Hi all,
Code Party 0 has been booked for 6PM, Thursday, January 25, in STC 0040. We will have a projector for the event so you can show off your cool side project if you want. But don't worry, it's not a hackathon.
We will hold a General Meeting at this event to elect a Secretary and possibly amend our constitution. Currently, the only nominee for Secretary is Arshia Mufti. Nominations can be submitted in-person to Patrick Melanson, our President, or to cro@csclub.uwaterloo.ca.
Dr. Andrew Morton will be giving a brief talk on CS 493/CS 494, also known "fourth-year design project for CS". The calendar description for 493 is attached below.
Students work in teams on substantial open-ended computer science problems as part of the CS 493/494 course sequence. Lectures describe project management fundamentals and ethical and legal issues in computing. Students form teams, select projects, define project goals, perform risk assessment, establish a project plan, and develop a prototype. Possible project topics can include development of software systems, analysis of extensions to existing systems across the field, and experimental computer science.[Offered: F] Prereq: CS 341, 350; Computer Science students only. Not open to Software Engineering students.
Hope you see you all there in STC 0040!
