Welcome!

Welcome to the web site for the Winter 2006 term of CSC 104, "The why and how of computing."

Term marks Term marks are now posted, including adjustments for medical excuses. Let me know if they match your records. The participation mark averages your best two results from lectures, tutorials, tutorial exercises, and the wiki.

There is a course information sheet (in PDF format). I'll discuss this in the first lecture, and you may request a paper copy.

Prerequisites and Exclusions

The Arts and Science Calendar is the official source of information, but the main considerations are:

  • You are a U of T student and haven't taken (and aren't in the process of taking) other computing courses.

Informally, you should be ready to think about computers, their history and place in society, and experiment a bit with programs.

Enrolment

ROSI (Repository of Student Information) and your College Registrar handle enrolment.

Related UofT Sites

CSSU (Computer Science Student Union): work for a better CS undergrad experience.
Accessibility Services: overcome obstacles to learning.
Student Services: health, housing, counselling, careers, etc.
Writing Help: writing is an important component of Computer Science. Donald Knuth claims that programs are primarily works of literature, and as a side-effect make computers do useful things.
