And if you fix a problem by following a suggestion here,
it would be great if other interested students could see a short

This should now be corrected. It looks like for one specific question, the incorrect option was recorded in Moodle as being worth "-100 ", when it should've been recorded as being worth "0".

That looks correct to me. "RACC" is a type of coverage used for logic-based testing, so it cannot apply to ISP. Possible levels of choice for ISP include "base choice", "all combinations". (There are also a few other ISP coverage levels mentioned in ...
Hi Arran,
For the long answer question part 3, I received the comment "3) reasoning very weak, shows poor understanding. It's impossible to have "ISP testing with RACC coverage". 0 5"
I was under the impression that ISP could subsume RACC coverage if t...
Hi Abhinav,
That's definitely an error questions shouldn't have negative marks. I don't know which question "question 22" is every student gets questions in a different order, and in fact a slightly different selection of questions but if ...
Hi Arran,
I know this is pretty quick but while I was having a look through the mid-sem marking and feedback, one of the questions namely question 22 was marked -2 out of 2.
My understanding is that if we get a question wrong we are not awarded the ma...
Hi,
The paper-based exam will have no multiple choice short answer questions, but other than that, the labs and the mid-semester test are still a good guide to the sorts of tasks you might be asked to do.
If you look at the "Assessments" page on the C...
Hi Arran,
Obviously the exam is a long way away still but I thought I'll mention it now. The unit page mentions for the Moodle exam that "However, the labs and earlier quizzes and tests provide a good guide to the sort of questions you may be asked."

Hi everyone,
I mentioned in lectures that due to the large class size this year (280 students) and the fact that this would be the first CITS5501 exam run on students' own devices (as the labs now have no computers), there might be a change of exam an...
Hi,
For the mid-semester test, it's assumed you've done the prescribed reading on syntax-based testing (Amman and Offutt chapter 9) and at least read through the slides.
There won't be any questions on randomised testing, though.

Hi Arran,
I have read the FAQ about examinable content being "for all weeks up to and including the week prior to the test, quiz or exam".
I want to check for the mid-sem test on week 7 Will the remainder of Lecture 6a syntax-based testing that we d...
Hi all,
You should now be able to access marks and feedback for the quiz on Moodle (and marks should also be visible in csmarks csmarks ). If you can't access the marks, feel free to post here and let me know.
The quiz should have been very straightf...
hello, I can see on moodle that I need to find the section titled "week 4 quiz password", however I can't seem to find this section on my LMS. I have attached a screenshot of the sections I have.
Sorry I know the quiz has only just opened but I am k...
Hi Josh,
The CITS5501 website FAQ (https cits5501.github.io faq ) states what's examinable for all assessments.
I encourage students to read through the website - many questions students may have about the unit are answered there. In general, if inf...
