Midterm test results
Posted by Michael Thielscher Tuesday 27 October 2026, 06:17:42 PM.
Your midterm test result is now available at https://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~give/code/login.php
There you can also obtain detailed feedback on your marks for each individual question under the Assignment tab under "midterm"; alternatively, you can log into a CSE lab computer, either physically or remotely, and then use the command line
9020 classrun 26T3 -collect midterm
Some statistical information about the mark distribution will be given in the Friday lecture.
A word on the marks for the multiple-choice questions: As promised, partial marks were given for partially correct answers, with 2 marks (out of 3) if one option was judged incorrectly, 1 mark if two options judged incorrectly (e.g. one correct option missing plus one wrong option ticked), 0.5 (three options judged wrongly), and 0.1 (four options judged wrongly).
Kudos to the six students who scored a perfect 26/26, well done!

Week 7
Posted by Michael Thielscher Tuesday 27 October 2026, 09:39:43 AM.
Just a reminder that there will be no lecture tomorrow (Wednesday), as I am making my way back from my short trip to Barcelona.
All tutorials will be held as normal, including a short quiz at the beginning, and the problem set for this week is available on WebCMS at the usual place.
The next lecture will be this week on Friday (30 Oct).
See you on Friday,

A reminder that the invigilated mid-session test will be held this week on Wednesday, 21 October, starting at 1pm, for 1 hour (plus 5mins reading time). The location for your test depends on your zID:

- 5732000 < your zID < 9999999 ⇒ Patricia O’Shane (E19) Room 104
(Note: This does not apply if you are a registered ELS student, in which case you have received an email with your exam location.)
Please come early but wait outside until we open the doors at 1pm. Please bring:- A blue or black pen (or two or three)
- Your student ID card
- A single A4-sheet with your own handwritten notes (double-sided is ok)
Other material will not be allowed. You will be asked to leave your bags near the entrance. Phones, watches, calculators etc. must remain in your bags (and please turn off your phone before placing it in your bag and taking a seat).
Best of luck, everyone.
