433-652: Distributed Systems: Principles and Paradigms

REQUESTS TO VIEW EXAM SCRIPT BOOKS

• If you passed, well done, and congratulations.
• Marks have been assigned carefully, including the 49s and 48s and 47s, 69s, 79s, etc. In particular, all students who failed have had their papers checked already as part of the examination process, and there is nothing to be gained by mailing me that "I got 47, and only failed by a few marks, what should I do now to get a pass, can my paper be rexamined please?" Or "I got 78, but my another classmate got 80, can my paper be rexamined please?"
• The exam viewing session will be held between 12.30 and 1:30pm on Wednesday 19 July, in my office, Room 5.31 of the ICT Building. No appointments are necessary, just come along and join the queue.
• Requests for marks breakdowns: Please contact Louise Walker - student coordinator in CSSE dept. (louise @ cs.mu.OZ.AU)
