COMP112 Schedule
The COMP112 schedule of lectures, tutorials, assignments, tests, and holidays exactly follows the COMP102 schedule. See the joint TimeTable for times and locations of lectures, labs, and tutorials.- the core learning of Java is taking place during the Tuesday "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 Wednesday here in 112 we will discuss a new concept involving computational thinking
- Each Friday we will code up something associated with that concept (plus some Fridays we will also look at the Challenge parts of assignments, and explore some examples of student work).
