From TigerDirect and Webmuseum, Paris



Welcome!

Welcome to the web site for the Summer 2006 term of CSC 300, "Computers and society."

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 in a CSC POSt or have both a CGPA of 3.0 (or greater) and have completed a half-course in CS.

Informally, you should be ready to think about computers and their place in society, and be prepared to do some research.

Enrolment

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