Foundations of Computer Science COMP9020 23T3

Assignment, quiz, formatif marks available

Posted by Paul Hunter Thursday 14 December 2023, 01:59:24 AM.

Hi all,

Thanks to a gargantuan effort from the marking team, we have managed to mark all the assignments, formatif tasks, quizzes (though these were automarked), and the exam, so you will be receiving a grade for COMP9020 tomorrow morning.

It is against university policy to release the final exam mark until after the official release of results, however your grades for all the other assessment items can be found here . (NB quiz_overall is the calculated grade of your best 8 quizzes).

Please let me know if there are any major omissions - although these are the marks that were submitted for your final grade, it is still possible to make amendments for significant omissions even after your grades have been released. A reminder also about this comment concerning quiz grades.

I am always happy to answer any questions you have about any assessment grade.

Feel free to say hi if you see me around campus, and feel free to drop into any of my other lectures. I'm always on the lookout for former students to help with marking, or improving the tools we use, or just encouraging future cohorts - so if you're interested, drop me an email.

I too am approaching tomorrow with trepidation - I am anxiously awaiting your myExperience feedback...

All the best,

Paul

Formatif update

Posted by Paul Hunter Saturday 02 December 2023, 06:40:29 PM.

Hi all,

The marking team are currently clearing the formatif tasks. As feedback is not particularly helpful any more, please ignore any task change of status - we are using them to get a wider picture of how many tasks were undertaken.

I am still trying to find out about portfolio creation - at the end of the day, it may be that you don't create portfolios (we can still assess task completion without this step).

Final exam starting in 20 minutes

Hi all,

This is just a reminder that the final exam for COMP9020 will be available on inspera in 20 minutes. You have 3 hours and 15 minutes to complete the exam from the time you start , so you don't have to access it immediately after it becomes available (however the exam closes at 6pm AEDST, so if you start too much later you will not have the full time).

If you have some time, please view my ed post here about exam misconduct.

A reminder that if there are any issues/questions/queries, then your first point of contact should be the exams team : exams@unsw.edu.au . Include me in any correspondence if you wish. If there are any announcements to be made, the exams team can broadcast it to the entire cohort.

I will shortly be closing ed for comments (it will be read only) for the duration of the exam. You can access any and all pages on the course website, including the symbol toolbar and the LaTeX-to-inspera-friendly-text converter.

Remember that this is your chance to demonstrate ability and understanding - always look for opportunities to do so! (Journey before destination).

All the best,

Paul
