Semester One - 2023

Easy enough course, weekly code runners are a ceebs tho, but manageable, exam is a setup

Semester One - 2022

If you have prior experience this will be a very easy course. If not… well 25% of my class failed to answer more than 4 questions, and only 39% passed at all.

Semester Two - 2023

Gentle introduction to programming. Didn't know any before this course. I find that the content was explained well and the examples given in the video lectures were very helpful. Don't fall behind.

Summer School - 2023

Easy paper. Doable even with ZERO prior coding experience. If you've every done python before this will be a walk in the park.

Semester One - 2023

This is a pretty tricky course. It is definitely doable if you put in the work, but there is a reason that a significant number of people fail this paper every sem. Still, it gives a good overview on a number of topics and is generally pretty well run. I'd definitely recommend putting in some coding work before you pick up this paper though
