You can check class sizes [here](https://timetable.unsw.edu.au/2023/COMP1010.html).) * Smaller class sizes means more tutor-student attention. --- ### Quick Announcement: Catch Up Lectures * Extra lecture(s) on Thursday 10am-12pm and maybe 2pm-4pm. * Who will be able to come? --- ### Who Am I? * Sim Mautner (they/them). * Tutor and lecturer... different subjects... COMP and INFS... since 2008. * Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu --- ### What is this course? * Content: * Python programming * Simple web applications * Interface design * Approaches: * Tools * Computational thinking --- ### Computational Thinking * Computational thinking: is a process where a problem is analysed and solved so that a human, machine or computer can effectively implement the solution. * Involves using strategies to organise data logically, break down problems into parts, interpret patterns and design and implement algorithms to solve problems. * [More Detail](https://www.thetech.org/sites/default/files/techtip_computationalthinking_v3.pdf) * [Even More Detail](http://cse.unl.edu/~lksoh/Classes/CSCE100_Fall18/handouts/01ComputationalThinkingCSCoding.pdf) --- ### Who is this course for? * No background in programming required. * Designed to introduce topics from the beginning. * If you have background and experience, this will be boring for you - go take COMP1511 and COMP1531. --- ### What's different in Summer? * Aiming for 40 hours of lectures (same as a 10-week course, but...) * Less weekends * Less time for practicing * This course will will require a lot of effort and dedication to master the topics being presented. --- ### Why not just have less content? * Same number of units of credit * Rewarding (useful, interesting) outcome --- ### Changes which have occurred * Lecture emphasis (tree analogy) * Non-core material, may appear on the lecture list in between our scheduled lecture hours. * Some topics removed * Please ask any questions you have and if they're in the removed topics, I will gladly link you to resources from previous terms. --- ### How do I succeed in this course? | | | | -------- | -------- | | <img width="500" src="https://source.unsplash.com/1pyqUh8Jx3E"> | In order of importance:<ol><li>Practice</li><li>Ask questions</li><li>Get feedback</li><li>See how others approach problems</li></ol> | --- ### Be prepared for things to not work... and to keep at it. * Try, try again. * Ask for help. --- ### Expectations * This week the lecture slides and tutorial and lab work is being released very last-minute. I don't expect this to be the case after this week. * Usually lecture slides, tutorial work and lab work will be released by the end of Friday for the following week. * Where possible I upload lecture videos straight after the lecture. Sometimes they will be uploaded later that day. --- ### Where can I find everything I need for this course? * [Course Website:](https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/COMP1010/21T3/) - [ ] Course outline - [ ] Online classes (zoom links) - [ ] Resources - [ ] Forum - [ ] How can I use the forum to ask confidential questions? - [ ] Lecture material - [ ] When is everything due? - [ ] Grades --- ### Plagiarism * https://www.edi.unsw.edu.au/conduct-integrity/conduct-unsw/contract-cheating * How can I use resources from the internet, including adapting snippets of code to make my application do what I want it to do, while being confident that I'm not breaking the rules about plagiarism and cheating? * Reference all resources you use. Include the url, the purpose, the lines you copied/adapted. Communicate as clearly as possible to the marker what aspects of your submission are uniquely yours, what sections are adapted, and what sections are copied or close to copied. --- ### How do I contact Sim or my tutor? * Best option: Make a private post on the course forum. (these go to Sim) * Course e-mail: cs1010@cse.unsw.edu.au (these go to Sim) * Tutor's e-mails: find on the course website. --- ## Feedback  ---
