Elec eng degree has changed; comp1091 is a more efficient way to do comp for those not majoring in comp sci. It's also recommended by the maths staff.

It has a reputation of being a hard subject.

COMP1A uses haskell COMP1B uses C
1091 using C, this is a dumb down version of COMP1B only teaching C without the system strand and replaced it was general UNIX crap

I think after all those complains EE finally gives first year a break and let them do C / Unix instead.... Lucky you no Haskell...


Besides there is a reform going on inside CSE... like rearranging Comp A, B, Data Org and Software Construct into Comp 1, COmp 2, Design 1 and Design 2 so that for non-compting major people (like elec eng for example) don't have to do Haskell which is only useful to them for the final exam.... that's about it.

COMP1091 is more difficult than Comp 1A....so it's not good for EE students.

Gman, what kind of reform is taking place in CSE? Explain.

I don't know exactly and it is not official anyway, but I was reading some meeting-minutes somewhere on CSE and it appears the engineering deans wants to make some course on theory and some courses on designs and on top of that make everycourse 6 uoc instead of some 3 uocs.... It is not official so I can't really explain whats going on... No backup documents besides http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~teachadmin/tc/richardbproposal.html

they sent out a cse email asking engineering students to provide input to a plan layout for first year engineering students

something similar to how commerce has core subjects which everyone does in first year

all in all, i think that in the future engineering would be a more enjoyable degree to do and much more concise

As a member of the tc (teaching committe) of CSE I can assure you that there are major changes to the first 2 years of all Engineering Faculty degrees planned.

How many people actually do this course? From that distribution of final marks for 04, it looks like there were only around 20 people?

this year this course is dumped with the 1st year EE student, which add about 120 to the course...

so I would guess ~150. Pretty good from a D/HD student perspective -> higher odds.
