COMP1010 Results Explained

Posted by Sim Mautner 3 months ago.

Hi everyone,

In the coming days you'll be released your COMP1010 grades.

Those of you who received a mark greater than or equal to 50%, with a UF grade, this means that you got an otherwise passing grade, but did not pass the exam. The exam is a hurdle requirement of the course, so this means at this point you have not passed COMP1010. If you are in this category, and would like to attempt to achieve a passing grade in COMP1010, this is how it will work:

1. During the supplementary exam period (6 Jan – 10 Jan 2025), you will be given a task similar to the final exam.
2. If you achieve 50% or more on that task, then your grade will be calculated as follows:

course_mark = (original_course_mark - 50)/2 + 50

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us via a private post on the forum or via e-mail (cs1010@cse.unsw.edu.au).

I hope you all have a wonderful holidays.

Sim.

Exam preparation, and a second practice exam

Posted by Maddy Guthridge 3 months ago.

Hello, COMP1010!

I hope you've all had a relaxing stuvac, and are now revising and studying for your COMP1010 exam! You've all worked so hard this term, and I'm excited for you to do the final "victory lap".

In this announcement:

• Exam information
• A second practice exam
• Update on course marks
• Thank you!

📚 Exam information

• Your exam is in-person on Wednesday afternoon, December the 4th.
• You should have received an email with information about the exam.
• Make sure you are not late! If you are late, we can't let you sit the exam.
• Remember, you can take in two double-sided sheets of paper with any notes you desire.
• We can't let you take your notes out of the exam once you've finished, so if you want to keep them, make sure to create a copy before the exam.
• Sim, Ethan and I will all be there during the exam. Say hi!

🍀 A second practice exam, and an exam walk-through

• I've written a brand new practice exam for you! You can download it using this link .
• Notice the similar structure to the first practice exam -- the overall structure is similar for most exams.
• Additionally, I've recorded an exam walk-through for this exam. You can watch me solve the entire exam in this video .
• Note that this practice exam is brand new, so there may be minor issues (you'll even spot me discover some during my walk-through)
• You can download my completed solution using this link .
• If you want even more exam revision material, let us know on the forum. There is one other practice exam I can share, although its structure is much less similar to the final exam, and it is a little too easy compared to your actual exam.

✏️ Update on course marks

• Unfortunately, we haven't been able to mark your course work as fast as we would have liked.
• Remember that we are human, and therefore we mark your work at frustratingly human-like speeds 😛.
• We're doing our absolute best to ensure that everything is marked before your final exam. I've gotten Ethan and Shan to help out with marking the remaining lab work.
• In particular, I intend to finish marking your week 10 lab work (the first practice exam) tomorrow.
• However, syncing the marks to Give is a little more challenging, so I may not get that done in time.
• If you want to know your overall pre-exam mark, ask on the forum, and I'll reply to you as soon as all of your work is marked.

🌻 Thank you!

Thanks so much for taking COMP1010. It's been an absolute pleasure teaching all of you, and we hope you've enjoyed our course! Best of luck studying for your exam, and I'll see you on the day!
