Welcome to CSCA48! This is an Introduction to Computer Science II at UTSC. This course builds on the skills covered in CSCA08 (Introduction to Computer Science I) to help you learn fundamental topics in Computer Science.
The primary keys to success in this course are:
- Practice
- Keep up with lecture material

- Start assignments early
- Practice!

2016-01-10: Ramp-up Session
The ramp-up session (designed for students who did not take CSCA08, but open to all CSCA48 students) will be held on
Friday Jan 15 2-4pm in AC334.
2016-01-10: Practicals
The tentative timetable for practicals is now available. Practicals will begin this week. However,
there will be no formal practical material until week 3. This weeks practicals will be focused on
getting new students up & running with any software requirements, and helping with the transition
to A48. For new students, we suggest looking at the exercises on the
CSCA08 Course Webpage and attempting those (and for anyone who actually took A08, but
didn't get full marks on the exercises, that might be a good idea as well).
The TAs will be happy to help you with anything you need.
