COMP115 general level of coding experience expected (1 Viewer)

[Darius1]

Could people who've done this unit comment on the general level of experience expected? Even though it's titled as an "introductory" unit, I'm concerned that as someone who's interested but has next to zero coding experience, I'll be out of my depth.

Do it. Seriously. It's super easy.

I've seen people who's never done anything like programing before or even had any interest in it (and they have to do it for their degree) get Ds and HDs.
It's crazy stupid easy. Just follow up on the things you need to know and actually try and learn things properly and you'll get an HD.

There was this one test I fully forgot about and didn't know how to answer any of the questions. I took my best guess and 100%ed it. No exaggeration. And it wasn't even a earlier one it was the last one before the final exam.

It's actually really bad that it's designed this way because the next one; COMP125 has a wayyy steeper learning curve, and people come in thinking it's gonna be like 115 and then they get screwed.
