Define the systems development life cycle and discuss the various steps involved increating an e-commerce site.

Which of the following is the most commonly used server-side scripting language?

All of the following are website design features that annoy customers except:

What are the main differences between single-tier and multi-tier site architecture?

Choose one factor from either the BIG 5 or HEXACO and discuss the three themes relating to that factor. As a reminder, the three themes are 1) continuity vs. change (5 points); 2) universal vs. cultural (5 points); and 3) personality vs. situation (5 points)

Give a specific example of a mean level change that maintains rank order stability (5 points). From a developmental perspective, describe what personality coherence is (5 points) and how Rothbart addresses this in her model on temperament (5 points). 

5. In the tide charts below, Identify one example of each of the following: diurnal tide. mixed tide. neap tide. semidiurnal tide. spring tide. Use the letter that BEST represents a tide type and no other. Figure 15  Figure 16 Note: In some cases, the answer is the whole graph; in other cases, the answer is part of one of the graphs.  Label them carefully!

5. Explain how the following features form, especially (where relevant) in the context of Plate Tectonics.  Note: an answer simply naming a plate boundary such as “because it’s a divergent boundary” is not sufficient.  I’m interested in your explanation of the physical processes that cause each feature. Your answer should be more than just a word or two: it should be an explanation. abyssal hills   atoll continental shelf    mid-ocean rift   ophiolite    passive continental margin    sheeted dikes   submarine canyon   

2. The diagram below shows the temperature at various levels within the atmosphere.  On this diagram, give the name of the different layers (1,3,5,7) and the different boundaries (2,4,6) (the horizontal lines) between the layers.  Explain the processes that cause the temperature in each layer to increase or decrease with altitude. Note: spelling counts for the names, but I will give partial credit.  The explanations should be more than a single word.  Don’t rely on me to “know what you’re talking about.”  Show me you know. Figure 22 7: Name: Explain the temperature change in layer 7:  6: Name: 5: Name: 4: Name: Explain why temperature reaches a maximum at boundary 4: 3: Name: 2: Name: 1: Name: Explain the temperature change in layer 1:

11. Match the observation with the type of tide you would expect.  (Hint: draw the configuration of Earth, ocean, and astronomical bodies to see what this would do to the tide.) (Note: some of these answers will be used more than once;all answers will be used at least once.) moon is full.  moon is half-full.  moon is new.  moon is on the horizon. moon is overhead.  sun is on the horizon.  sun is overhead.   you are at the North Pole.
