Overview
Welcome to the course webpage for the Winter 2010 term of CSC148H/A48H, an Introduction to Computer Science. This course teaches the basics of computer science in Python, which is an industrial-strength programming language used at companies like Google and Industrial Light and Magic.
The instructors (Andrew at UTM; Cathy and Michael at UTSC; Anya, Jim, and Paul at StG) are collaborating on the course in order to provide you with a somewhat uniform offering. The navigation menu to the left contains links to general information, as well as campus-specific details.
The course is delivered through 2 (at StG) or 3 (at UTM and UTSC) lecture hours a week plus at least eight 2-hour closed labs.
Outside of class and lab, you will also complete a set of assignments and tests and a final exam.
