C A L H O O N U N I V E R S I T Y # 3 8
Program by Bob Markland
Welcome to yet another semester at Calhoon University. We are happy to
offer you three new courses: POTPOURRI, US AIRPOWER and COR BLIMEY. The
first quiz is a little bit of everything; the second a test of your
knowledge of the airplanes that strike terror into the hearts of those of
us on the ground; and the third tests how well you know the British words
for items we use every day.
STUDENT ORIENTATION
-------------------
At CALHOON UNIVERSITY each quiz consists of up to 100 questions and
offers 4 multiple-choice answers. Use CRSR DOWN/UP to highlight the correct
answer and press RETURN to enter your choice. Or sit back in your favorite
chair and use a joystick in port 2. Select and enter your choice with DOWN,
UP, and FIRE.
Questions are presented in a different random order each time the
program is run to enhance learning value. In addition to the questions and
answers the screen display indicates the number of questions presented, the
previous high score, the point value for the current question and the
cumulative score for the current quiz.
YOUR GRADE
----------
The scoring system rewards consistently correct answers. The point
value begins at 1. With each correct answer the point value is increased by
1. An incorrect answer resets the point value back to 1. There is no
further penalty for incorrect answers and the quiz continues until all
questions have been answered. The valedictorian will score 1275 points on
50 question quizzes, and 325 on 25 question puzzles.
Following each quiz the Dean's List displays the top 10 students. If
your score qualifies you for honors a cursor appears on the appropriate
line so that you may enter your name. Type from 1 to 10 characters and
press RETURN to record your score.
From the Dean's List you may elect to try another quiz or quit. You may
also quit a quiz in progress by pressing [Q] at the start of any question.
In this case you will be taken to the Dean's List, but are not considered
for honors, regardless of your current score. Your options are: Try a new
quiz, Continue with the quiz in progress, or Drop out of school. When you
drop out of school, the program searches for a LOADSTAR disk in the active
drive. If none is found you are returned to BASIC.
