Note that the version of uuInOut used here is a little different

 from what you have access to . You may need to change bits in the

Old Notices

Please note that in view of the AUT strike this week, the deadline for submission of Assignment 3 has been changed to 8 March, 2004.

27 January, 2004

Assessment of the course will be assessed based on six assignments that are made available below. While only the best four assignments per student will be used to assign a mark for the module, you are encouraged to hand in all six assignments as these will prepare you for the class test.

A class test, that will account for 50% of the mark, will be held in Week 12. The duration of the test will be 2 hours. The test paper will consist of five questions. The first question will be compulsory (constituting 50 marks) while the student will be able to choose any two of the remaining four questions (25 marks each) to answer.
