In this course there will be fixed times where the TA's will be located in BA2210 available to help you. They will be wearing stickers indicating they are the CSC104 TA. I highly recommend you attend these regularly if you have any difficulty with any of the course material. One learns computer science, in part by thinking, but largely by doing, and it's natural to try things, make mistakes and learn to do them better. These times are:

Tuesday Nov 29: Please hand in your essay in class by printout and on MarkUs with a filename of your choice.
Tuesday Nov 29: Due to problems with the CDF servers, hosting your website will be optional rather than required for A3.
Monday Nov 28: Marks for A2 have been released. The average is 77 percent. I expect this to increase as there appear to be some assignments where no file was visible. If your mark is unusually low, please contact me to deal with this issue (some of your files may be invisible to the markers).
Friday Nov 25: A webpage setup FAQ This is useful for A3 webpages if you don't have yours up.

Monday Nov 7: A2: Earlier versions of the question 2 code had "return targetPicture" located inside the for loop. The new tabbing has correctly moved it outside.
Monday Nov 7: A2: Please follow the loop order in the revisedQ2 code, and not the loop order originally suggested in the question.
Monday Nov 7: A2: A typo in the A2 code involving a misplaced bracket has been corrected. The line (ySetter + 1 %2) should read (ySetter+1)%2.
Friday Nov 4: A2: MarkUs submission for A2 is enabled. Grace days are enabled. MarkUs requires the new files for Q2 and Q3.
Friday Nov 4: A2: I have posted revised source code for A2 due to it being more difficult than I anticipated. The revised code is in A2's assignment section and should make the assignment easier.

Monday Oct 24: I am closing remark requests on MarkUs and ask that you submit them by e-mail. The current remark version is erasing all existing marks not just for the requested questions.
Monday Oct 24: A practice midterm is posted along with solutions. I recommend trying the problems on your own before going the solutions. Solutions are as .py files so you can run them on pictures!
Monday Oct 24: A beta version of Assignment 2 is posted a final version will be up by the start of class on Wednesday.
Lecture 6 Code is up (8:15PM wednesday). A reminder that "Exercise:" is something I've recommended for you to do that may appear on an assignment.
The second half of A1 is marked, but the first half will be delayed until friday. The mark distribution for the second half was:
A+ 21; A 9; B 9; C 7; D 6; 40-49 9; F 6
I'll discuss this further in lecture.
Chapter 07 slides are posted.
Chapter 04 slides are posted. I understand the difficulty with copying multiple pixels onto the same location I will be posting additional resources for this on Friday (after A1 has been handed in).
I will be having additional office hours for assignment 1 in BA2200:
Friday October 7th: 11am to 2pm
Tuesday October 11th: 2pm to 4pm

Accessibility services is looking for a volunteer notetaker for CSC104. Go to: http://www.studentlife.utoronto.ca/accessibility/pcourselist.aspx or come in person to Accessibility Services 215 Huron St. Suite 939 to sign up. The notetaker will receive a certificate of recognition, and feedback on their notes which has been shown to improve their notetaking skills.
Assignment #1 is up.
For the sound unit in this course, if you want to work in the CDF lab, you will need headphones. This applies when using your own laptop (to avoid disrupting other students), but CDF computers will not play sounds unless you are using headphones.
A common problem students have is that UNIX does not display any characters when you type a password (no *'s or anything of that nature). Nothing is going wrong, just type and hit return/enter and it will work.
MarkUs will be used to hand in assignment solutions. You must log in to submit your assignment using your CDF account. Ensure you have your password set up from in the lab well in advance of the deadline. Instructions for MarkUs: MarkUs Assignment Submission .

REVISED MARKING SCHEME for Q2 and Q3
For A2 Q2 you will make a checkerboard pattern of 10 by 10 squares, which alternate from picture 1 and picture 2.
While previous tests are available on the old course webpage, there will be some differences as some of the material has been changed or refined and the order of presentation is different. Rely more on the course notes and the test advice given in lecture than on the previous tests.
This section will contain exercises posted from time to time for practice, or exam advice.
Some Binary Number references and practice problems. Do not do any problems with multiplication or division that is not needed for this course.
This section will contain lecture slides and other material for the course which is fair game for tests. I am planning on posting slides before lectures and I recommend you read over them briefly as part of your weekly work, and flag questions you may have.
The same exam review lecture slides as in the Exam Review Section

None of the material in this section will be tested directly and you are not responsible for knowing it. It is my hope that you get interested in some of the topics enough to spend some time here.
