  • Provisional results available

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Tuesday 17 December 2019, 12:45:23 AM.

    You can now check your provisional results for the course using the "Grades" icon next to your name. The exam marks are in the fields exam_q1a, exam_q1b, exam_q2, exam_q3a, exam_q3b, exam_q4, exam_q5 (for the Python questions) and exam_B for the multiple choice questions. The overall result for the course is in the field overall_mark. If your overall result is 50 or more, you have passed the course.

    Note that these results are provisional as they have not been approved by the university.

    If you see 1/1 next to the field forum_bonus, you are one of the 10 students who have been awarded one bonus mark for your active participation in the course forum.

    If you would like to view the details of your exam test outputs, you can come to my office (608/K17) on Wed 18 Dec at 3-4pm. If you want to do that, I will ask you to email me at c.t.chou@unsw.edu.au with your student number BEFORE 11am on Wed 18 Dec. This is so that I can print your test outputs and show them to you on paper. This will speed the process up.

    If you cannot make it this Wednesday, you can email me for an appointment.

    I hope you enjoyed ENGG1811 and will find it useful in the future. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

  • Pre-exam consultations

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Tuesday 03 December 2019, 10:20:45 AM.

    I am running the following pre-exam consultations where you can drop in to ask questions.

    • Consultation #1: Wed 4 Dec 12:15 - 1:15pm
    • Consultation #2: Fri 6 Dec 12:00 - 1:00pm

    Both consultations are in Room 608, Building K17.

  • Final exam: session allocation

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Thursday 21 November 2019, 02:22:48 PM.

    The ENGG1811 exam will take place on Tue 10 Dec. You will either be attending a morning or an afternoon session. You can check your allocation at:

    https://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~en1811/19T3/seating/final/register.cgi/allocations

    If your exam is in the morning , you will be told your lab and computer number. For example, kora24 means computer number 24 in the Kora lab. CSE computer labs are named after musical instruments. See below for the lab locations:

    If your exam is in the afternoon , you will be told your corralling room where you will wait before being taken to your lab by the exam supervisor. The afternoon exam times include the wait in the corralling room. You cannot take the exam if you arrive after 12:30 .

    Students take the same exam whether morning or afternoon. Hence, the afternoon students must be corralled to avoid any communication with students who have just finished their morning exam. Students attending the morning session will not be allowed to leave early.

    Bring pens and student ID card . No calculator required. Rough work paper provided. See Week 10's Lecture for information on the exam as well as a list of documents available to you during the exam.

    Go to the toilet before your exam.

    All the best with your exam!

  • Final version of the code for this week's lectures

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Wednesday 18 September 2019, 02:47:09 PM.

    As explained in the lecture earlier today, I would post preliminary version of the code before the lecture so that you can work on it in the lecture and post the final version of the code after the lecture on Wednesday.

    You can find this week's code under Week 1's lecture, and looked for "Code (Preliminary)" and "Code (Final)". You can download each file individually or you can download a zip file which contains all the files.

    If you are attending the lectures, it would be a good idea to download the preliminary code files before coming to the lecture.
