Coursework¶

Phase Test¶

This will be an online Moodle Quiz.

The phase test will be online only, not on campus.
Once you start the test you will get 2 hours to complete it.
You do the test during the 4-hour window 9am-1pm on Wednesday 27^th October, 2021.

Also, to be clear, this is the only assessment that contributes to your coursework mark, which is worth 50% of the module mark.

The Phase Test covers the first 5 weeks (Models of Computation: DFA, NFA, PDA, CFG), assessing learning outcomes 1 and 2.

Week	Theme	Lecture
1	Introduction	Problems!
2	Models of Computation	DFAs & NFA
3	Models of Computation	NFA equiv. DFA & Regular Expressions
4	Models of Computation	Limits of the Regular Languages, Grammars
5	Models of Computation	Context-Free Languages (CFLs) [PDAs/CFGs]

Practice test¶

The Practice Phase-Test is now available.

Attempt the Practice Test

You can attempt it multiple times, but I recommend you only attempt it every other day or so after reviewing the weak areas you discovered on your previous attempt.

Tip

Memorising answers to the practice test is of very little value.
