Mixed

ENGG1330 covers basic Python programming and is generally seen as easy for those with some background, but challenging for beginners who need to do a lot of self-study. The course is good for students looking to get an A+ through hard work on assignments and projects.

Grading

Grading appears generous; many students mention getting good grades despite the workload. However, Assignment 1 and the final exam are crucial in determining the grade.

Workload

Workload can be heavy, especially for beginners who need to do a lot of self-study. Assignments require significant time and effort, with some taking over ten hours.

Assessments

Assessment breakdown includes weekly programming assignments, quizzes, final exam, and group projects. The final exam involves handwritten code and has low tolerance for mistakes.

Teaching

Teaching quality varies; some students find the professor helpful, while others rely heavily on self-study. Lectures are not always engaging or comprehensive.

Tips

Beginners should study ahead of time to manage the workload effectively. Focus on doing assignments early and getting a good grade in the group project and final exam.
