The exam will be held on Moodle on 1st May 2024 from 9:00 am to 11:00 am. The exam is not invigilated. Therefore, you can attend from home. University policies for online exams apply. (

)
What to expect:
-
The exam will consist of ten questions. You must correctly answer all questions to score full marks.
-
You can expect a mix of questions with multiple choice answers, short answers and essay-based answers.

The questions may be of the following types: (a) Write the pseudocode for.. , (b) Explain this code for…, (c) Design an NLP system for.. . (d) Explain this method… (e) Give examples where… (f) Explain architectural choices …. ,etc.
-
The above is not a complete list but should be used as a broad indicator of what to expect.
-
A practice exam is now available on Moodle. Please take a look and feel free to ask questions about the practice exam in the forum.
-
You will not be required to write code, draw
diagrams or upload photos of handwritten material during the exam.
During the exam:
-
On the day, please read all instructions on the Moodle page for the final exam before you start answering.
-
Answer the questions on your own, to the best of your ability. If you need to make assumptions, state them in your answer.
-
Please remember to add justifications where possible. We may be able to award partial marks in case your answer is wrong.
-
You may use a handwritten A4 sheet and a UNSW-approved calculator during the exam. You must not use any other external resources.
-
Apart from the two mentioned above, the use of AI tools, books, notes or any other external help constitutes cheating.
-
Do not post questions on the forum during the exam. Such posts will be deleted.
-
Please contact the Special Considerations team, if required. I am not authorized to grant them.
-
You may email me during the exam in an emergency situation. However, I may not respond to emails that seek clarifications that will be unfair to the class.
-
Cheating will be reported.
There will be no in-person consultation next Monday. However, if you want to discuss the course material before the exam, please email me to schedule a time or post questions on the forum.

Good luck! :)

Aditya
