Live Coding Sessions: Week 5

Hi everyone,

The live coding session returns today at 1pm in Quadrangle 1001. This week, the session will focus on data processing with the numpy library, a key tool you will use throughout the rest of the course.

We hope to see you there!

Additional resources for Assignment 1

The Live Coding Session recording for Assignment 1 is now linked under the Changelog section of the assignment page. This will give you a brief overview of and some tips for the assignment if you are unsure where to begin.

I'd also like to remind everyone of the Learning Support page on the top navigation bar: we offer additional resources on top of your scheduled lectures and labs which you can take advantage of to get help with course content. It's always good to get help early if you can!

Live Coding Sessions: Week 4

Hi everyone, 

The live coding session returns tomorrow at 1pm in Quadrangle 1001. This week the session will give you an overview of how to make a start on the assignment. This will include how to start writing code and how to use the test files. This session will be great for you if you are yet to start the assignment, or if you are not sure what you need to do to start the assignment.

This session will also be recorded for those who are unable to attend, however attending in person is strongly recommended as you will have the chance to ask questions.

We hope to see you there!

Assignment 1 is now available

Assignment 1 has now been released: you can find a link to it in the top navigation bar of the course website.

If you feel like you will need help with the assignment, help sessions are on this week until the end of term. These are sessions where you can get one-on-one help from tutors on assignments especially, but also on other academic aspects of this course.

All the best with the assignment.

Help sessions

The help session timetable is now available on the Help Sessions page of the course website. These are additional opportunities for you to prepare your labs or get additional help outside the scope of your lab. They start next week and will be entirely online this term.

Live Coding Sessions: Week 3

Hi everyone,

The live coding session returns tomorrow at 1pm in Quadrangle 1001. We'll be working on a piece of code that finds all prime numbers less than 10,000. To do this, we will use functions and loops, two programming tools that will be very helpful in your week 4 labs.

We hope to see you there!
Callum and Larry

Live Coding Sessions: Week 2

Hi everyone,

The live coding session returns today at 1pm in Quadrangle 1001. We'll be looking at some exercises with a focus on selection structures. This content is some of the most important content for the whole term and will be very useful for you when completing your week 3 labs.

We hope to see you there!

Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS)

Just a quick announcement for today, the PASS session timetable is now available on the Learning Support page of the course website.

Learning support

I hope everyone's been enjoying the first couple days of term so far. I would like to draw attention to the Learning Support page of the course website: ENGG1811 has multiple support resources which you can take advantage of if you are stuck on a particular problem, happen to fall behind on coursework or just want to enquire about the best way to do something. Every resource we offer is written up on this page.

Please note that Live Coding Sessions start this week and Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) start next week. More scheduling information about PASS will be released once timetabling is done.

Welcome to ENGG1811!

Welcome to the 26T1 offering of ENGG1811! We hope you are ready to learn some computing with us this term. We'd like to share some important details with you before the term starts.

• ENGG1811 does not use Moodle nor WebCMS, all course content is available at https://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~en1811/26T1/.
  • We recommend you bookmark this page so its easy to access.
  • All pages except for the homepage and course outline require you to login with your zID and zPass.
• The course outline is accessible using the top navigation bar.
  • You will be learning how to solve computational problems using Python in ENGG1811, we don't expect any prior experience.
  • Be sure to give this a read so you know what to expect going into the course.
• You will need a software package called Anaconda: please install it on your computer before the first lecture.
  • Instructions for how to do so are available on the Getting Started page.
• Labs commence in Week 1!
  • The first lab is already available on the Labs page.
  • You can find your lab room and tutor's email (should you need it) on the Timetable page.

If you have any questions or run into any problems, feel free to ask questions on the course forum.

Looking forward to an exciting term 1!
