Hey mate, not from the teaching staff but I'm pretty sure something like that wouldn't really matter. I think the markers are mainly checking that your code makes sense in the context of the question. Probably safer not to use it unless asked to demo...

Hi, I noticed that last year's exam focused more on understanding Java concepts. Since this year is an open-book exam, will there be more code-writing questions? Will the exam include more coding questions or more theoretical description questions of...

ANONYMOUS wrote I don't want memory to be a larger component of the exam than it has to be. None of the learning outcomes for this unit require rote memorization, but rather are based on understanding and skills. A book can only remember things, not u...

Hi, I was just wondering for the final exam, what was kind-of the reasoning behind making this year's exam open book? (for example - was it to make the theory questions more difficult or something else?). I was just asking to see what you guys are tr...

ANONYMOUS wrote I do not understand the relevance of the mid-semester test to your question. Last year's final exam has explicitly been provided as a sample of the format of a final exam. You may assume this year's will be similar (but not necessarily...

The mid sem test only had multiple choice questions but the practice exam has a theory question that requires us to discuss. What kind of format should we be expecting from theory questions asked of us?
