Course summary

mixed

COMP2396 is generally considered an easy course for those who can manage its heavy workload, with clear lectures from a good professor but challenging assignments and finals that heavily differentiate grades. It's recommended as a free elective for ES students or those looking to coast.

Grading

Grading can be confusing and harsh; the final exam heavily differentiates grades, and past papers are not easily accessible.

Workload

The course has a moderate workload with heavy assignments, especially in later parts. Regular attendance is recommended but not strictly necessary for some students.

Assessments

Assessment includes regular assignments (5), a midterm, and a final exam with multiple-choice questions and coding problems. Past papers are not widely shared online.

Teaching

The professor is generally seen as engaging and helpful, though the workload can be challenging. TAs are described as responsible but the course content can be difficult to follow at times.

Tips

Attend tutorials for better understanding of assignments; focus on completing the last two assignments thoroughly for the final exam. Past papers are not shared online, so rely on self-study and practice.
