Hellos !

In this course you’ll be introduced to tons of computing related jargon, and it can be pretty overwhelming especially for students who have little IT background.

But no worries! Your seniors before you managed, and so will you!

I think it is really important to learn and familiarise yourself with these words, converse with them and think with them. This attitude to studying becomes especially important when you start getting into programming, knowing the name of design patterns, concepts…etc. Coding gets easier when you have the vocabulary to discuss and google exactly what you’re looking for.

As such, i’m hoping to make this a quick and easy resource for ya’ll to check out what them words be doin.

Update as of week 2:

The slides get pretty good from here on out! So i’ll only be updating the QnAs and solutions for any future in class exercise!

Another update as of week 2:

Okay, so the slides aren’t clear on what is tested and what is not. So i’ll b clarifying them here.

Another update as of a year later and I am no longer a TA for this mod:

These notes were created while I sat in class TA’ing for this mod in 2024, they are largely incomplete and originally formatted for Gitlab Flavoured Markdown.
I’ve done a quick pass-through to fix the formatting for this new deployment, but there probably are still errors so sorry for that in advance!

Please don’t take these notes at face value

Anything related to slide numbers and what is tested/not tested is likely out of date and should be ignored!

I hope these notes could be of some use to you! All the best!!

Disclaimer
