The final exam is now visible on Moodle. You may start reading its instructions, though you cannot start attempting the questions until 1:30pm (AEDT).
Please read the exam instructions carefully before you start attempting the exam.
This exam has been checked and attempted by two tutors. We're not expecting any questions, and if any, the answer is probably to be "the question is as it is written". Nevertheless, if you have questions, please email cs6714@cse.unsw.edu.au via a UNSW email account during the exam.
We have sent your project result to your CSE/UNSW email. If you have any questions, please follow the instructions in the email.
We are finalizing the marks (almost there) and they shall be completed by tomorrow sometime. It will then be emailed to you tomorrow. Once it's done, I will post another Notice.
Meanwhile, you can check and run the marking test scripts by:
1) log in to a CSE linux machine and go to the folder containing your index.py and search.py
2) run ~cs6714/reuters/autotest
Note that the script assumes that your index.py will create a new given index folder called idx. Some of your submissions did not do so and we had to manually create the directory. So if you are one of them, you will need to create the folder manually every time before you run the script above.
If you have any questions, post them in the Ed Forums (or come to the special consultations).
Two special consultation sessions (for last minute exam help / anything else) are scheduled as follows:
Friday 25/11 19:30-20:30 Sydney time Monday 28/11 19:30-20:30 Sydney time
Online sessions via Blackboard Collaborate (click Course Room to join, as described in Lecture 1).
I injured my foot today and are not allowed to sit up for at least the next few days. If you've urgent matters, please email to cs6714@cse and maybe other tutors will be able to help you.
For general course questions and matters, you can also post them to the Ed forums, or attend the special consultation sessions (details in the next Notice).
Your final exam is scheduled for Thursday 1 December 2022 13:30-15:30 (AEDT).
Carefully read through the instructions (i.e., the exam conditions and structure) on the exam paper before you start.
If you have clarification questions, please email cs6714@cse.unsw.edu.au via a UNSW email account (in case external emails are filtered) during the exam.
Same as normal exam papers, this exam has been checked by at least one other staff member. We rarely got questions during previous exams, and if we did, the answer would usually be " the question is as it is written ". We're not expecting it to be any different in this exam.
The 2-hr exam paper will be released and available in Moodle . Further details about the exam and other important information related to COMP6714 have been discussed in the last live lecture. Please watch the lecture recording before you post any questions .
I have made a sample exam paper available (in Moodle) to help you prepare for the exam. While most of its questions are just repurposing of from the assignment and the lectures (so you can find their answers), the main purpose of the sample paper is for you to get familiar with the exam format and style, so you can prepare and ask any general questions in advance (Please post your questions in the Ed forum ). Read through the instructions before you start, e.g., you can only attempt it once in the actual exam.
Please note that consultations are still on for this week. We will announce later regarding special consultation sessions (as mentioned in the last live lecture) in case you have questions when you study for the exam.
You can find your assignment raw marks (without any applicable late penalty) and review your attempt on Moodle .
Selected assignment questions & answers will be discussed in the coming live lecture. If you still have questions (after the live lecture), please come to the consultations .
The programming project specification is available (project due: Monday 7th November 12:00 noon AEST). If you have any questions, please post them on the Ed forum .
The deadline for the assignment has just passed. You may still submit now but it will be considered as a late submission. Please refer to the course outline for the late penalty.
If you have already submitted your final attempt before 12noon today, please do not submit it again now because it will be counted as a late submission.
Just a reminder that you need to click " finish attempt " (and then click " submit all and finish ") to submit your assignment answers. Otherwise they will NOT be submitted and marked.
Assignment 1 is available on Moodle (due: Fri day 7th October at 12:00 noon ) . It will be discussed in the live lecture this week.
Check the timetable for details. Please do not hesitate to join if you have any questions.
