Exam results

There seems to be quite a few students who were disappointed about the final exam results. I just want to point out that I do apply strict marking criteria for final exam questions - and we don't tend to mark based on 'effort'/'sympathy' for exam. This means even if you'd written something, you might have been given 0 because the answers were deemed not relevant.

As a result, just on the exam marking results, the average marks were on the low side.

It's your choice to apply for formal reviews, etc. But I am most certain that the tutors followed the marking instructions correctly. So unless there was a mistake in adding up marks, etc. your final exam marks are not likely to change.

The course results

Hello everyone,

Busy marking !! I have updated all mark components up to assignment 2. You should be able to check through WebCMS3. If you cannot see your marks, please contact me.

Also, just a forewarning for some students. Unfortunately, we have discovered a few misconduct cases in the final exam. I am obligated to report those cases with evidence to the relevant university authority - and those students will get "WD" until the cases are investigated and resolved. I presume the relevant office will follow up with those students. There is absolutely no point contacting me, as I cannot do anything for you if you happen to be one of those cases.

Anyway, for the majority of the class (!!), hope you enjoyed the course and learned something practical that you can take with you for the rest of your study. It was a pleasure to be in the course with you.

Exam closing at 5:15

any submission made after 5:15 is ignored (but we will allow for a few minutes of grace period, considering the network delay). Exam is closing now.
