This final lecture of the course covered arrangements for the exam, advice on revision and preparation, as well as a summary of the course topics. Following neck-and-neck voting by students on the subject poll, I gave a specific review of material XML and Xpath and went through Question 2 from last year’s exam paper.
There was also recommendation of a recent article on ways to learn, and demonstration of good and bad calculators for use in exams.

Notes
Although lectures are now complete, I’m still available for consultation and help with exam preparation. If you have any questions about the course material, lecture content, exercises, the exam, or anything else, please:
- Post a question on Piazza; or
- Ask your course tutor, in person or by email; or
- Drop in to my office hour, Wednesday 1030–1130, in IF 5.04; or
- Ask me by email.
Finally, please complete the Informatics course survey to give your feedback on Inf1-DA. This is entirely untracked and anonymous, and I read every submission.
