Course Assessment

The course will consist of a project and an exam. The project will be handed out in Term 2 and will count for 50% of the final mark. The exam is in Term 3 and will be worth the other 50%.

Please note that there will also be a small progress test at the end of the first term. This will be held at 3pm-5pm on Wednesday of Week 10 in D0.04/D0.05. Though this progress test will not count towards your final mark, you are strongly encouraged to attend to self-assess your progress in light of the more difficult C++ material that will be covered in the second term.
