DIRECTIONS : E1
For the two (2) problems below :
	*Be sure to type (show) your work as you solve the two problems below
	*You can use scratch paper to write things out if this is easier, but please transfer this 	work on the word document when finished, as it is your work we will be analyzing, so it is 	VERY important to show you major mental steps !
	*You may use a calculator, but be sure to type out what you are calculating in your work
	*Solve problem one (1) FIRST, and only once you’ve solved it or are done trying to solve
	may you may work on the second (2) problem
	*Once you begin working on the second problem, you may not go back to the 			original !
	*You should not spend more than 30 minutes on this assessment, please keep track of 	time
	*Question 1 is on this page 2, and Question 2 is on page 3, but don’t worry if the page 	numbers shift as you are typing, just be sure to answer both questions in the order 	presented
	*The directions for submission, once you are finished and a required survey question are 	 	page 4

1. Please determine the number the program below (please read the program commands carefully, this program is slightly different than the one you were presented with in the experiment) will output when :

The Program is run with a START VALUE OF : the value the program will output when it is run with a start value of 4

		CURRENT START VALUE :   
		*BEGINNING OF PROGRAM*
		FIRST ACTION : Checks to see if the current start value is equal to 2, if it is 2, 			then the programs returns a value of 1, and stops working
			
		SECOND ACTION : If the first action does not apply, the program then 				multiplies the current start value X the value the program outputs when its run all 			over again from the very beginning of the program to the end with a “new” current 		start value that is the current start value the program is using minus 1
		*END OF PROGRAM*
		OUTPUT VALUE : 

PLEASE TYPE (SHOW) YOUR WORK BELOW (TAKE AS MUCH SPACE/PAGES AS YOU NEED) & BOLD YOUR FINAL ANSWER :

2. Please determine the number the program below will output when :

The Program below is run with a START VALUE OF : 5

		CURRENT START VALUE :   
		*BEGINNING OF PROGRAM*
		FIRST ACTION : Checks to see if the current start value is equal to 1, if it is 1, then 			the programs returns a value of 1, and stops working
			
		SECOND ACTION : If the first action does not apply, the program then 				multiplies the current start value X the value the program outputs when its run all 			over again from the very beginning of the program to the end with a “new” current 		start value that is the current start value the program is using minus 1
		*END OF PROGRAM*
		OUTPUT VALUE : 

PLEASE TYPE (SHOW) YOUR WORK BELOW (TAKE AS MUCH SPACE/PAGES AS YOU NEED) & BOLD YOUR FINAL ANSWER:

Required Survey Question :
Please below briefly describe if the instructional video helped you to solve the problems, and if you had trouble solving the problem, what gave you trouble ?
