Hi Everyone,

A very warm welcome to COMP9024: Data Structures & Algorithms course in 26T2!

On behalf of COMP9024 teaching team, I am very pleased to have you for this term, and I hope this course will be both intellectually stimulating and enjoyable for you! Working with me is our dedicated and hardworking course admin Tim Arney, and a wonderful team of 7 tutors (Deshan, Joffrey, Jiangze, Leman, Dipankar, Sachin, and Kanak) who will support you in your learning journey throughout the term.

In this course, we'll explore how computers organise and process data to tackle a variety of problems. Data structures and algorithms are the fundamentals of computer science and engineering. Gaining a solid understanding of them will not only enhance your academic learning but also support your growth as a programmer, software engineer, or computer scientist.

• If you haven't already, please read through the course outline to know what topics we'll cover, what are different assessments throughout the term, and recommended textbooks.
• Lectures are scheduled on Tuesday, 11-1 pm, J17 Ainsworth 202 and on Friday, 1-3 pm, E19 Patricia O'Shane G04 . You can also find these details under Timetable in the sidebar.
• Please join the Discourse Forum (click Discourse Forum in the sidebar) by entering zID and zPass. Please make good use of this forum to ask questions.
• Tutorials start in Week 2. Week 1 tutorial is self-guided and is released under Course Work > Tutorials. Please follow along the week 1 tutorial to familiarise yourself to some of the tools useful for COMP9024.
• The Discourse Forum and the Help Sessions are the primary resources for you to seek any assistance in the course.
• This is an in-person course. Lecture Recordings will be available on Echo360 (Moodle), but I encourage you to attend the lectures.
• Please note that you may need to wait until the next day in case you are just enrolled in the course to get access to course resources.
  

I look forward to see you all in our first lecture on Tuesday at 11 am in Ainsworth 202!

Best wishes,
Sonit
