Lab exercises will be automarked (marked automatically by a computer), so that tutors can spend lab time assisting students rather than marking labs.
For each of the lab exercises, both members of each lab pair need
to submit the exercise separately using
give.
You cannot obtain marks by e-mailing lab work to tutors or lecturers.
If you cannot complete the exercise by the end of the lab
you may complete it in your own time and submit it using the
give command
before midnight Sunday (Sunday 11:59:59pm).
Challenge exercises may be specified for some labs.
Some challenge lab exercises may specify that they are individual exercises (not to be done with your partner).
Lab exercises will be automarked, using test cases that you haven't seen:
different to the test cases autotest runs for
you.
(Hint: do your own testing as well as running
autotest)
There will be partial marks for attempts which fail some of these automated tests.
Automarking will be run several days after the submission deadline for the lab. When it is complete you should be able to view it here or by running this command on a CSE machine:
1511 classrun -collect exercise_name
When all components of a lab are automarked you should be able to view the the marks via give's web interface or by running this command on a CSE machine:
1511 classrun -sturec
There will be more lab marks available than necessary to obtain full marks for the 12% lab component. In other words: total lab marks will be capped.
The lab exercises for each week are worth in total 1.3 marks.
Usually each lab exercise will be worth the same - for example if there are 5 lab exercise each will be worth 0.26 marks.
Except challenge exercises (see below) will never total more than 25% of each week's lab mark.
The best 10 of your lab marks will be summed to give you a mark out of 12. If their sum exceeds 12 - your mark will be capped at 12.
