There is no lecture this week (we have completed the course last week!!!), and I hope everyone has started preparations for the final exam. Please do not forget to check out the final exam page for the details of the exam.
In addition to Ed Forum , we will be available for final exam consultation. Please see this page for the detailed information of the consultation.
- Although we have arranged 6 different time slots spreading Weeks 11 and 12, please start the preparation early and don't leave it to the last minute/time slot.

Thanks to those of you who have completed the myExperience Surveys . The response rate is 23%, which is less than those of uni (31%), faculty (26%) and school (31%). Furthermore, it took us more than 75% of the survey duration to achieve 23% and the response rate is very low. Could I please request everyone else to complete the surveys before they close? The link is HERE , we would appreciate your feedback very much!

Here are a few important announcements for Week 10, which will be the last teaching week of this term:

In the lectures, we will wrap up the Link layer, which we started last week and then move on to Wireless Network. The lecture slides are available .
Lab 5 will be due on 12/11/2024 (Tuesday) 10am.This week, a tutorial will replace the lab (in your usual labs). This will serve as useful practice for the final exam. Please look through the questions before hand and try to solve them by yourself. All questions on the tutorial are from past exams. So effectively, it is a sample exam.
Please complete the myExperience surveys . The response rate so far is very low (e.g., ~6%), and we would appreciate your feedback very much.
The final exam will be held on campus via Inspera (invigilated) . We have made available several resources for the final exam, including a practice exam. The final exam will be held at:
- - COMP9331: 1:45pm to 4pm, 30/11/24 (Sat),
  - COMP3331: 9:45am to 12pm, 02/12/24 (Mon),

Several announcements for Week 9 (final two weeks !!):

In Week 9's lectures, we will wrap up network layer before moving on to data link layer . Lecture slides are available.
Lab 4 will be due at 10:00am Tue 5 November.
The assignment deadline of 11:50am, Fri 08 November , is also approaching. This is a HARD deadline. Late submissions will be accepted but are subject to penalties as noted in the specification. Attend the assignment consultations if you need help. Details are HERE .
IMPORTANT : We appreciate that many of you prefer to write code on your personal machine and in your preferred IDE (e.g. Eclipse). However, your assignment will be marked in the VLAB environment and through command-line execution. Thus, you must thoroughly test your code in VLAB before you submit it. If we cannot execute your code, then we cannot award you any marks . Please pay attention to this point to avoid any angst when marks are released.

Enjoy your weekend!
