Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2016

Again, I refer you to: http://community.boredofstudies.org.../347677/my-degree-impossible.html#post7103871

(if you are still doing CS + Bioinformatics)
Ha sorry you keep having to remind me of that post, I haven't forgotten it promise thanks!

I did forget you answered my dilemma in it though, because before I didn't think what UOC I needed to complete etc.

+ 30 UOC of Science courses (ex. COMP courses)
+ 30 UOC of CSE courses (Level II or III) - this is where you have the opportunity to double major in Computer Science
+ 12 UOC of Free Electives (any course offered at UNSW ex. Gen Ed courses)
Where do the free electives come from? It was my understanding I wasn't allowed them in my duel degree / didn't count.

I will check this again tomorrow as it's late and can't think.

@flop21 what do you do in your 2nd computing subject (this semester)
Is it more C programming?
Have you done any OOP. (I know c is not OO)

Yeah it's still using C, and no OOP. First sem comp was 'the art of programming', second sem comp is 'the science of computing'. So there's more of a focus on the science side (i.e. we're scientists who observe, but we're the only ones that can actually change what we're observing). I think the next comp course is then more focused on design.

Check out the course outline:

https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/COMP1927/16s2/outline
This course deals with data structures, algorithms and software implementation techniques.

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2016

oh yeah that can be a pain sometimes especially if u forget a bracket or something, gg marks
MapleTA literally tells you what you got wrong BEFORE submitting, so not that big of a deal.

But god damn I hate those online tutorials so much. Too much crap, I just want to get straight into how to do the questions in the exam.
