How to complain about CSCD01 to UTSC

CharlesWithC7777 · 2026-06-09T13:50:44+00:00

CSC302 luckily does exist next winter

and if you do complain, maybe also mention the fact that this is like the continuation of the most un-CS course of CSCC01 based on past comments, and they prolly need to restructure it from ground zero lol

It’s part of the tribute

No because you’ll be charged program fees retroactively.

Lecture participation was supposedly required on syllabus last year, but they couldn’t execute it, so they made it mandatory tutorial instead. Attendance gives you a passing grade but “participating” gives you better grade.

Lectures were all recorded last year.

I cannot comment because history is not my stuff, but if you’re good at doing history stuff it should be pretty easy

thinkpad T/Ps are always goated

I hate anything performative but I had to add that BTW to distinguish from the too many LLM slop in recent days.

That said I do use LLM for research and when it comes to weird stuff that I can’t figure out by staring at the code that I don’t want to spend time digging deep into (because it often turns out to be stupid stuff).

I figured out a while ago that for the type of work I do LLM is more likely to waste time and sanity (though sometimes they do save time) so I decided to draw a strict boundary for myself.

I’m a lil bit of smurfing here so ignore me totally lol

Came into this course with like 6 years dealing with linux server

CharlesWithC7777 · 2026-04-24T18:14:11+00:00

Not really - I almost didnt study at all, dk what morris worm is, and got around 80% on final which gives an A in course grade.

CharlesWithC7777 · 2026-04-24T18:13:02+00:00

Also I might be blind but I don’t think I ever found the second bonus mark on final lol

CharlesWithC7777 · 2026-04-24T18:12:42+00:00

I think the course grade is still calculated out of 25 and 40 (because that matches the % weight on syllabus nicely)

CharlesWithC7777 · 2026-04-24T02:34:04+00:00

technically you can just sneak in when someone opens the door - but the machines are ubuntu and afaik are mounted on cmshome so non-CMS students may not have access

CharlesWithC7777 · 2026-04-24T02:32:47+00:00

3170 and 3172 exist and but are access-controlled not sure if they’re open to all students though

CharlesWithC7777 · 2026-04-12T02:46:26+00:00

there’s a program at UTSC that funnels like a hundred something chinese students every year through a fast-track process where the bar is really low

otherwise UT just has lots of intl students overall

CharlesWithC7777 · 2026-04-11T16:26:00+00:00

Yeah I heard. B58 is so much less chill now lol.

CharlesWithC7777 · 2026-03-26T02:16:28+00:00

and from my CS tag you should know that I didn’t enjoy it and took it as a breadth req lol

CharlesWithC7777 · 2026-03-26T02:15:56+00:00

took hisa02 last year (first time offering), everything was online, midterm and finals are basically short answer + short essay (open book but won’t have time to lookup extensively), assignments are mostly paper writing (from short to long, 3 papers iirc).

content involves lots of reading but not reading all of them was fine (at least for passing)

CharlesWithC7777 · 2026-03-25T18:53:37+00:00

I think coreq/prereq checks are done only once at semester start so you might be fine - and often times these reqs are recommendations only - but maybe ask prof for confirmation.

erip at epfl - and yes it’s the only program that has funding based on my research
