On Reddit: "The coding is cits1401 level (maybe easier) and you do pseudo code in exams (no need to memorise pesky functions). Your group picks the project, it can be anything you find interesting just so long as it's loosely related to numerical methods. Just don't go too crazy like my gro…"
On Reddit: "This is the numerical methods unit right? It's ok imo... your experience will be dependant on the group u choose... also don't use chat gpt, it's a lot more obvious than u think, and you get peer reviewed by another group that, if your paper is a frustrating read, will report you"
