Change to examination format for Creative computing I : image, sound, motion (CO1112)
This year, there well be a change to the examination format over previous years, and we want to give students advance warning of this.
In previous years, you had a choice of four (4) out of six questions.
This year, you must complete Question 1, as well as three (3) other questions out of the remaining five.
So, you must complete four questions out of six, but one of them must be Question 1.
Question 1 is made up of multiple choice questions. For Question 1, you need only write down the answers for each of the multiple choice questions.
So for Q1 (b), if you believe that the correct answer is (iii), then you need only write (b) --- (iii)
in your answer booklet, under Question 1. The same applies for all the other questions in Question 1.
Please note that some of the multiple choice questions may have more than one answer. You are expected to choose all of the correct answers. However, if you do choose incorrect answers, marks will be subtracted.
You will never get a negative number of marks for each multiple choice question. For example, if Q1 (a) has correct answers (i) and (iv) (worth say 2 marks each), and you chose (i) (ii) and (iii), you would get 2 - 2 2, which is -2, but your total for Q1 (a) would be 0. If you chose (i), (ii) and (iv), you would get 2 + 2 - 2, which is 2. Note that not all subparts are worth 2 marks, nor is 2 marks always deducted for an incorrect choice. This is only to illustrate how marks might get allocated, and to demonstrate that for each question, the lower limit is zero.
As with all examinations, it is important that you read the rubric on the front cover, which gives instructions as to how to answer the paper.
Change to examination format - Project (CO3320)
This year, there will be a change to the examination format over previous years, and we want to give students advance warning of this.
In previous years, students were asked to attempt all four questions.
This year, you are expected to complete three (3) out of four. So, you are given a choice as to which questions you complete. All questions are worth equal marks, and the paper itself is out of 75 marks.
Please note that if you complete all four, we will only mark the first three that you answer, as explained in previous messages about examinations in which you have a choice of which questions to answer.
As with all examinations, it is important that you read the rubric on the front cover, which gives instructions as to how to answer the paper.
