  • assignment 2 and total exam marks avalible, plus supplementary exam info

    Posted by Dylan Brotherston 🕴️ Monday 01 September 2025, 10:31:35 PM.

    Hi everyone,

    Assignment 2 marks are now available.
    Similar to assignment 1, you can view your marks as follows:
    Either here: https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/COMP3311/25T2/resources/112151 under the "Collect Submission" tab
    Or by running 3311 classrun -collect ass2 on a CSE server.

    You can also view your total exam mark:
    Either here: https://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~give/code/login.php?app=/~give/Student/sturec.php
    Or by running 3311 classrun -sturec on a CSE server.

    The final exam has been scaled, fairly heavily on the low end.
    The exam mark that you see doesn't include scaling.
    A raw exam mark of 15/60 will scale to a 24/60 (40%) and will pass the hurdle requirement.
    Less scaling is applied the higher the original mark.

    On Thursday, when marks are released, anyone who has been given a supplementary exam by special consideration will see an LE grade, this will remain until the supplementary exam is marked.

    The COMP3311 supplementary exam will be between the 10th and 12th of September.
    We do not know the exact date yet.
    If you will be sitting the supplementary exam, you will be emailed by the CSE Exams team by Thursday this week.

    The COMP3311 supplementary exam will be of the same format: same number of questions, same topics, as the final exam.
    The supplementary exam database may be the same as the final exam or may be different.
    The supplementary exam database will be confirmed on Sunday.

    If you are a potential graduate and failed the course, that is: failing COMP3311 would stop you from graduating this trimester.
    Yyou will be offered another chance to sit the exam.
    The CSE Exams team will email you on Friday.

    Hi Everyone,

    Welcome to the Term 2 offering of COMP3311 in 2025.

    Here you will find links to all the course material.

    Moodle will only be used to access Online Help Sessions (starting week3) and lecture recordings in Echo360.

    Our first lecture is today (Monday) at 1PM in Colombo Theatre A
    https://www.learningenvironments.unsw.edu.au/physical-spaces/k-b16/k-b16-lg03

    The recording will be avalible in Echo afterweards.
    From week02 onward lectures will be viewable live in echo360, but this takes time for IT to setup so will not be avalible for the first lecture.

    We also have lectures on Thursdays at 2PM in Patricia OShane 104 (formerly the Central Lecture Block)
    https://www.learningenvironments.unsw.edu.au/physical-spaces/k-e19/k-e19-104

    COMP3311 runs 1.5 hour Tutorals starting week02 ( NOT THIS WEEK ).
    We have a fantasic team of 12 tutors who will be teaching tutorials this term.
    We have no online tutorials this term, so no recordings will be avalible.

    COMP3311 will be using DIscourse as our course forum, infomation on how to access Discourse is avalible on the course website:
    https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/COMP3311/25T2/resources/112180
