the act of sending an annoying or unnecessary message to a large number of people?

Explanation

Spamming refers to the act of sending unwanted or unnecessary messages to a large number of people. This can be in the form of emails, text messages, or social media posts. Spam is a shortened version of spamming and is often used interchangeably. It is considered annoying and intrusive as it clogs up inboxes and disrupts communication channels.

Submit
6. What should students avoid so as not to disrupt the computer systems or destroy data?

Explanation

Students should avoid spreading viruses and other harmful programs in order to not disrupt computer systems or destroy data. This is because viruses and harmful programs can infect computers and cause damage to the system or delete important files. By avoiding the spread of these malicious programs, students can help maintain the integrity and security of computer systems and prevent any potential disruptions or data loss.

8. One tip is to go outdoors if possible. What produces better photo lighting results?

Explanation

Natural sunlight produces better photo lighting results because it is a direct and consistent light source that enhances colors, textures, and details in a photograph. It creates a more balanced and flattering lighting, reducing harsh shadows and providing a more natural and vibrant look to the subject. It also allows for better exposure and contrast, resulting in a more visually appealing and professional-looking photograph.

Submit
9. Which is an example of plagiarism?

Explanation

Copying the exact words of someone's writing and claiming it as your own is an example of plagiarism. Plagiarism involves using someone else's work, ideas, or words without giving them proper credit. In this case, by copying someone's writing and presenting it as your own, the person is not acknowledging the original author and is taking credit for someone else's work. This is a clear violation of academic integrity and ethical standards.

Submit
10. Appropriate ____ _____ should be conducted when you use LPUMS computers.

Explanation

When using LPUMS computers, it is important to conduct oneself with online etiquette. This means following proper online behavior and adhering to the rules and guidelines set by the institution. Online etiquette includes being respectful to others, using appropriate language, and refraining from engaging in any form of online harassment. By practicing online etiquette, individuals can create a positive and respectful online environment for everyone using LPUMS computers.

Submit
11. What is the smallest element of computer storage?

Explanation

A bit is the smallest element of computer storage. It represents a binary digit, which can have a value of either 0 or 1. It is the fundamental unit of information in computing and is used to represent and store data. A byte, on the other hand, is a group of 8 bits and is the basic unit of storage in most computer systems. A bite, however, is not a term related to computer storage and is not a valid option for the smallest element of computer storage.

Submit
12. This object uses laser light to read and write data.

Explanation

An optical disk drive, also known as an optical drive, is a device that uses laser light to read and write data. It is commonly used to read and write data on optical disks such as CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs. The laser light is used to scan the surface of the disk and retrieve or store data in the form of digital information. This technology allows for high-speed data transfer and storage, making it a popular choice for various applications such as data backup, media playback, and software installation.

Submit
13. It is removable, rewritable, and can store between 64 MB to 64 GB of files.

Explanation

A flash drive, also known as a thumb drive, is a portable storage device that can be easily removed and rewritten. It has a storage capacity that can range from 64 MB to 64 GB, allowing users to store a significant amount of files. Both terms, flash drive and thumb drive, are commonly used to refer to this type of device.

Submit
14. If the subject you are shooting is taller than it is wide, then follow this tip.

Explanation

The correct answer suggests that if the subject being shot is taller than it is wide, it is advisable to take vertical pictures. This is because vertical pictures can better capture the height of the subject and ensure that it is not cut off or cramped in the frame. By taking vertical pictures, the photographer can effectively showcase the subject's proportions and avoid any distortion or loss of detail.

Submit
15. When you make sure that there are no distracting elements in your photo like poles or trees sticking though someone's head, which tip are you following?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Watch your background". This tip suggests being mindful of the elements in the background of your photo to avoid any distractions that may take away from the main subject. By ensuring that there are no distracting elements like poles or trees sticking through someone's head, you can create a cleaner and more visually appealing composition.

