| Unit | Assessment type and mark contribution |
|---|---|
| Advanced Data Science:ADS | Four practicals(20%) One report (80%) |
| Advanced Graphics and Image Processing: AGIP | Two practical exercises (50%); test (50%) |
| Advanced Operating Systems: AOS | 2 Assignments: Lab 1 (10%); Lab 2 (90%) |
| Introduction to Robotics: ARO | Two assignments (45% of the overall grade each), Presentation 10% |
| Category Theory: CAT | Exercise (25% ); Test (75%) |
| Cloud Computing: CC | 2 Assignments (70%, 20%) Reports (10%) |
| Comp Systems Modelling: CSM | Three Assignments (45%, 45%, 10%) |
| Cybercrime: CYC | Four Essays (25% each) |
| Deep Neural Networks DNN | Assignment 1 (30%); Assignment 2 (70%) |
| Digital Signal Processing DSP | Test (40%); Three exercises (20% each) |
| Digital Signal Processing with Computer Music: DSPCM | 3 Assignments (25%,30%,30%; plus 5% prep for each) |
| Interaction with Machine Learning | 6 submissions (20%) One assignment (80%) |
| Machine Visual Perception | Practical Exercise (20%); Project report (80%) |
| Multicore Semantics | Two assignments (50% of the overall grade each) |
| NLP | Assign1 (10%); Assign2 (10%); Assign3 (80%) |
All assignments, reports, presentations and tests are graded. In addition, there may be exercises which are pass-fail and it is expected that all candidates pass all exercises (if any) in a given unit. Note that there are internal deadlines for individual exercises and tests that must be adhered to. The penalty for late submission is $(n + 10)/40 \times mark$ where $n$ is the integer part of the number of days late. Further information, including details of the exercises, reports and presentations which must be handed in, will be given by the proprietors of the associated classes.
Submission of Portfolio
To satisfy the requirements of Regulation 16(a), all reports will, once they have been accepted, be retained by the Department. The Part II examiners will be provided with the total number of marks awarded to each candidate.
