Allowed
materials
It will be an open book quiz, however you will need to know your content without referring
to notes, to be able to complete the quiz in the allocated time.
Generative
AI tools
UNSW appreciates the potential of these tools and are excited to explore ways to use AI
to enrich your learning experience while maintaining the integrity of our programs and
therefore of your degrees. You must avoid overdependence on any one tool, and
independent thought and knowledge remains essential. ChatGPT and other similar tools
are unlikely to help you complete this quiz.
Topics
covered
Topics 4-5 including all class materials, allocated readings, assigned problems and
additional content provided. Please note that the content in later weeks builds on the earlier
weeks, therefore it is expected that you understand topics 1-3 to complete the quiz.
Practice
questions
We have extracted some relevant questions from past papers to assist in your study.
These have been converted into an online practice test available under the Assessment
Task 2 section. We would recommend you attempt this online to become familiar with how
you may be asked to complete questions in the online environment. The purpose is to
familiarise you with the technology and practice completing answers in the formats
required.
The weekly revision activities are another good resource for study.
Please note that each term is unique, and students should not infer anything about this
term’s examination from the past questions.
Important
notes
Students are expected to complete the quiz independently. You are not allowed to
copy, take photos, copy the work of another student, or communicate with others during
the quiz. Ignoring this instruction is considered academic misconduct.
Before commencing the quiz, it is advisable to be free of any distractions during the
quiz time. Also, we advise you to make sure your internet connection is stable (and is
fast enough).

Finally, please ensure that you plan your time accordingly. If you log out of the quiz
during its completion, or your connection to the quiz is interrupted, you may log back
into the quiz and resume the attempt in progress. Your answers to the questions
completed will have been saved. Remember, however, that the timer continues (even
when you are not logged into the quiz). Once the time has elapsed, your responses up
to the ending time will automatically be submitted and graded (irrespective of whether
you have finished, or are logged into the quiz or not).
Academic
integrity
pledge
To attempt the quiz you will be asked to accept the following conditions upon
commencement of the quiz:
UNSW student online assessment academic integrity pledge
For this online assessment:
I agree to be bound by the following UNSW online academic code of conduct:
As a member of the UNSW community, I will not participate in or tolerate academic
dishonesty.
I will do this graded online assessment work on my own. In the case where I
collaborate with others this would be an act of academic dishonesty and would have
serious consequences for my continued studies.
I agree that I was not provided with any assistance from other students including
screenshots or answers.
I agree to not share the answers and not take any screenshots.
I agree to not provide any other students with any screenshots or answers because
this will create an unfair advantage of my fellow students and decrease their learning
opportunity.
I agree to not provide any answers or screenshots on any third-party websites
because the questions are the intellectual property of the university and this would be
giving away the property.
I will undertake the online assessment alone in a private room and agree that I will
not have other people in the room with me when I undertake this online assessment.
I will switch my mobile phone to silent, put it face down somewhere in my room away
from the computer/laptop and not use the mobile phone during the online
assessment.
By clicking on the ‘Attempt quiz now’ button, I agree to the above that I follow the binding
Code UNSW to not engage in academic dishonesty.
Issues during
the quiz
If there is an issue, please contact Kate Morgan at k.morgan@unsw.edu.au, as I will be
monitoring my email throughout the quizzes. If you can, please continue working on your
quiz while you wait for a response. Note, you are able to take a screenshot of any technical
issues during the exam for the purpose of sending to a seminar leader.
