General Exam Information
▪ 45% of your overall mark (paper is marked out of 100)
▪ This is not an assignment. Therefore, there is no marking criteria provided and there will be NO post
exam qualitative feedback (i.e., Turnitin/ReView feedback) after the exam.
▪ Final grades will be released as per university schedule. We will not release final exam numerical marks on Moodle.
▪ Tutors have no access to Final Exam Questions.
▪ The LiC will be available to answer ONLY for typographical and grammatical error questions for the first hour on exam day via a Moodle Exam Forum under Final Exam section. Questions on how to address, answer, interpret or what perspective to take will not be entertained. Your ability to understand or think through what is required is part of the assessment.
▪ You cannot contact any of the teaching team (lectures and tutors) for the entire duration of the exam until the final grades are released. We will not be responding to any emails regarding your paper or marks.
▪ Special consideration to take supplementary exam has to be applied online as this is centrally managed by faculty. Please refer to UNSW Special consideration policy and fit to sit rule. Such cases are not decided by the LiC but by a faculty committee.

Sheet Format
INFS Answer Sheet will no longer be customised. That means you need to enter the details onto the answer sheet (e.g. name, student ID, course code, course name, and exam date).
Exam Preparation : Recommended
▪ Organise your notes, homework, tutorial class work per topic
▪ Familiarise yourself with Moodle system requirements and the university rules on plagiarism and misconduct. It is your responsibility as students to understand what the policies are.
▪ Ensure you have set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) using your zID on your smartphone, and know what to do when prompted to verify your sign-in when logging into UNSW systems.
▪ Create a study plan
➢ Decide whether you prefer to study sequentially Week 1-10 or level of difficulty or whether to
group topics high/medium importance
➢ As you study each Chapter, reflect:
✓ Am I able to explain the relationship of one topic with another?
✓ Am I able to explain how it works and applies to real world examples?
✓ Can I Identify solutions as I read through challenges associated with chapter cases?
✓ Can I explain impacts when I read through case problems?
✓ Can I distinguish key themes vs details and understand the ‘big picture’?
Exam Day : Recommended (1)
▪ Run the necessary updates on your machine before starting the exam (or do this the day before if possible).
▪ Make sure your laptop is fully charged before the exam starts in case there is an unexpected power outage for a short period of time.
▪ If your machine is unreliable/ problematic, ensure you have a back up (borrow one if you have to)
▪ Find an appropriate (quiet) area in your house where you can concentrate. (If you need to tell family members or flatmates that you need the space for a stretch of time, you might want to organise this in advance)
▪ Tell your family member/friends that you are working on your exam from xx to xx time and that you are not to be interrupted.
▪ Switch off all social media to avoid distractions (I know this is particularly difficult but proper focus is necessary to answer this exam well)
Exam Day : Recommended (2)
1. For any diagrams, you can use draw.io, drawing tools in Excel and Word, or any other drawing tool. When you paste into the exam answer sheet, make sure you can read clearly.
2. You can hand draw a diagram and then scan using your mobile phone as a picture. When you paste the picture into the exam answer sheet, make sure you can clearly read the text on the picture.
▪ I suggest you perform a few practices on whichever option you choose before the examination day.
Exam Day : Recommended (3)
▪ You do not need to use any SQL tools such as Oracle or SAS Enterprise Guide during the exam. The SQL questions rely on you to write the SQL Code manually without actually running the code in an SQL tool. You can type the SQL code directly to the exam answer sheet.
Exam Day : Mandatory
▪ You must name your exam answer sheet in the following format before submitting:
▪ zID_INFS5710.doc or zID_INFS5710.docx, for example, z1234567_INFS5710.docx
▪ Give yourself plenty of time to submit your file, say 15 to 30 minutes before the submission time.
▪ You must TRIPLE CHECK before your final submission. If you submit a wrong file, you will be received a final mark of zero.
• Uploading one file that needs your ultimate attention is expected. You have uploaded your homework and group project on Moodle so you should know the process. Keep the submission receipt.
Final Exam Question Tips
▪ The entire final exam is answerable using ONLY your course notes, tutorial material, textbook etc. If you are prepared, there is no need to research in the internet.
▪ Your ability to analyse and explain your point, apply theory to the details of the case are what matters the most. Copy pasted answers from course materials have very little to no value.
▪ For this final exam, there are NO definition questions …otherwise students might have the exact same answers and the risk for plagiarism is high.
▪ Instead, you will be asked to explain and recommend solutions by applying your understanding of concepts. Plan your answers – we have made several class exercises to get you to apply concepts to actual companies or cases so use these skills you have learned this term.
▪ The questions are phrased similar to your homework, tutorial questions, and group assignment. They are of course not the exact questions but the style is similar and with more complexity as it is a final exam – for practice, you might want to revisit.
Referencing & Integrity
▪ You DO NOT need to cite the use of textbook, lecture slides, course notes (you do not need to say things like “The lecturer said…”, for the purpose final exam we consider this as official course materials/internal sources.
▪ ALL OTHER SOURCES OUTSIDE OFFICIAL COURSE MATERIALS including website links you find on course slides is subject to potential plagiarism rules if not properly acknowledged. If you access an external link, you must acknowledge. Ensure you read the university rules on plagiarism and if in doubt regarding Harvard referencing (Harvard Referencing – The ‘In-text’ System |
UNSW Current Students).
▪ University academic misconduct, fraud and plagiarism rules apply – take the time to know what the
rules are. Our advice is –don’t risk it!
▪ This final exam guide is NOT exhaustive. It is the student’s responsibility to check the university rules and UNDERSTAND them. If you are unsure, contact the university’s learning advisor for support as it is not your tutors or LiC’s role to teach you referencing. (support links provided on the last slide).
▪ Ensure your answers are your OWN WORK. Copy pasting materials verbatim even if you have in- text referencing does NOT meet the criteria of producing your own work.
Final Exam Consultation Hours
▪ Due to volume, we are unable to answer questions regarding the final exam via email.
▪ Exam Consultation channel was created to accommodate QnA exam questions. Please post your questions to the channel.
