This is located in Building 10, level 10, Room 7. The phone number is 9925 2348 and the facsimile number is 9662 1617. You can email the office at office@cs.rmit.edu.au. The office is normally open from 9am until 5.30pm. During times of peak student demand (i.e. the beginning of each semester) the opening hours may be extended to include Saturday. This can be checked by calling 9925 2348. Seminar style courses are small classes where students learn by reading, discussing and presenting material provided by the lecturer, often in the form of research papers. The lecturer guides the discussion, but students are expected to take an active role, with presentation of material or leadership of discussion often being a part of the course. In addition to developing knowledge of the content area of the course students develop skills in critical reading of research literature and in synthesizing and comparing approaches to problems. See “Exams” on page 83. The official place to get a list of all courses and lecturers is via the Timetable. (Look under information and the appropriate campus and semester). http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/timetables/ The contact information for staff can be found at: http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/general/contact/phone.shtml

Chapter 14: Frequently asked questions 1. Attend all lectures and tutorials. 2. Do not let a week go by without having revised what you have studied so that you have totally cleared up any doubts or misunderstandings. Cramming is counterproductive. You should contact any/all staff and schedule a formal appointment to explain your problem. Staff should have a timetable of their availability. If you have continuing trouble seeing a staff member, inform the Program Leader. There is no extra charge for arranging to see your lecturer/tutor or lab demonstrator. 3. Do not be a loner. You need to network and introduce yourself to other class mates and colleagues. When you have a question and don’t understand something it is great to discuss it with fellow students first. 4. Do not get too much help from your class mates. Often this ends up with some of you failing because your work looks too similar. In addition, often one person understands the material better than another. 5. Never ever rely on past papers as a study technique. The exam you will get may be totally different from previous papers. Past papers are useful to assess how well you have studied after you have done the revision. 6. Never assume that a topic will not be covered in the exam because the lecturer hasn’t asked a question on this topic in the last few years, or because the lecturer only spent 30 minutes on it at the very last lecture. Everything is examinable unless you are explicitly told that it is not examinable by the lecturer. Attending revision lectures is critical because you may learn about such useful information. 7. If anything happens to you, or is about to happen to you, and this may affect your performance, it is very important that you inform someone immediately. You can inform your lecturer, tutor, program advisor, or the Teaching and Learning Advisors (see page 102) where relevant; it doesn’t matter, but never ever stay silent about an issue. Sometimes you think the issue will go away; it is still better to inform someone even though the issue may end up not affecting you. All correspondence will be treated strictly in confidence. 8. Do not avoid programming as part of a course, even in group work. You will find that programming almost always adds another dimension to your understanding of the topic area. 9. Read questions in an exam very carefully. Some people have a habit of seeing key words and concepts mentioned in a question and simply regurgitating all that they know about those concepts. This however often does not answer the question. You may end up with zero for the question. Make sure you read the question carefully and understand it before answering precisely and to the point. 10. Never spend too much time on one question. Marks are usually allocated according to the number of minutes it should take to do the question. Plan very carefully. Yes. You should see http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/timetables/summer/2006/. They are the same as normal semester courses. If you withdraw from a course before the withdrawal deadline, there is no penalty, otherwise, you forfeit the fee. 99
