The coursework component consists of an open book class test and a coursework to take home.
The open book class test took place on Thursday 10 February 2011 from 11:00 to 11:50 in CG03. The test covered the lectures for weeks 1-3 and Exercise sheets 1 and 2. If you would like more exercises to practice before the test, please look at questions 1,2,4 & 5 in last year's coursework below.

Past exam papers are published for illustrative purposes only. They can be used as a study aid but do not provide a definitive guide to either the format of the next exam, the topics that will be examined or the style of questions that will be set. Students should not expect their own exam to be directly comparable with previous papers. Remember that a degree requires an amount of self-study, reading around topics, and lateral thinking - particularly at the higher level modules and for higher marks. Specific guidance for your exam will be given by the lecturer.
