Lecture Content for the Rest of the Term - Have Your Say

Posted by Sim Mautner Tuesday 07 April 2026, 01:21:23 PM.

Hi everyone,

At this point in the term we adjust the lecture content to the specific wants and needs of the current cohort of students.

1. Remembering that "Programming" is worth 25% of the Implementation mark, we are looking for students to submit their code to us for teaching purposes.
   • If you've finished your MVP and maybe 1-2 NTHs.
   • Email your code to cs1010@cse.unsw.edu.au with the subject line 'Code for programming improvement lecture'.
   • I will review your code to see if it's more suited for:
     • Individual feedback on your programming or
     • Use it as a demonstration to the class about how they can take their existing implementation and improve their programming in order to maximise their marks for that component.
2. As many of you will be debugging your projects in the coming weeks, we are looking for students to submit their code to us for teaching purposes.
   • If you have a bug which you've tried to solve or a feature you can't get to work.
   • Email your code to cs1010@cse.unsw.edu.au with the subject line 'Code for debugging demonstration lecture'.
   • I will review your code, and if it's suitable, I will use it as a demonstration on how to debug your specific problem or how to get your specific feature to work.

We will accept email submissions for the above 2 areas right up until Wednesday/Thursday of week 10. Please also submit this poll to indicate what would interest you the most if we have lecture time that's not otherwise occupied.
