Implications of a Computerized Society

CMPT 320

Simon Fraser University

Spring 2022

Course Status. SFU policy is not to run hybrid courses: This means that every course is designed for only on-line attendance or only in-person attendance but not both. This is an in-person course. Some of the implications are as follows.

  • Exams must be taken in a classroom.
  • Quizzes will be either in-class or on-line (announced ahead of time).
  • Lecture slides will be posted.
  • There will be no lecture recordings.

Update:

  • SFU President Johnson has announced that as a temporary measure, classes will be run on-line until Jan 24. As far as I know we'll go back to in-person instruction after Jan 24.
  • President Johnson has linked to a letter from the Provincial Health Officer with more details about BC policy regarding post-secondary instruction. The province recommends in-person instruction.
  • Jan 21: The provincial health officer has written a second letter to University Presidents about return to campus.

Presentations

Papers (Term or Presentation Paper)

  • Information about the Term/Presentation Paper. Writing guidelines.
  • You are free to choose your own topic, though I suggest discussing it with me after class or during office hour. In case you are looking for ideas, here are two resources.
    • If you feel unsure about writing a paper, I would start with the textbook site. The book has a number of suggested essay topics, described in considerable detail. They include extensive suggestions for how to structure your paper and how to get started.
    • If you are comfortable with writing a paper but would like ideas and suggestions for topics, I have compiled a list of sample topics.
  • You may be interested in participating in the undergraduate writing contest.
