  • Important COMP2521 Final Exam Update

    Posted by Tahereh Hassanzadeh Thursday 06 August 2026, 08:01:22 PM.

    Only 24% of students have completed the MyExperience survey. Therefore, no programming question topics will be revealed before the final exam .

    The final exam is worth 100 marks :

    • Programming section: 50 marks
      • Five programming questions
      • Each question is worth 10 marks
    • Theory section: 50 marks

    Tries and Heaps will NOT be included in the programming section.

    However, Tries and Heaps may still be included in the theory section . Therefore, you must study all course content for the theory section.

    Please note: only the programming questions on Tries and Heaps are excluded. The topics themselves are not excluded from the exam .

    I still encourage you to complete the MyExperience survey. Your constructive feedback is valuable and helps us improve the course.

    It has been a pleasure lecturing you this term. I wish you all the best for the final exam.

    Hello Everyone,

    The UNSW Competitive Programming and Mathematics Society (CPMSoc) will run a Graph Theory workshop covering topics relevant to COMP2521, including:

    • Euler and Hamiltonian paths and cycles
    • Kruskal’s algorithm
    • Dijkstra’s algorithm
    • Theoretical foundations of graph algorithms

    Date: Wednesday, Week 10
    Time: 3:00–5:00 pm
    Format: Hybrid

    In-person location: Tyree Energy Technologies Building, LG05
    Online: YouTube livestream via the CPMSoc channel:
