How to do well at OR how not to flunk COMP3222

Dear COMP3222 Class of 20T3 - I have just finished marking - phew! Unfortunately, we're not allowed to reveal marks, but I can say that overall the class did very well, all things considered. There was (for me) a pleasing correlation between motivated and engaged students and good performance. There were a few mishaps, but not as many as usual, or as expected, given the remote nature of things this term. It did look like there was more effort and better results in the practical exam than the theory exam. A good number either completed or came close to completing a perfect solution! So I'm glad that on the whole you appear to have learnt a few new tricks.

I was thinking: it would be really helpful to have you guys tell your side of the story. What makes for a good experience and success in COMP3222, or if you now think you should have changed your ways a little, what would you do differently to do better at COMP3222? If you care to let me know below, I will anonymise your comments and provide them to next year's class. Alternatively, if you would prefer not to put your name to your comment below, I would love to hear from you by email, or you could ask someone else to pass your message along anonymously... I think your feedback would help future students. So thanks in advance for your thoughts. And all the best for your future studies!

Returning your lab kit

Would you please return your lab kit (if you have borrowed one) to Vicki in the CSE School Office on level 1 of K17 as soon as you can? Please attach a sticky note with your name on it to the box.

The CSE School Office is open 9am – 4pm on weekdays. Please ensure you have returned your kit by 4pm on Friday, 18 ^th December.

As mentioned in the Course Outline, if you do not return your kit we may have to ask for a financial block to be placed on your zID, which can prevent you from enrolling in courses, delay graduation and block the issue of transcripts.