Submit
16. To make your subject not so boring, follow this tip so your subject doesn't stand like a totem pole.

Explanation

Moving the subject slightly off center is a technique used in photography to create a more visually interesting composition. Placing the subject in the center of the frame can often result in a static and uninteresting image. By moving the subject slightly off center, it creates a sense of balance and allows for more negative space in the composition. This can make the subject stand out more and adds a dynamic element to the photograph.

Submit
17. What is persistently acting in an inappropriate manner that distresses another person?

Explanation

The correct answer is "harassment". Harassment refers to the persistent and inappropriate behavior that causes distress to another person. It can manifest in various forms such as bullying, intimidation, or unwanted advances. The other options, "harrassment" and "harrasment", are misspellings of the correct term.

Submit
18. When you write a post, which button do you click so you can change the font color or underline a word?

Explanation

The correct answer is the kitchen sink button (with the tiny color boxes) because it is commonly used to access additional formatting options, such as changing the font color or underlining a word. The button that looks like a tree is typically used for inserting images, the "B" button is used for bold formatting, and the button with an "ABC" in front of a checkmark is used for spell checking.

Submit
19. Which main menu do you click to change your blog theme?

Explanation

To change the blog theme, you would click on the "design" option in the main menu. This option is likely to provide various customization options and templates for selecting and modifying the overall appearance and layout of the blog.

20. What is a widget?

Explanation

A widget is an extra item that adds more functions to your blog. It is a tool or feature that can be added to the sidebar, footer, or any other area of a website or blog to enhance its functionality. Widgets can include things like a search bar, social media buttons, a calendar, or a weather forecast. They allow users to customize their blog and add additional features that are not included in the default settings.

Submit
21. Not everyone likes "Cheesy smiles." So, what can you as a photographer do to prevent a cheesy smile?

Explanation

To prevent a cheesy smile, a photographer can try telling a joke or saying something more unusual than the typical "Say cheese!" This can help to relax the subject and capture a more natural and genuine smile. Additionally, scaring them can also elicit a more spontaneous and authentic reaction. Therefore, both options A and B are effective ways to prevent a cheesy smile.

Submit
22. What is 1,000 MB?

Explanation

1,000 MB is equal to 1 Gigabyte. In computer storage, data is measured in bytes, with each byte representing a unit of information. The prefix "giga" denotes a factor of 1 billion, so 1 Gigabyte is equal to 1,000 Megabytes. Therefore, the correct answer is 1 Gigabyte.

Submit
23. If you had 1,000 flash drives with each drive holding 1 gigabyte, how much memory would you have in total?

Explanation

If you have 1,000 flash drives and each drive holds 1 gigabyte of memory, then the total memory would be 1 terabyte. This is because 1 terabyte is equal to 1,000 gigabytes, and each flash drive contributes 1 gigabyte to the total memory. Therefore, when you multiply 1,000 flash drives by 1 gigabyte, you get a total of 1 terabyte of memory.

Submit
24. Which main menu do you click to edit a post that you have already created?

Explanation

To edit a post that you have already created, you would click on the "manage" option in the main menu.

By selecting "manage," you can easily locate and make changes to the specific post you want to edit.

Under the "Manage" menu, you can perform various actions related to posts. You can see your old posts, delete an old post, and publish a post. However, you cannot create a new post under the "Manage" menu. This option is typically available under a different menu, such as "Create" or "New Post."

Submit
27. Since you don't have to pay for developing pictures taken with a digital camera, then follow this tip.

Explanation

Taking lots of pictures is suggested because with a digital camera, there is no cost associated with developing the pictures. This means that you can take as many pictures as you want without worrying about wasting film or money. By taking lots of pictures, you have the opportunity to experiment and try different angles, settings, and compositions. This allows you to improve your photography skills and capture the perfect shot. Additionally, taking multiple pictures increases the chances of getting a good shot, especially when capturing moments or subjects that are unpredictable.
