Hi all,
Marks for the quiz are now available on csmarks, and feedback on individual questions should be viewable on Moodle.
The average mark for the quiz was 85%, which is excellent. Except for the very last one, the questions should all have been pretty straightforward; the ones people scored worst on (on average) were the questions to do with integer overflow. If you got any of those questions wrong, it's probably a good idea to review the lecture and lab material on integer overflow. If you got only 75% or less, that is significantly lower than the class average, and indicates there could be something lacking in either your approach to revision, or you understanding of concepts covered in class. If that's the case, you should make changes to the way you're studying: take a look at some study suggestions here, and contact me if you have any queries. Please do not simply do nothing, and expect your marks to improve! That is unlikely to happen; the assessments will get harder, not easier.
Anyone who was unable to sit the test for illness or other valid reasons will be shown as "Deferred" on csmarks (there may be a more appropriate notation, but I do not know it if so), but anyone who was absent without reason will be shown as having been awarded 0 marks.
If you were unable to sit the test due to illness etc. but would still like to do so (unassessed) as practice/revision, that is certainly possible. (I had intended to email those people earlier this week, but will have to do so during the break, instead.)
Enjoy your long weekend, and I hope you have a productive study break.
Cheers
Arran
