Time spent: 1:29

What I did well on

  • Crowdsourcing\
  • Data privacy Digital divide
  • Creative commons
  • Internet and Cybersecurity
  • Algorithms/ Programming (Binary, loops, conditionals, logic based problems)

What I need to improve on

  • If-else logic
  • List array manipulation (moving/removing lines from code)
  • Simulations
  • A couple privacy concepts I messed up

How I can improve

  • use scratch paper
  • do math on paper
  • read all answers use process of elimination
