  • Peer Review Form

    Posted by Fatemeh Barazesh Morgani Tuesday 04 August 2026, 09:12:28 AM.

    Dear Students,

    The Peer Group Assessment form is now available on WebCMS under the Project section.

    You do not need to submit a Peer Group Assessment form if you believe everyone contributed equally to your team or if there are no concerns regarding someone's contribution to the project.

    Once you fill it out, please email it to cs9444@cse.unsw.edu.au.

    The deadline for submitting a Peer Group Assessment form is 14 August 2026, 11:59 pm. Any submissions after 14 August will not be considered for adjusting project marks, given there is a tight timeline for releasing and uploading marks.

    Best regards,
    COMP9444 Admin Team

  • COMP9444 – Project Submission Deadline and Guidelines

    Posted by Fatemeh Barazesh Morgani Monday 27 July 2026, 12:44:22 PM.

    Dear Students,

    The deadline for the COMP9444 Project Submission is:

    Monday, 10 August, 5:00 PM

    Please carefully follow the guidelines below for your submission.

    What to Submit

    Each team must submit the following:

    • Project code (Jupyter Notebook)
    • Project summary report (in .docx or .pdf format)
    • Presentation slides (in .ppt or .pdf format)

    You may compress these files into a single ZIP file before submitting.

    How to Submit

    Please email your submission to your mentor. You can find your mentor's contact information here:

    https://moodle.telt.unsw.edu.au/mod/page/view.php?id=8704936

    Please:

    • CC all team members (to ensure transparency and consent)
    • CC cs9444@cse.unsw.edu.au
    • Use your group name as the email subject (e.g., Group 23 – Project Submission)

    Due to potential file size limitations, please do not attach large files directly to the email. Instead:

    • Share the files via Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive.
    • Make sure your tutor has permission to view or download the files.

    Important Notes

    • Only one Jupyter Notebook should be submitted per group.
    • Ensure that all notebook cells have been executed so that all outputs are visible. Markers will not re-run your code during marking.
    • Please use the Project Summary Report Template, available on:
      WebCMS3 → Project → Project Report Template

    Teamwork

    This is a group project. The aim is for all team members to work together towards a common outcome. Your presentation and submission should reflect a collaborative effort rather than individual work.

    Thanks,
    COMP9444 Admin Team

  • COMP9444 Group Project Presentations (Week 10)

    Posted by Fatemeh Barazesh Morgani Friday 24 July 2026, 11:53:33 AM.

    Hi Dear Students,

    As we approach Week 10, please note the following important points regarding your group project presentations:

    • Your final presentation will take place during the mentoring session assigned to your team. Please ensure your team attends your scheduled mentoring session to present your project.
    • Each team will have a maximum of 15 minutes , including:
      • 12 minutes for the presentation
      • 3 minutes for Q&A
    • It is essential that all group members attend the final presentation. Since the project includes both individual and group-based marks, students who do not attend will lose marks.
    • Two mentors will assess your presentation using the marking rubric, and your final presentation mark will be the average of the two scores.
    • Live presentations are required. All group members must be present during both the presentation and Q&A.
    • Please use the project presentation template, which is available in WebCMS:
      WebCMS3 > Project > Project Presentation Template
    • We highly recommend the following:
      • On the title slide, include the zID and name of each group member in the order of their presentation.
      • On each slide, clearly state the name and zID of the presenter as a footnote.

    Kind regards,
    COMP9444 Admin Team

  • Tutorial Change Requests – Important Information

    Posted by Zahra Donyavi Monday 01 June 2026, 02:30:33 PM.

    Dear COMP9444 Students,

    We have received many requests to change tutorial sessions to facilitate group formation. We appreciate your enthusiasm for getting started!

    Please note that tutorial sessions have limited capacity, so we ask that all students attend their originally enrolled tutorial sessions until the end of Week 5. This helps us manage scheduling and ensure a smooth experience for everyone.

    Group project sessions will begin in Week 7, and at that point we will do our best to move group members into the same tutorial session to support your collaborative work.

    Thank you for your understanding and patience. We look forward to working with you all!

    Best regards,
    COMP9444 Admin Team
