The Exam

The two practical assignments will together contribute a total of 50% of your final grade for the module. The remaining 50% will come from your mark in the written exam.

The exam will consist of five questions, of which you should answer four.

To give you an idea of what the questions will be like, here are some example questions, and an example exam paper.

Solutions for the example questions are:

• CountLists.maude
• CountList.java

Past papers

• the 2010-11 Exam paper.
• the 2010-11 resit paper.
• the 2009-10 Exam paper.
• the 2009-10 resit paper.
• the 2008-09 Exam paper.
• the 2008-09 resit paper.

Before Academic Year 2008-09, the exam was multiple-choice; it may be of interest to look at the past papers:

• the 2007-08 Exam Paper;
• the 2006-07 Exam Paper;
• the 2005-06 Exam Paper;
• the 2004-05 Exam Paper;
• the 2003-04 Exam Paper.

Should you fail the module, the resit exam covers both the continuously assessed assignments and the written examination. This means that your grade for the resit exam will be the final grade for the module: any marks for the assignments will not be carried over. The resit exam was never a multiple-choice exam; as of 2008-09, the format of the resit exam is the same as that of the final exam. Examples of past resit exam papers:

• the 2008-09 Resit Exam Paper;
• the 2007-08 Resit Exam Paper;
• the 2006-07 Resit Exam Paper;
• the 2005-06 Resit Exam Paper;
• the 2004-05 Resit Exam Paper;
• the 2003-04 Resit Exam Paper.
