CI03
Q1 multiple-choice · canonical-demo What’s the “canonical CAPP demo” referenced in CI03?
Source: CI03 §1.
Explanation: Canonical demo = the standard end-to-end CAPP demonstration. Touches every major piece of the stack. Every CI should be fluent.
Q2 multiple-choice · cognitive-load What 5 simultaneous demands are placed on an instructor during a live demo?
A) Talk, click, watch students, monitor equipment, manage time
B) Plan, execute, evaluate, document, escalate
C) Setup, deliver, cleanup, restart, escalate
D) Listen, decide, act, document, conclude
Source: CI03 §2.
Explanation: Five simultaneous demands. Most new instructors handle 2-3 well; advanced instructors handle all 5. Practice is the path.
Q3 scenario · failure-recovery Mid-demo, the camera tether disconnects. Right immediate response?
Source: CI03 §3.
Explanation: Failures are recoverable. Acknowledge + recover gracefully + use as teaching moment when possible.
Q4 multiple-choice · backup-planning What’s the recommended backup planning for a live demo?
Source: CI03 §3.
Explanation: Multi-tier backup = screencast (closest to live), screenshots (key states), whiteboard (pure concept). Insurance is cheap.
Q5 true-false · silent-demo Silent demos (clicking without narration) are fine because students can see what’s happening.
Source: CI03 §2.
Explanation: Silent demos = students see motion, miss meaning. Narration is mandatory. Adults need to hear the “why” alongside the “what.”
Q6 multiple-choice · student-hands-on During student-driven hands-on, what’s the instructor’s role?
Source: CI03 §5.
Explanation: Hovering = anxiety, not help. Coaching via questions builds diagnostic thinking. Takeovers teach students that “the instructor does it for me.”
Q7 scenario · stuck-student During student hands-on, one student can’t find a CAPP feature. Best coaching response?
Source: CI03 §5.
Explanation: Help finding > pointing out. The discipline of locating features under their own effort builds memory.
Q8 multiple-choice · practical-cert What is the CI cert practical observation requirement?
Source: CI03 §8.
Explanation: Practical observation is mandatory for CI cert. Coverage + demo quality + engagement + recovery scored.
Q9 multiple-choice · practice-volume Approximately how many sessions does it take to feel automatic?
Source: CI03 §7.
Explanation: Practice volume is the path. CI03 expectations: first 3 sessions = mechanically clean, sessions 4-7 = improvising, sessions 8-10 = automatic. Past 50 = style + voice.
Q10 multiple-choice · online-hands-on How can hands-on be adapted to online delivery?
Source: CI03 §6.
Explanation: Online hands-on is less effective than in-studio but far better than pure lecture. Multiple adaptations preserve the principle.
