Hi Aska,<\/p>\n

First of all just wanted to say I’m a huge fan. Your like the Hannah Montana of the internet, student by day, mentor my day as well. Anyway you know what I mean. So I was wondering if I can take computer science courses having never taken computer science courses in high school. Is that possible? Is there beginner computer science classes or naw.<\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

omg i’m so touched<\/a>. that is like the highest compliment i’ve ever been given, and i’ve had my fair share of teachers use my work as examples in class. mostly in primary school, but, you know, i think it still counts.<\/p>\n

generally speaking, no, you don’t need previous experience in computer science to take a computer science class. there are a couple different ‘beginner’ classes you could take. CSC104H1<\/a> is the gentlest, baby introduction to the discipline. CSC108H1 <\/a>is a bit more practical, and introduces you to programming languages and other things that the tech guys at Aska HQ<\/a> know more about than i do.<\/p>\n

however, CSC108H1 has a ‘P’ enrolment control<\/a>, meaning that you can only enrol in it once the priority period has been lifted – that’s August 8th<\/a>. so you’ll have to wait for the horde of first-year comp. sci. students to enrol before picking through any spaces, but if you somehow manage to get into the course, that’ll probably be what you’re looking for.<\/p>\n

cheers,<\/p>\n
