A mock exam is now available via the course Moodle .

Please note that while the mock exam is Inspera-based, it does not require Safe Exam Browser (SEB). The final exam will require SEB, so please refer to Helen’s previous announcement to ensure you are exam-ready.

Good luck with all of your exam preparations!

Week 9 Lectures

Posted by Helen Paik Wednesday 15 April 2026, 05:11:28 PM.

Hello everyone,

This is at least one message channel I know will reach the entire class!

Unfortunately, our Week 9 Monday lecture was disrupted due to a safety incident at the lecture building, and access to the venue was restricted for several hours. As it is not feasible to reschedule a replacement lecture, I have uploaded a video recording of the String Algorithms – Part 1 lecture from a previous term.

On Thursday (tomorrow) , Dr John Shepherd will be guest lecturing. He will briefly review Part 1 and then complete the second half of the String Algorithms content.

I will return in Week 10 , and rest assured that we will cover all final exam information then.

Kind regards,
Helen
