COMP112 Schedule
The COMP112 schedule of lectures, tutorials, assignments, tests, and holidays exactly follows the COMP102 schedule (and is largely reproduced below). Similarly, videos of the assignment demos and model answers are at AssignmentVideos and you can see the TimeTable for times and locations of lectures, labs, and tutorials.- the core learning of Java is taking place during the Monday "lecture slot": you should use this time to go over the COMP102 videos appropriate for the week. Look to COMP102 for all the assessment links etc.
- each Thursday we (COMP112) will discuss a new concept, and each Friday we will code up something associated with that concept
- Thursday and Friday lectures will be streamed live as well as recorded - see the links in the schedule below, for specific recordings
- All these video recordings (of the 112 lectures) will also be accessible here, which is the COMP112-lectures folder here. (Note you can always get there via the sidebar at left: click on Blackboard (Videos) and, once there, click on "VStream Videos")
