CSC 148 INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER SCIENCE

Instructor: Michelle Craig

This page is material specific to the UTM section of the course. It is intended to accompany the main 148 pages..

unofficial final results

Notice that you were required to achieve 40% on the final examination in order to pass the course. If your mark calculates to more than 50 but your exam mark is below this cut-off your course mark should be 47. If your unofficial grade is a few (at most 3) marks higher than you grade on ROSI, then you should know that your grade on ROSI was incorrect due to a clerical error. It will eventually be corrected to match this unofficial grade. If it doesn't change in a month, you should come and see me during an office hour.

April 11: Tutorial or not Tutorial?

Question: I thought you said in class that the Wednesday and Thursday tutorials would take place this week, but the 148 web-site says otherwise. Which is correct?
Answer: There are no tutorials on St. George. On Erindale we will have tutorials on Wednesday and Thursday. TA's will take questions about course material, talk about writing a good exam and then do sample questions from old exams. There will be no marks associated with these tutorials.
Question: But what about if my tutorial is Friday?
