  • Final exams: Resources you can access

    Posted by Sushmita Ruj Thursday 27 April 2023, 12:21:30 PM.

    Dear All,

    Like the sample test, you will have access to all the lecture slides and the codes on the Lecture page.

    https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/COMP2521/23T1/resources/83818

    These are the only resources you will have access to. You cannot access the codes you wrote in your labs or assignments and you will not have access to the Internet.

    All the best!

  • Sample Exam

    Posted by Kevin Luxa 🦉 Friday 21 April 2023, 04:09:42 PM, last modified Friday 21 April 2023, 04:46:06 PM.

    Hi everyone,

    The sample exam is now available at https://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cs2521/23T1/sample-exam . (Note: You will be asked to log in.)

    We highly recommend you attempt this under self-imposed exam conditions (no communication, can only access lecture slides and lecture code) so you have a realistic idea of how much of the course content you understand and how quickly you can solve programming problems.

    The solutions to the sample exam will be released on Monday morning. Please make sure you attempt the sample exam before reading the solutions.

  • Final Exam: Overseas students

    Posted by Sushmita Ruj Wednesday 19 April 2023, 09:29:34 AM.

    Dear All,

    If you are overseas and cannot be present on 28 April for the final exam, you can take a supplementary exam in Week 0, term 2. Please send us an email to request a supplementary exam. We will inform you the next steps on email. By default we will assume that you will be present on 28 April.

    Please send the email by Saturday 22 April, 2023 to the course admin account cs2521 AT cse dot unsw dot edu dot au. Please DO NOT email special consideration.

    Please note this only for students who are overseas, it does not apply to students who are in Australia.

    Thank you,

    Sushmita

  • Final Exam

    Posted by Sushmita Ruj Thursday 06 April 2023, 06:53:55 AM, last modified Tuesday 18 April 2023, 04:21:44 PM.

    Final exam dates have now been finalised. COMP2521 will be held on Friday 28 April, 2023. This is an in-person exam in our CSE labs. It is mentioned as a whole day exam, meaning students will be assigned exam slots, as there are many of you to accommodate in the labs all together. All clashes will be avoided for all those who are taking two exams on the day.

    You will be using the computers in the CSE Labs. You are not allowed to bring any peripherals like keyboard, mouse, monitor, unless you have valid reason like a disability. For all such cases please ask for special considerations.

    The exam is closed book; you are not allowed to bring any notes or content in usb sticks. We will load some preliminary content to help you during your exam. We will put up a list of such content well ahead of your exams.

    Overseas students who cannot be present on the day of the exam can take a supplementary exam in week 0 of Term 23T2. We will provide details about applying for this at a later date.

    Wish you all the best!

    Happy Easter!

    The assignment tests your understanding of graph algorithms and your ability to apply them.

  • Quiz03 Submission Issues

    Posted by Ethan Brown 💜 Tuesday 14 March 2023, 04:54:58 PM.

    Hi All,

    There have been some issues with quiz03 question 2, and we currently have no ETA on a fix. As such, we have opened a second quiz, with exactly the same questions, which should work. Once marks get loaded in we will take your latest submission from either quiz; quiz03 or quiz03 fix.
    If you're fine with your quiz03 submission, or don't have an issue with question 2 loading, feel free to ignore this. Otherwise, please make a submission to quiz03 fix. If you make a submission to both, we will take the most recent between the two.

    The deadline has been moved to 10am Thursday the 16th of March to give students time to read this notice and make an attempt.


  • Assignment 1 Released

    Posted by Ethan Brown 💜 Saturday 11 March 2023, 02:09:59 PM.

    Hi All,

    The first assignment has now been released! It can be found here . The assignment tests your knowledge on balanced binary search trees and their implementation and is worth 15% of your final grade. Please be sure to read the entire assignment specification before asking questions on the forums or getting started.

    The due date is Wednesday week 7, which is the 29 th of March. Please be sure to get started earlier rather than later, since you'll need to not only write your code and answers, but also leave time to test for and debug problems as they arise. We will provide some test driver code and tests at a later date, though they will only be testing basic cases; you are expected to do your own testing. We will discuss the assignment briefly in lectures.

    As always, all the best to everyone!
