Test¶
- This is an Applied Core assessment, and you get a percentage grade. (Not a pass/fail Core assessment.)
- It is worth 50% of the module mark.
- It will be on campus only. It cannot be taken remotely.
- It will be through the Inspera assessment platform.
- Once you start the test you will get 2 hours to complete it. (As indicated by the MID)
- You do the test in your usual timetabled lab session on Week ➆: Thursday, 30 October, 9:00am.
The 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 Test is now available:
You can attempt it multiple times (up to 3 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.
