  • Week-10 Assessment

    Posted by Ashesh Mahidadia Thursday 30 July 2020, 01:02:38 PM.

    Your Week-10 Assessment will be similar in structure to your Week-05 Assessment. Your tutor will inform you regarding your time slot (during your week10 lab time) for one-to-one interactive session to ask you specific questions and award you mark. You will be asked questions on the topics covered in the labs lab07 and lab09. Interactive sessions will be on Microsoft Teams and will be recorded for the future reference, in case there are any queries. Inform your tutor in case you prefer not to record.

    You will be asked two questions on the topics related to (and not the same as) the two sample questions available below. You will be allowed 3 mins to answer each question, so total of 6 mins per student. If you prefer, you can use more than 3 mins to answer your first question, however your total time should not go beyond 6 mins. Two sample questions are available below. Please note that you must briefly justify your answers.

    Based on your justifications and answers, your tutor will award you marks. You don't need to offer long justifications, as far as your tutor understands it, that's fine. In case your answer in Python (numpy) is incorrect, your tutor will award you partial marks based on your problem-solving approach and explanations.

    Important: During your assessment, you need to answer questions using numpy on the data set “ data_sea_ice ” used in the lab07 and lab09. We will assume that you are familiar with the data set “data_sea_ice” used in the lab07 and lab09. In order to quickly answer questions, you must be familiar with the data set “data_sea_ice” before your assessment.

    Week-10 Assessment: Sample Questions

    You need to answer questions in a specified time period. If you cannot answer questions, or don't show up at the allocated time on the required platform (Microsoft Teams) as specified, you will receive zero mark for that lab assessment.

    Please make sure that you properly understand the following:

    • numpy lecture topics covered in the lectures week 5B: Numpy and Week 8: Numpy (Part 2),
    • example code files for the above two lectures,
    • answers for the questions in the labs lab07 and lab09.

    Today in the lecture, we will discuss some of the answers for lab07 and lab09 exercises.

    All the best for your Week-10 assessment.

  • Welcome to ENGG1811 (Computing for Engineers)!

    Posted by Ashesh Mahidadia Sunday 24 May 2020, 03:30:26 PM.

    Dear ENGG1811 Students,

    I’m the convenor for ENGG1811 for Term 2, 2020 and I’d like to welcome you to the course. There are a number of important points that I’d like to let you know.

    • ENGG1811 does not use Moodle. The course website is at https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/ENGG1811/20T2/ . We recommend that you bookmark the page.
    • The course outline is available on the course website.
    • You will be learning to write computer programs in the Python programming language in ENGG1811. We will ask you to write some simple code in the lecture. We suggest that you install the software "Anaconda for Python 3.7" on your laptop before the first lecture and bring your laptop to the lectures. Instructions for installing this software can be found at the "Getting Started" link on the course website or http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~en1811/resources/getting-started/index.html
    • The lecture material for Week-01 and the first lab (in week-01) will be available on Friday of Week-O. I will post a notice when they are available. Please note that labs start in Week 01.

    Looking forward to the start of Term 2!
