🍉 Week 11 Update

Posted by Hayden Smith 🎉 Thursday 24 November 2022, 07:08:59 PM, last modified Thursday 24 November 2022, 07:11:30 PM.

Updates below!

🤖 Final Exam Time

Based on the MyExperience score, and another 5 minutes I'll add on, we're going to have the final exam start at 2pm and finish at 5:29pm (an extra 29 minutes!).

Any times for ELS or other adjustments will be communicated separately.

🍁 Iteration 3 Marks

By Sunday night at 10pm we will have released your iteration 3 marks and final project mark.

You will (not yet, but on Sunday) see a number of grades available:

• Iteration 3 marks
  • iter3_manualmark (/13.5) - the mark your tutor gave your group for non-automarking
  • iter3_bonus (/3) - the mark your group for for bonus marks
  • iter3_finalmark (/30) - the sum of manual mark + automark adjusted for contributions
    • NOTE THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE BONUS MARKS
• Overall Project marks
  • project (/70) - the sum of iterations 0, 1, 2, and 3, as well as the bonus marks
• Figuring out if you've passed already
  • total_marks_before_exam (/80) - this is the sum of your labs (/10) and project mark (/70)
    • If you have 50/80 or higher, you have passed the course
    • If you have 40/80, you need to score at least 10/20 in the final exam to pass the course

These marks are subject to change if new information comes to light or mistakes were made in the determinations (happens from time to time).

If there are issues with your project mark, please reach out to your tutor. Whilst their response won't be necessarily quick, we will be thorough. Don't stress about "marks being locked in" as I have the ability to update marks until something like Christmas, so we have plenty of time if you're a particularly tricky case.

🌚 Extra Help Sessions

Two extra week 11 help sessions have been added to Sunday. Check them out .

🌻 Re-running of labs/project

If you would like to talk to your tutor about reruns for labs or project, you have until the end of Sunday the 27th of November to produce the new commit and email your tutor the branch name that you'd like to re-run. This is the cut-off for re-runs for T3. This doesn't mean they have to have it resolved by the end of Sunday night, but we need you to at least start the conversation.

End of week 10 updates

Hi everyone!

Hope everything has gone well with iteration 3. It's been incredible seeing everyone pick up the work and tackle the challenge. The term has flown by. It's crazy how much you've all managed to learn this term.

🐢 General Updates and reminders

• Tutorial 10 solutions are being released this weekend.
• All of the information about the exam was covered in the final exam lecture. The info page is here .

🍹PEER REVIEW ITER3 - you have only a few days to complete.

Everyone is required to complete their first peer review for iteration 3. This is invaluable feedback for your tutor to track how your group is performing together. You need to complete this by Monday @ 5pm!

FILL IT OUT NOW!!

Have a great weekend - you have some time before the exam and realistically most of you are pretty much ready for the exam, so things will be OK! :)

🙉 End of week 9 updates - week 10 lecture in person

Posted by Hayden Smith 🎉 Tuesday 08 November 2022, 02:16:33 PM, last modified Tuesday 08 November 2022, 02:24:31 PM.

Hi everyone!

We're wrapping up week 9 - keep your heads down and keep focused. No more labs. No more new content. One tutorial. Make this weekend count, and keep steady next week. Updates below:

📣 Week 10 lecture IN PERSON

Our week 10 exam lecture will be in person . It will only take about an hour.

It will be in Mathews Theatre A (the place we had our very first lecture) as well as streamed online like normal.

💡MyExperience - more exam time??

Filling out MyExperience is one of the most helpful things you can do for the teaching team here in COMP1531. It would really mean a lot if you could just take 5 minutes to fill it in. The information is extremely useful for us in understanding how we're doing and where we need to focus attention.

We really need to hit 50% completion of the survey at a minimum for the results to be useful :)

Click here to fill it in!

⚠️ ALSO!‼️ For every % that we score over 50% I will add 1 extra minute onto the final exam!! A quick example summary below is:

🐢 General Updates and reminders

Some key updates and reminders for you:

• Tutorial 9 solutions is being released this weekend.
• For lectures next week we will only have a Monday lecture to talk about the exam. There is no Wednesday lecture, but there are two pre-recorded BONUS (not assessable) lectures you watch if you are super curious!

🦃 Iteration 3 - Leaderboard & 1 week to go

Iteration 3 is due on Friday of week 10. Super soon. Good luck - you'll figure it out.

We will be running the leaderboard on the Monday, Wednesday, Friday of week 10.

Have a great weekend - so close! 1 week to go until the bulk of it's over :)
