Hi all,
Hope that the prep for the final exam is going well, and that you have enjoyed the course.
(A) Sample Exam Video
Some of you have reported that you missed the deadline of the sample inspera exam (which I will humbly point out was announced in advance).
However, to help you prepare for the final exam, I have uploaded a video of the sample exam on echo360 page for the course: https://echo360.net.au/lesson/2683b5ba-c2fe-448d-aca7-003ca6132150/classroom (Background score credit: Spotify ;) )

You are required to not download, store or share the video or any of its derivatives including screenshots.
Note: THE EXAM DOES NOT REFLECT THE NATURE, NUMBER, MARKS OR DIFFICULTY OF QUESTIONS IN THE FINAL EXAM.
Please note that I am unable to provide answers at this stage. This is only fair since the answers to MCQs were, in fact, available to the ~160 of you who did complete the sample exam within the specified time. I have also responded to a post about the subjective question on the forum.
(B) Cheat sheet
The A4 cheat sheet must be handwritten - and you can write on both sides of the sheet and in any language or form (i.e., diagrams, etc.). Printouts of notes taken on a digital device (such as ipad) are explicitly disallowed by UNSW Exams . In fact, the final exam (including the sample exam) has a clear instruction stating so (see screenshot below). These instructions are specified by UNSW, and not made up by me. :)
It will be a fun experience to go old-school and use pen-paper to make your cheat sheet. Try it out! ;)
Good luck for the final exam.
Regards,
Adi
