Some Exam Information

Posted by Stephen Chuang Thursday 21 November 2024, 04:08:04 PM.

A document describing the exam environment has been released under the 'Exam' section on this website. Please read it carefully and familiarise yourself with using a terminal and at least one of the editors available (doing the mini-exams in an exam-like environment is a good way to practice this). Don't be that one student who asks how to open a text editor during the exam (it has happened in previous years).

Another mini-exam containing two questions on lemmas has also been released to help with your exam preparation. As always, there will be forum assistance for the mini-exams and the other Practice and Play exercises.

The myExperience response rate has reached 42%, so the Bonus Upgrade Mark policy is still within reach. The survey closes tonight, so fill it out as soon as you can!

myExperience Update

Posted by Stephen Chuang Wednesday 20 November 2024, 05:25:21 PM.

The response rate is at approximately 26% so far. Still a decent way to go before the Bonus Upgrade Mark policy is implemented.

In 2021 which was a rather exceptional year for this policy, 13 students went up a grade.

Don't fall victim to the bystander effect and assume other people will do the myExperience survey. Completing the survey will provide valuable feedback that can be used to improve this course in the future.

A Few Study Period Reminders

The Bonus Upgrade Mark policy gives a bonus mark to students with a mark of 49, 64, 74 or 84 to upgrade them to the next grade. This policy will be applied if the myExperience response rate reaches 66.66%. Don't forget to fill it out and encourage your classmates to do so as well! myExperience is due at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday 21 November . The current response rate is about 10%.

As we move into week 11, the late penalty for assignment 2 will continue to accumulate by the day and will be deducted from your obtained mark. If you don't have an approved extension, please try to submit assignment 2 as soon as you can. At the moment, about 68% of students have submitted.

You should now have all your marks for the six quizzes. Take your total mark out of 70 (quiz 1 was worth 20 marks) and that will contribute 10% towards your grade.

Mini-Exams Now Available

Posted by Stephen Chuang Monday 18 November 2024, 11:13:10 AM, last modified Monday 18 November 2024, 01:38:59 PM.

Four One mini-exam has been opened under the Practice and Play section. These are great practice for the final exam.

Forum help will be available for the mini-exams.

Solutions will be released starting from the end of this week.

Update: The rest of the mini-exams still need a bit more work before they can be released, so focus on the first mini-exam for now.

Assignment 2 Due Tomorrow

Posted by Stephen Chuang Saturday 16 November 2024, 09:50:29 AM.

Good morning! Assignment 2 is due at 9 p.m. on Sunday 17 November unless you have an approved extension.

Continue to use the forum for any questions about the assignment. The forum may be busy this weekend, so there is no guarantee your question can be answered in time if you post it too close to the deadline.

Some mini-exams will be released after the assignment is due. These are great practice for the final exam on 4 December.
