COMP1091 Solving Problems With Software - Who is doing this subject? (2 Viewers)

[§eraphim]

Hey. I was wondering who was doing this subject in Session 2 this year (I am doing this too). What degrees are you taking? Is it for 1st yrs doing Electrical Engineering or Actuarial/ Finance & Maths?

 

[gman03]

Yo what's sup my superior~!

It is for both Electrical Engineering AND Actuarial/ Finance & Maths and other BSc people who is not doing a Computing major.

I'm not doing it next sem thou....

Take care

Lol. So you're not doing it...Excellent! I can't compete with ppl who have 90+ wams >.<

Do they scale this subject?

EE should do comp 1A and 1B, not this.
I reccomend this course for all commerce students...

 

[asdf]

so is this a dumbed up version of Comp1A or something?

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

lol, i remember this course. see how many langyuages you can learn in 14 weeks.

yeah im doing this subject next sem


wtf we don't do haskell?/


all the past EE people told me they had to do haskell

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.

 

[§eraphim]

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

 

[redslert]

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

 

[McLake]

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.

For all those who did COMP1091 last yr, was your 1st assignment about "Run-Length Encoding"

fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

 

[ezzy85]

i remember that from last year. although godfather and shining still have to be much higher.

 

[MAICHI]

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.
