Ran in 7 of the last 7 terms. Winter 2027: scheduled, 2 lecture sections. Spring 2027: schedule not out yet.
A broad introduction to mathematical logic. The notions of logical consequence and derivation are introduced in the settings of propositional and first order logic, with discussions of the completeness theorem and satisfiability

DO NOT TAKE WITH EVAN SUNDBO. Granted it is his first time teaching like ever - but the level of disorganization and misleading information is baffling. He would post assignments without having his own solutions and would later retract questions because he realized they're "not actually possible with what we have learned so far." In terms of the final, he made it a MUST PASS final and he told us it would be similar to the midterm (which had an 80 avg), but it was so much more difficult. He did not provide any practice/sample finals (which is something every previous offering did) and prior to the final we did not even have solutions for the last 2 assignments, let alone grades/feedback.…

11 Assignment(15%), Midterm(25%), Final(60%). No need to pass the final to pass the course.
The midterm is extremely easy, the course average is 85+, and basically repeat the exercise in the course notes. BUT the final is hard, you really need to memorize the definition(for content after midterm), prof tested it by WRITING THE EXACT DEFINITION!

Fairly easy and fun course but if you take it online be prepared to receive zero help. TA's never answered Piazza questions, often didn't get replies to regrade requests (prof said they were "intentionally ignored" whatever that means), when posting which TA's marked which questions we were given names of people who weren't even our TA's, prof didn't even answer any piazza questions for over a month. Google can't even help explain most of the concepts because our notation was different. If it wasn't for the fact that it came easy to me, there is no way I would have done that well.

Took this course over a coop term, and it was light and manageable. The course can get a bit boring if logic is not your thing.

not a hard or useful course, just long and boring. Overall kinda easy though and the practice final had a few similarities to the actual final which is nice. I did not bother watching the online videos (kinda boring), reading the slides was enough for me.

“I am on coop this term and need to take 2 courses to meet my requirements and graduate on time. I’ve taken amath 250 which is online but the prof for cs 246 keeps saying I shouldn’t take it this term …”
u/WinSlow1929: “take cs 338 instead its so much easier for 246 the project is non-trivial and you need to rely on other people's notes, play it safe and take an easier course. pmath330 is also online”

“I’m trying to finish my degree requirements and needed a 300/400 level math course to do. However I’m currently working full time in Toronto and can’t make it to lectures. …”
u/WinSlow1929: “u could do pmath 330 online too if u really wanna do 320 maybe the prof has recommended textbooks you could use to self-study”
