This year (2004/5) is the third year of the module CA107, Topics in
Computing. The home
page for the module from 2003/4, is available.
Exam Format: Many students
ask me about how this module is examined. As the module descriptor
says, there is no continuous assessment, and the module is examined by
a single, 2-hour examination. The format of this examination is that it
will consist of 5 questions, and you will be required to answer ANY THREE
of these questions. All questions will carry equal marks and each of the
five questions on the paper will ask something about ONE of the 11 topics
in the course. None of the 11 topics will be repeated twice. Each question
will be general, and broad. See Spring
2003 exam paper, and the
repeat (Autumn 2003) paper and the Spring
2004 exam paper (campus access only) for the kind of questions
that are likely to come up. There was no paper in Autumn 2004 (no students turned up for examination).
Timetable for the lectures: The
module will consist of 11 lectures and the schedule is below, but it is subject
to change as lectures might get swopped around.
