Tutorials provide an opportunity to discuss problems and answer questions in a small group setting. The practicals for the course give 'hands-on' experience in computer programming. Attendance Policy Class attendance is expected. The lecture material, tutorials and laboratory practicals are all integral parts of the course. Failure to attend any of these means the student may miss material not presented elsewhere.
Students are responsible for all material covered in class.
All of the tests are 'essential assessment items' of the course and attendance is compulsory. The practical tests involve programming a segment of code in the lab. The code will be automatically graded to see if it works, and then hand graded based on the style, legibility and quality of the code. Due to the size of the class, tests will be run in multiple sessions. The tests for each session are different, but are similar in material and level of difficulty.
