Main Examination period 2020 – May/June – Semester B
Online Alternative Assessments
MTH6108 / MTH6108P: Coding Theory
You should attempt ALL questions. Marks available are shown next to the ques-
tions.
In completing this assessment, you may use books, notes, and the internet. You
may use calculators and computers, but you should show your working for any
calculations you do. You must not seek or obtain help from anyone else.
At the start of your work, please copy out and sign the following declaration:
I declare that my submission is entirely my own, and I have not sought
or obtained help from anyone else.
All work should be handwritten, and should include your student number.
You have 24 hours in which to complete and submit this assessment. When you have
finished your work:
scan your work, convert it to a single PDF file and upload this using the
upload tool on the QMplus page for the module;
e-mail a copy to with your student number and the module
code in the subject line;
with your e-mail, include a photograph of the first page of your work together
with either yourself or your student ID card.
You are not expected to spend a long time working on this assessment. We expect
you to spend about 2 hours to complete the assessment, plus the time taken to scan
and upload your work. Please try to upload your work well before the end of the
assessment period, in case you experience computer problems. Only one attempt is
allowed – once you have submitted your work, it is final.
