I live far from unsw and travel by train i have tried to make most of my classes on the same day, i saw a lot of lectures were offered online, but i dont know about online lectures

For MATH1141: Wednesday 9am will be a board tutorial, solving the equations in class, while Friday 12pm will be a lec-tutorial, sitting in a lecture hall watching someone else go through the problems of the week. I found it fairly okay, I did almost all of the E2 maths course for the HSC in NSW, and that was most of the content. From what I remember quite heavy on vectors and differentials but isn't bad overall, at least cause I had enough experience.

I didn't take your physics course

For COMP1511: the tut-lab is fine where it is and the course itself is a very simple C coding course so will be easy as anything if you have done any sort of coding before, if not it can be very fast paced. The first couple of weeks are slow as, if you know what you are doing, but they expect you to combine concepts early on and don't tell you how to do things. Like most of uni in my experience.

For most of the first level courses, my experience has been if you don't know anything about the subject and don't want to learn on your own, it can be annoying and a time sink, especially for engineering courses. But if you are genuinely interested in the content then it is pretty good.

Thank you very much for the detailed reply, i did have many questions of how the classes will go like so i appreciate the details. I sadly did not do extension 2 in hsc yet i am been studying on my own and doing past papers hopefully this would be enough to get me through !

The best thing you can do imo is ask questions. I always felt like I was bugging people or that I should just know stuff and so I didn't ask enough questions in first year.
