Caution with using MCDC criterion

In class we discussed active clause coverage in Ammann and Offutt's text, and also how it is related to the MCDC coverage criterion. The goal of this assignment is to discuss and learn about issues related to the measurement of coverage. Note that some of the issues apply to any code coverage measurement in general.
