Take UNSW Computing 1 with Richard Buckland online for free, starting soon! (1 Viewer)

[skyrockets1530]

Hi All,

UNSW Computing will be running a university level computing course online for high school students starting on October 15th. It includes lectures from famous lecturer Richard Buckland, goes for 12 weeks and will give you a taste of what it's like to be a developer / software engineer. If you're doing your HSC when it starts, you can enrol and just catch up when you're done with the HSC.

Full description is here: https://www.openlearning.com/courses/unsw/computing1

It's free and no computing experience is required but the course will move quickly and promises to be a lot of fun. You won't receive any university credit for the course, but if you do really well that probably means you should take Computing

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks

Looks cool I'm assuming there won't be a computing 2? (I did hs1917 in '10)

Awesome! There could be an online one eventually or you could enrol in computing at UNSW and you'll take computing 2 for certain

I enrolled a while back, hoping to get something out of it!

Haha, very subtle I'm planning on going to UNSW anyway.

How will this work? Also, can you drop out at any time?
