First Blog

Glad to be back at school after an interesting summer, well kinda. First week of classes and I find that I really like some courses I'm taking - mostly because they seem straightforward enough, and they have some interesting ideas.
First class of the session (which also happens to be CSC236), the lecture hall seems overcrowded, this is s challenge that will probably take care of itself cos I'm guessing just like last session many people will stop coming for classes regularly. The course material seems similar to 165 material, so I'm hoping it won't be much tougher. Three days into the session and I really like the course. We've been through induction, case by case proofs, and the first problem set is posted. It seems straightforward, hopefully I won't take this for granted and get a less than good grade on it.
Danny's use of the projector and tablet definitely makes things look more interesting than 165 (a black chalkboard and white chalk). Pretty nice course I'd say, my expectations are high, and they'll probably remain that way just as long as I don't lose interest in the course later on.
I think that's all I have to say for now, not really much has been going on in the course (except for the fact that I was right, the class population did seem to reduce after the first class!); I should have more to say about the course as the days go by (and become weeks, which then become months, ...). Till I write again, ciao.

The day section seems to have a seat for everyone (as of Wednesday).

If your biggest worry about the assignments is them being too easy you may want to check out CSC 240.
