Hi everyone, the slides of the Week 1 lectures, including an updated version of the introduction and the slides of today's lecture, are now available under WebCMS3 > COMP9517 > Course Work > Lectures > Week 1. Cheers, Erik
Hi Students,
As mentioned in yesterday's lecture, the labs and online tutor sessions will start next week (no tutor session today). The course admins will soon inform you which tutor group you're part of and how to access your tutor session.
In all labs in this course, you are required to submit your code in the form of a Jupyter Notebook (.ipynb file). Submissions in any other form will not be marked.
If you're not yet familiar with Jupyter, or Python, or OpenCV, you are highly encouraged to install the necessary software and learn the basics before the labs start . To help you with that, we have prepared a document with useful links. See WebCMS3 > Course Work > Assessments > Lab Preparations.
In the first tutor session (next week), the tutors can help you with any questions about the software and the lab tasks . We plan to release the first lab early next week so that you can already have a look before coming to the session.
Please note that each lab is about topics taught in the lectures of the same week . This means that when the lab specification is released early in the week, some (or all) of the tasks may not be totally clear to you until after the lectures. But at least it gives you some idea of what's expected and it will become clearer while listening to the lectures.
To give you multiple opportunities to ask questions about any lab, we aim to release each lab early in the week, with a due date late the week after , so that there are always two tutor sessions between the release date and the due date. And, of course, you can always ask anything via the Q&A Forum on Ed.
Cheers,Erik
Hi everyone,
Some students have reported that today's lecture live stream on Echo360 did not work. Apologies if you were unable to attend the online lecture.
We did request the school to activate the live stream for COMP9517 last week. I have just asked them to fix the problem as soon as possible. Hopefully they will be able to do so before tomorrow's lecture.
Today's lecture recording is now available on Echo360.
Best regards,
Erik
Hi Students,
If you are attending the lectures online (starting this afternoon), you should be able to access them via Moodle > Lecture Recordings, and there just click the current lecture (the link should open up a couple of minutes before the start of the lecture).
Best regards,
Erik
Dear Students,
Throughout the term there will be various ways to ask questions and get answers:
1. During the lectures. Certainly in the class room. If you're following the lectures online, you should be able to use a chat function to post questions about the presented materials at any time. With so many students we'll have to see how it works, technically and timewise, for the lecturer to actually pick them up during the lecture. Otherwise, see options 2 and 3 below.
2. Every week (except the first week) there will be a 1-hour tutor session (separate from the lectures) during which you can consult with the tutors of your tutor group regarding the labs and the group project (more details on these will follow). Tutor groups will be created soon and we will post the links ahead of time.
3. At any time, you can post questions in the Q&A forum. You will find the link to this forum in the menu on WebCMS3. Please sign up and enroll as soon as possible using your UNSW email address to get access. The team will attempt to answer questions within 24 hours.
Best wishes,
