Great conversations, tons of fascinating readings, Questions for Consideration and an essay instead of tests and exams. Loved this course.

“I really enjoyed CS245 (took the E section with Shai Ben-David). I liked how all these concepts like satisfiability and L-structures and soundness/completeness came together and I’m interested in …”
u/PPewt: “… I also don't know if come up again any time soon, but Dave DeVidi has offered a really solid PHIL 371 (one-off course) on substructural logics which is a bit of a tour into the weirder side of logic.”
Incoming 1A student. Why can't I select 300-level courses which do not have prerequisites? It lets me select 200-level courses. 0 points, 12 comments
“What exactly determines which courses show up in the list of electives from which I'm allowed to choose (for Honours Mathematics, if that's relevant)? Why can't I choose, e.g., Hist 340? …”
u/watson-and-crick: “I'm guessing there's a hidden prerequisite requirement to be a certain level to take 300+ courses. It probably doesn't happen often that students in 1A will even want to - that's usually the time to …”
u/watson-and-crick: “… I wonder if the "Antireq: PHIL 371 taken Winter 2014" note is triggering the 300 level restriction? If there are other 200 courses that do it too then I'm not sure. Not sure if you've found the enrollment problems site but maybe it'll help. …”

“How much did Mr. Goose bless you? Did he grant you good luck and magical bell curves? Or did he curse you like UofT and leave you to repeat?”
u/PPewt: “100 in CS466 and 98 in PHIL371... RIP the double hundo dream, but I'm enjoying CS marks for a change after so much PMATH. My highest term average yet (and pretty hard to beat...) anyhow.”
