Course Bulletin Board

The course bulletin board is at https://csc.cdf.toronto.edu/bb/YaBB.pl. It is provided for general discussion related to this course. Clarifications of assignments, and questions on the course material should be posted here.

DO NOT use it to discuss assignment solutions. In particular, NEVER publicly post your solution to an assignment, or even your idea of the solution to an assignment, or even one small part of a program that is part of your solution to an assignment, etc. We must consider these as academic offenses!

If you need to ask a question that reveals part of the answer to an assignment then, preferably, talk to me in person (come to one of my office hours or make an appointment to see me). Email should only be used for specific personal issues (such as a missed exam due to illness), or short(!) questions about assignments that cannot be posed without giving away part of the solution (see the email section below).

I will try to answer the bulletin board within one or two business days.

Use your CDF login name and password to login to the bulletin board (there is a login button below the title "U of T Undergraduate Computer Science Community"). If you don't know your CDF account, use the "CDF Username Lookup Tool" available on the CDF link in the menu to the left.

On the bulletin board home page there is a Help button to get you started. You do not need to register your account.


Email

Instructors receive a lot of email (1000s of non-spam messages per term plus 1000s of spam messages per week) so we need your help to make our lives easier and responses quicker:

  • I will try to answer your email within two business days. Do not count on a quicker turn-around than this.

  • If your topic could be of interest to other students, use the bulletin board so they can all benefit from your comment or my response.

  • If you need to ask a question that requires me reading more than a few lines of code, then don't email me. Instead, bring a print out of the problematical code to one of my office hours, or make an appointment to see me.

  • In your email subject line identify this course (csc148), yourself (by your full name or CDF login name) and the point of the email in the subject line. Ideally, it will be of the form:

    csc148 cNxxxxxx: email topic

    Replace cNxxxxxx with your CDF login name and email topic with something descriptive.

    An example of a good email topic is: "Broken link to queue lecture notes". An example of a bad topic is "URGENT question", since we mostly receive questions and we treat all our students equally, judging the urgency based on the situation.

  • Include your full name in the body of the email.
