Goodbye

Posted by Wen Hu Thursday 15 August 2024, 04:21:39 PM.

I have finalized the marks in SMS (please allow 24 hours for the systems to sync). I’ve added a 1.5 bonus mark to your project’s final result to reflect the high myExperience return rate, and an additional 0 to 1 bonus mark to your project progress result based on Week 9 guest lecture attendance, as per the rules published earlier.

I’m very impressed by the quality of the projects. I would like to especially highlight the following project and team (members' names are omitted for privacy):

"RGB LED Bulbs for Communication, Harvesting, and Sensing in Smart Farming" by Team IoT Wizards

I hope you all enjoyed the course. Congratulations to those of you graduating this term! If you’re continuing at uni in T3, I wish you a great short break and hope to see you in other courses.

If you haven't done so, please contact your tutor to return your loaned device.

All the best !!
