lolHow come I have the luck that they check attendance in half the lectures I have
you can look at the moodle gradebook on the left sidebar
Why is it bad? If it's a problem with the lecturer, you can always go to the alternative one that runs exactly at the same time.I feel like the last two weeks have gone by pretty quickly, either I'm having too much fun or not enough free time
COMP1511 lectures are still really bad, I've stopped going to the ones on Wednesdays. The exercises are improving though, definitely need to think about solutions a little for the challenges.
It's more that the lectures are so incredibly slow - it took our lecturer 4 hours to cover something our tutor then redid in about 10 minutes. Both lectures go at the same pace so going to the lecture won't change much.
Ah alright, well you could always watch the lectures from the previous years taught by Richard Buckland on Open Learning. The problem is that its a different course (1917 vs 1511) - but most of the material should be the same.
No, Andrew Taylor. Spends 2 entire lectures explaining what a while loop is, and constantly makes mistakes on purpose so we can "spot" them - but then takes forever to actually change them, acting surprised when his code doesn't work. With that children's TV "I wonder why that didn't work?" voice.
Yeah he's very like that for COMP1911 (he taught this course last year and the years before) and he's doing it intentionally to incorporate learning to first year students, because after all, it is an introductory computing course. You'll probably have him again for COMP2041 Software Construction, in which he's quite popular for, many former student loved this course and Andrew himself lol.
Sounds annoying from what my peers tell me - They dont have any experience and still think his horribly slow, so they just watch thenewboston videos on youtube instead of lectures.
