FOR PhD students - Partial exam (KS) Quiz 1

KS Quiz 1 (For PhD students only)

This is a webpage for the KS quiz dedicated only to PhD students. 

Before the quiz

Before your exam begins read through the instructions from the examiner. 

Please bring your own laptop - you are likely to be having to use your own laptop to access this quiz.

Please bring also pen and paper to take notes - it may be helpful. 

The quiz design

This is the first graded quiz in the course and accounts for the material covered in lectures L2-L3 (single- and multi-layer perceptrons, generalisation and regularisation).

It consists of a single Code of Conduct/Hederskodex question and 8 proper content related questions. You should positively respond to the Code of Conduct question to confirm that you have read and agreed to comply with the Code of Conduct. 

The overall partial examination (KS) takes place at 1pm on Sep 11, 2024 in the dedicated computer room XQ32, Malvinas väg. Bear in mind that within the given 45 minutes you can make two attempts (change your answers even if the quiz has already been submitted). 

The quiz is a mixture of different types of questions (most questions have multiple possible answers where an incorrect answer is penalized; still the final score for each question is always greater or equal to zero). In particular:

• free-text (essay) type questions: manual grading
• multiple-answer questions: each correct choice is awarded a certain fraction of max score and each incorrect choice subtracts the same fraction, no choice is neutral; overall, the minimum number of points per the entire question is 0 as there are no negative scores
• true/false (drop-down menu) questions: each correct option is awarded a proportional fraction of the max score intended for the question.

Since there may be a question that requires hand calculations (even if you are requested just to type in your answer in the quiz) please bring a pen and paper for taking notes. 

In order to pass the quiz (P) you need to score at least 11 out of max 16 points available in 8 questions (Code of Conduct question does not belong to the pool of 8 graded questions).

For any concerns during the quiz please refer to the person supervising the quiz (TA or a teacher).

Importantly, make sure that you positively respond to the Code of Conduct / Hederskodex question about your commitment to comply with the Code of Conduct. Without confirming that you obey the code your quiz will not be subject to assessment (it implies failed partial exam/KS). 

This is an individual assignment and any attempt to seek help from someone else or even discuss the ongoing quiz with someone else, it is considered as a serious breach of the code of conduct.
