Exam information
Hope you have learnt a lot about Machine Learning throughout your time with us the past two months!
As you are aware, your final exam will happen in Week 11. All the best!
Here is some basic information about your exam:
- The exam will be held in person.
- You will answer all 3 out of 3 questions.
- The duration is 90 minutes.
- You will be writing out your answers by hand in a provided exam booklet.
- You may bring in at most one piece of A4 paper with your own notes (the department’s default). You can write/draw/print as much as you want on both sides, and you cannot bring in a magnifying glass (or equivalent) into the exam.
- Casio fx-85GTX calculators will be provided. You are not allowed to bring your own calculators.
- See the department’s guide for exam candidates for information about exam logistics.
- Past year exams are available on the department’s exam page.
- Papers from 2020/21 onwards follow the latest syllabus and exam structure/style.
- We have two editions of the course (Term 1 and Term 2) since 2019/20. Both share the same syllabus. Both are relevant.
- Ignore the module codes - we are as confused about them as you are! Look for Term 1 (or Term1) and Term 2 instead.
- 2019/20 (C553 and C395) follow the same syllabus, although the exams were “answer 2 out of 3 questions”
- See Scientia (under Misc) for last term’s paper (Term 1 2023/24)
- Official model answers are not provided for past year exams (departmental policy). Instead, official examiner feedback is provided since Term 2 2019/20:
- Examiner feedback for 2019/20 (term 2 only)
- Examiner feedback for 2020/21 (both terms)
- Examiner feedback for 2021/22 (both terms)
- Examiner feedback for 2022/23 (both terms)
- The instructors will stop answering questions on the Ed board 24 hours before the exam.
