- Upload your solutions to Einstein for automatic running and marking.
- You will have a limited window to pass the Einstein tests.
- Within that window, you can have multiple tries until you pass the Einstein tests.
Quiz
- The final part of the CA may be a quiz. Or may be another Einstein practical.
- If a quiz:
- This will be online, open book.
- Fill in the answers online. Press "Submit" when done.

About the notes
My notes contain many hyperlinks to background material.
Some students get confused about what is the core course.
The core course is
anything that is linked to directly on this front page.
All other links are just background material.
There are no bank holiday issues in 2022 with this module.
Reading
Library categories
- 005 - Computer programming, programs, data
- 005.4 - Systems programming and programs
Repeat 2022
CA170 is categorised as 100 percent CA.
For the repeat, we will just do Shell scripting. No quiz.
You come into a lab (room TBA) at 11 am on Mon 25 July (the week before repeat exams).
You will have 2 hours to solve a new Shell scripts problem on Einstein.
I will supervise.
Open book. No talking or emailing.
