Question 1

A student wants to publish their original song online. Which license would let others share the song freely but require them to give credit?

Accepted Answer

Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY)

Answer

CC BY (Creative Commons Attribution) allows anyone to share and use the work freely as long as they give appropriate credit to the creator.

Question 2

Which of the following BEST illustrates reusing an abstraction when building a new computational artifact?

Accepted Answer

Importing a sorting library rather than writing a new sort function from scratch

Answer

Importing an existing library reuses a pre-built abstraction, saving time and leveraging already-tested code.

Question 3

What is the purpose of a prototype when developing a computational artifact?

Accepted Answer

An early working model used to test ideas and gather feedback before full development

Answer

A prototype is an early, often incomplete version of a product used to explore ideas and collect feedback before investing in full development.

Question 4

A student creates a digital artwork and wants to allow others to use it freely, share it, but NOT for commercial purposes. Which license type fits best?

Accepted Answer

CC BY-NC

Answer

CC BY-NC (Attribution-NonCommercial) allows free use and sharing but prohibits commercial use of the work.

Question 5

Which of the following describes 'incremental development' when creating a computational artifact?

Accepted Answer

Adding and testing one small feature or piece at a time

Answer

Incremental development means adding features one at a time and testing each addition, making it easier to identify and fix problems early.
