AUTHENTIC LEARNING ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES

Activity 1:

Design a user interface to look exactly as the one below. The user must be able to enter
his or her name and the color and make of his/her car. The input values must then be
combined into a sentence and must be displayed on the label in the following way.
Provide for a default and cancel button. Once again you may assume that the user will
enter valid values before the display button is clicked. This is also a very considerate
programmer because, based on the message, everybody will be smart, no
matter what they drive!
