Hello everyone!

Welcome to COMP1010 for 24T3 :)

The course website is now up and running and is slowly getting filled in with information for the course (lecture content, assessment tasks, extra resources). It can be found here: COMP1010 Course Homepage . I highly recommend you bookmark this page as you will be using it often this term.

On Monday at 11am we have our first lecture . For those of you joining us face-to-face we will meet in Tyree Energy Technology LG03 (K-H6-LG03). For those of you joining us online, (assuming no technical difficulties), you can join us in the Zoom Lecture Link . Alternatively, I believe, you can watch the lecture through LiveStream on Echo360.

On Thursday at 10am our lecture will be held at E19 Patricia O'Shane G05 (K-E19-G05) with the same online options as Monday.

• What will we learn in this course?
• What are Tutorials and Labs? What's the difference?
• What do I need to do to do well in this course?
• What assessment tasks will there be?
• How do I set up my computer in order to write computer programs for this course?
• How do I ask any questions that I have?

I hope to also write our first computer programs in Python and start learning some course content.

Between now and then, please join the course forum using this link: https://edstem.org/au/join/EeBm8y . The forum is a place where you can ask questions (both publicly and privately) at any point in the course. I highly recommend you bookmark this page too.

If you're feeling super keen and would like to get your brain warmed up before Monday, I recommend doing the reading and activities in the following links:

• (w3schools) Python Home
• (w3schools) Python Intro
• (w3schools) Python Comments
• (w3schools) Python Variables

I'm looking forward to meeting you all on Monday.

Cheers,

Sim Mautner
(Lecturer for COMP1010)
