We also want to say a massive, massive thank you to the tutors who put in an incredible effort both in classes and behind the scenes the make the course the very best it can be. We also want to thank Carl, Amanda and Alvin in particular as the admin team for their work co-ordinating your assignments.

The fact that you’ve all come so far to complete the course is a testament to your dedication, commitment and tenacity, and the uphill battles you’ve gone through mean that now you can move mountains.

The big day is almost upon us!

The Barbenheimer COMP2511 Final Exam is tomorrow. Couple of quick reminders:

• Make sure you bring:
  • Your student ID card (or a driver's license/passport if you don't have a student ID card)
  • A pen (don't be that one person who has to ask the invigilator for a pen!)
  • (Optional) Clear water bottle
  • Your design thinking brains ready to solve problems
• Make sure you know your exam seat/coralling allocation and your UNSW zPass before going in.
• Be at least 5 minutes early (that one's just a bit of life advice)
• You will have access to everything in this directory in the exam environment:
  • The lecture slides and code
  • The Java 11 API Spec
• There'll be 10 minutes reading time followed by 3 hours of working time.

If you're concerned that the questions will be difficult, or are just generally a bit stressed for tomorrow - that's OK. You've done all the hard work already and it'll pay off tomorrow. And remember, you are Kenough :)

Any other problems - email cs2511@cse.unsw.edu.au, or come see us outside Sitar Lab on Level 3 Ainsworth J17 tomorrow.

Best of luck.

Ashesh & Nick

Hi everyone,

Getting close to the finish line - just under a week and it'll all be done!

Lots to talk about today.

Assignment II Marks Released 🎮

Your Assignment II marks are now available to view on Sturec. I'd like to give the tutors a huge thank you for marking what is a very intricate assignment in such a short amount of time.

If you have a question regarding any of the manually marked components of your assignment or your final result, please email your marker. If you still have further queries after this correspondence, please forward the email chain to cs2511@cse.unsw.edu.au . Any reviews of results directed to the class account can result in the mark decreasing, increasing or remaining the same.

If you applied for a rerun, we have processed these and pushed the results to a branch in your repository. If you applied for a rerun and do not have a branch with updated results, your MR was deemed ineligible. You can post on the forum to inquire further or make another attempt at submitting an MR.

Other Marks Released 🔱

In addition to your Assignment II mark you should now be able to see the following on Sturec:

• forum_bonus (/5), your forum bonus for the term
• class_mark (/60), your coursework mark (labs) and any forum bonuses capped at 60 marks
• pre_exam_mark (/50), your course mark from all pre-exam material (Assignment I, Assignment II, Coursework) - this does not include Assignment III

If you have any questions regarding your lab marks, please email your tutor and lab assistant.

I'll also be releasing some statistics on each assessment on the forum in the next day or so.

Assignment III 🌊

Well done on finishing this for those of you who worked on it. We notice a few people worked on the assignment without submitting the form - if you forgot to submit, the form is still open. We'll take your final commit + blog time as your submission, not when you submitted the form.

We will return Assignment III marks along with the UNSW release of results.

Exam 🎩

You should all have your exam session and seat - if you have any issues here please email the exams team at exams@cse.unsw.edu.au.

You can find all of the content covered in last Thursday's exam revision lecture on this Confluence page , including questions, the recording and solutions. We've also fixed up some issues that were in the Theory Questions and Solutions .

I'll send out an email on Tuesday with the final pieces of exam information.

myExperience 🏅

We only got to 64% on the myExperience - so no bonus course mark unfortunately. Thank you to everyone who submitted - we will take on board all the feedback and use it to improve the course.

Very Important Poll Results ❤️

... that I asked in the Assignment III submission form.

I thought Barbie was better personally, but the people have spoken. There'll be an Oppenheimer-themed question in the exam :)
