How the course works

Studying this course means working through its material in layers. The handout builds your core concepts and vocabulary. The notes compress each topic into quick revision points. The past papers show you the kinds of questions asked in earlier exams, so you can practise in the same style.

How to prepare — subject-specific tips

Do not just read — try it on a computer. Work through the examples yourself, run the code or build the diagram, and use the past papers to check whether you can actually do each task, not just describe it. Keep a simple routine: a little study every day beats a single long session before the exam.

A simple study system

1. Handout first, for concepts. Read the handout to learn the core ideas and vocabulary of the course.
2. Notes, for revision. Go through the notes to lock in each topic's key points in less time.
3. Past papers, for exam sense. Work through all 1 midterm and final-term paper in this collection to learn how questions are asked.
4. Revise in the final days. Revisit the the notes and the past papers and the questions you found hardest, and practise answering them from memory.
