We have scheduled help sessions for the remaining weeks of the term.

As we approach assignment deadlines, these sessions will get busier. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to help everyone, so please attend the earlier sessions (we are running sessions in Week 6!).

Hello Everyone!

Due to the Public Holiday on Monday this week, we have rescheduled the Live Coding Session to Wednesday 4pm.

As usual, this session will be recorded, however we strongly suggest that you attend the 1hr online session as you will be able to ask questions in real-time!

PASS sessions - revised time

Week 2 Information

Posted by George Muscat 🌱 Monday 03 June 2024, 08:02:22 AM.

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone is doing well.

From this week, we are starting Live Coding Sessions. These sessions will run 6-7pm online on Mondays and are a great opportunity to go through some unique coding examples to reinforce lecture content from the past week.

I would highly encourage everyone to join as you can follow along with the amazing Callum as he completes the tasks. This is a great opportunity to ask additional questions as well. These will be set out similar to exam and assignment problems, so are good practice for upcoming assessments.

Please join via BlackBoard Collaborate (through Moodle).

---

From this week, all lab content is assessed. This means you must attend your lab and speak with your tutors to get marked.

Additionally, there is a single multiple choice question to be completed each week. This must be completed in the same 2hr timeslot as your officially scheduled lab.

Cheers!

Dear ENGG1811 Students,

Welcome to ENGG1811 (Term 2, 2024), I’m the convenor for 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/ENGG1811/24T2 . We recommend that you bookmark the page.
• The course outline is available on the course website.
• Please note that labs start in Week 01 . Week-01 introductory lab is now available, see "Labs" in the left panel on the class web page .
• For the online lectures and labs, please follow the instructions available on this webpage: How to attend Online Lectures, Labs and watch Recordings .
• For all the in person face-to-face labs, students need to attend in person in the computer labs on the campus.
• You will be learning to write computer programs in the Python programming language in ENGG1811. We suggest that you install the software " Anaconda for Python 3.7 (or higher) " on your laptop before the first lecture. 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

Looking forward to the start of Term 2, 2024!
