  • Exam Seating Allocation

    Posted by George Muscat 🌱 Sunday 03 December 2023, 08:49:48 PM.

    Hello!

    An email was sent to all students with a link where you can find your seating allocation for the ENGG1811 Final Exam.

    For those that missed it, here is the link: https://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~exam/current/seating/register.cgi/allocations/

  • Assignment 2 marks are now available

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Friday 01 December 2023, 04:45:20 PM.

    Assignment 2 results are now available. The class did very well for this assignment.

    You can collect a report on your work where you will find your mark, computer test results, style mark and comments from your tutor. To collect the report, go to the Assignment 2 page and click on the "Collect Submission" tab.

    If you have questions about your mark and feedback in the report, please speak with your lab tutor. However, if you are in fri11-strings, your assignment was marked by a different tutor; you can find the name of your marker on the feedback page mentioned in the next paragraph.

    I have created a web page which contains some feedback on the assignment, in particular on some edge cases. The page will cover how we tested your code, the test cases for three functions, as well as my solution. Please note that my solution should only be used as guide as there are many methods to write the code. You will find the link to that page near the top of the Assignment 2 page.

    Note that we are yet to perform plagiarism check on the assignment submissions so the results may change after we have gone through the checks. I want to stress that, if your submitted work is your own, there is nothing to worry about.

  • Past exam solution / Lab marks / Pre-exam consultation

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Monday 27 November 2023, 10:26:10 AM.

    The solution to the past exams is now available from the past exams page on the course website.


    You can check your lab marks (Python labs; Self-direct labs 1 & 2) using this link . Labs are worth 20% of the overall assessment. At the link provided, you will see a field called lab_total which is your aggregated lab mark out of 20.


    If you have questions, you can attend one of the following pre-exam consultations. These are one-to-one online consultations run by the lecturer. You can join these consultations by using the same Zoom link for the lectures (See Lectures on course website for the link). You will be placed in a waiting room and the lecturer will help you in a first-come-first-served basis. The consultation times are:

    • Wed 29 Nov, 2-2:45pm
    • Friday 1 Dec, 1-1:45pm

    You can also continue to ask questions on the forum.


    Our target is to release Assignment 2 marks by the end of this week.

  • Help Sessions

    Posted by George Muscat 🌱 Wednesday 04 October 2023, 04:09:36 PM.

    Hello!

    Help sessions are beginning this week. Help sessions are a great way to get additional help from a tutor with assignments, labs and other academic questions. I strongly encourage you to attend sessions earlier in the term, as when we get closer to the due date of the assignment, they are very full and tutors may not have as much time help you.

    For the next two weeks we are running a session online on Friday 4-6pm. This will be accessible via BBCollaborate.

    More details can be found here: https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/ENGG1811/23T3/reso...

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Friday 15 September 2023, 11:35:18 AM, last modified Friday 15 September 2023, 11:35:35 AM.

    I've just posted the final version of the code that we have worked on in the lecture this week. You can find them under Lectures, Week 1.

    We will be using the same modus operandi for the rest of the course. Preliminary version of the code will be posted before the lecture and final version will be posted after the last lecture of the week.

    In additional to lectures and labs, we also support your learning through the course forum and live coding sessions . You can find information on these two support channels under the menu item "Learning Support" at the course website. A direct link is here .

    As I mentioned in the lecture this morning, I have posted some exercises on the course forum. If you go to the course forum, click on the "Exercises" link on the left, you will find them. Exercises will be posted each week in the same way. Programming is a practical task, the more you work on it, the better you become.

    I'd like to encourage you to attend the weekly Live Coding Sessions which take place on Mondays 5-6pm, starting from Week 2. Students in the past have found these sessions very helpful for them to learn how to solve coding problems. These sessions are online and you can join using a link on the ENGG1811 Moodle page. These sessions will be recorded.
