To receive the Level 1 certificate, students needed to complete and pass a 20 question exercise. Each question required you to write a program to solve a problem described in the question. Most questions gave hints on what functions should be used to solve the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, now it get interesting because the exercises run on the Wolfram cloud and the answers are graded by an auto-grader. Basically, we need to convince a bot that we can program. There are multiple correct ways to solve the problem, but the auto-grader doesn&#8217;t like just any solution so it might take 3 or more program submission to get a pass on a question. The auto-grader seems to prefer efficient code so you can have the correct from of the program, but auto-grader will reject it until you submit the more or most efficient answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some questions specified the use of random integers or random selections. The auto-grader did not seem to be able to accommodate program answers that produce random outputs. Several other questions seemed to give the auto-grader problems, and it&#8217;s unclear why. The answers to these seven questions were submitted to the study group staff by email and graded by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"791\" src=\"https:\/\/www.p-brane.com\/nm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/2020_07_wolfram_u_wl_prgramming_level_1_certification_JayM-1024x791.jpg\" alt=\"Wolfram Technology Certified Level 1 Wolfram Language Programming Fundamentals\" class=\"wp-image-667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.p-brane.com\/nm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/2020_07_wolfram_u_wl_prgramming_level_1_certification_JayM-1024x791.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.p-brane.com\/nm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/2020_07_wolfram_u_wl_prgramming_level_1_certification_JayM-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.p-brane.com\/nm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/2020_07_wolfram_u_wl_prgramming_level_1_certification_JayM-768x593.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.p-brane.com\/nm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/2020_07_wolfram_u_wl_prgramming_level_1_certification_JayM-1536x1187.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.p-brane.com\/nm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/2020_07_wolfram_u_wl_prgramming_level_1_certification_JayM-2048x1583.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.p-brane.com\/nm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/2020_07_wolfram_u_wl_prgramming_level_1_certification_JayM-624x482.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Wolfram Technology Certified Level 1 Wolfram Language Programming Fundamentals<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I received my Wolfram Technology Level 1 Certificate for demonstrating proficiency in the Wolfram Language Programming Fundamentals!
