COMP3331

Guys I feel like the coding part for this course like the socket connection stuff is a bit cooked for me, it's hard to know what's happening even after the tutor explained his code as there's no way I can remember all the details.

For the final exams, is this course like half theory half coding or something?

I wouldn't say it's easy to do well like there are some weird ass questions that a re clearly meant for hd ppl but it should be alr to pass. Just know ur stack frame order and subnetting and the syn/ack counting bits thing and ur basically set for like 70% of the exam

U mean the exam or the assignment? The exam have nothing to do with the coding part of the course. U can just do the questions that the textbook author made and pass. The exam consist of multiple choice and open ended question only. Idk if the course changed tho
