Adding more practice exercises to CSC110Y1 and CSC111H1

··139 words·1 min

With Professor David Liu on sabbatical the reins of the course were handed to me for 2021. In preparation, I hired three work-study students: (Daniel Lazaro, Dorsa Molaverdikhani, and Mark Bedaywi). Despite being on sabbatical, Professor Liu joined in on meetings and helped me co-supervise. The work-study term was shorter (approximately two months) than usual because I was expecting the birth of my first child.

Daniel, Dorsa, and Mark created additional practice quizzes and exercises for the course that year. As is the norm with CSC110 and CSC111, these practice materials covered both programming and theory. In the 20219 term, 11 weekly practice quizzes were released for CSC110Y1. Another 11 were released in 20221 for CSC111H1, except this time they were time-limited. The time limits were added to better simulate a supervised assessment, like a midterm or final exam.
