CSC105 SAM Project Assignments
Projects must be done in
Office 365 Mac or Windows versions.
First,
see the Office Upgrade page to get the most recent
version (for free!)
When
you have Office 365 installed on your device, you are ready to begin a SAM
project or SAM Capstone Project.
A SAM
Project gives you experience in the actual software. You download a starter file, and possibly a
few other files to use as part of the project.
You will also download a set of instructions describing what you should
do to the starter file. When you are
finished, you submit the file back into SAM for grading and get feedback in
just a minute or two.
You have five attempts for
each project. The idea here is to get immediate feedback, interpret any error
reports, revise your work and resubmit it.
Sometimes just one typo will deduct a lot of points. Don’t panic.
It’s just part of a larger task. Review
the report, revise the original document, and submit again for regrading.
Because this is computer graded, it is essential that your text matches exactly
what is expected. It’s not picky, it just can’t reason that you are “close.” It
either matches or it doesn’t. This is
why you have multiple attempts.
