Official information request for EEEN204, CYBR271 and NWEN243 test
papers
I refer to your request for information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act)
dated 9 July 2025:
“Please provide all test papers for the course EEEN204, CYBR271 and NWEN243
for the years 2019 to 2024.”
Test or exam papers for EEEN204 in 2019 and 2024, CYBR271 in 2022-2024 and
NWEN243 in 2019 and 2021-2024 are attached.
Test or exam papers for EEEN204 in years 2020-23 are already publicly available at
https://fyi.org.nz/request/28565/response/110412/attach/5/EEEN%20ECEN204%20Fi
nal%20Test%20Papers.pdf.
Tests for CYBR271 in 2020 and 2021 and NWEN243 in 2021 were undertaken via a now
decommissioned student portal. Extracting these tests would require substantial time and
effort that would impair the University’s ability to carry out its other functions, Therefore,
in respect of this information, your request is refused in accordance with s18(f) of the Act
as the information cannot be made available without substantial research or collation.
Please note a range of assessment materials are available on th
e School of Engineering
and Computer Science Past Exam Archive or th
e University Library Exam Archive.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of the
decisions made regarding this request. Information about how to make a complaint is
available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
If you wish to discuss this decision with us, please feel free to contact me at
[VUW request email].
