Synopsis for Computer Science: Half Units
Course Description
Students in Part C may take half units drawn from Part C of the Honour School of Mathematics and Computing. For full details of these half units see the Department of Computer Science's website
http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/teaching/courses/
Please note that these three courses will be examined by mini-project (as for MSc students). Mini-projects will be handed out to candidates on the last Friday of the term in which the subject is being taught, and you will have to hand it in to the Exam Schools by noon on Monday of Week 1 of the following term. The mini-project will be designed to be completed in about three days. It will include some questions that are more open-ended than those on a standard sit-down exam. The work you submit should be your own work, and include suitable references.
Please note that the Computer Science courses in Part C are 50 bigger than those in earlier years, i.e. for each Computer Science course in the 3rd year undergraduates are expected to undertake about 10 hours of study per week, but 4th year courses will each require about 15 hours a week of study. Lecturers are providing this extra work in a variety of ways, e.g. some will give 16 lectures with extra reading, classes and/or practicals, whereas others will be giving 24 lectures, and others still will be doing something in between. Students will need to look at each synopsis for details on this.
The Computer Science half units available are as follows:
