UNSW High School Computing

Subject - University Subject for High School Students.

UNSW in 2009 will offer a first-year level university course for high school students talented in computing studies.

This course is not a HSC subject substitution, but a genuine university course with the same content, assignments and exams as first-year students at UNSW. Students who successfully pass it will then be allowed to skip Computing 1 at UNSW and instead will be enrolled in an elite course.

Details:

• Available to students in years 10 and 11 (and year 12 if HSC studies allows the time)
• Students must attend at least 80% of classes at UNSW, held Wed 4-6pm on the dates below.

• Lectures will be viewed weekly via YouTube or iTunes.

• Students must obtain a result above 65% to qualify for the elite course.
• No previous programming experience is required.
• There is no cost to enrol in this course. Any associated costs will not be covered by UNSW (transport to/from UNSW, etc). Students who do not have access to a computer at home may be given access to UNSW computers if prior arrangements are made.
• Guardian's Permission must be obtained. UNSW will not be responsible for the students outside of class time and have limited liability during class time.
• Other UNSW policies apply (for example, rules about cheating, copying assignments, etc)
