Comp Sci 1MD3
I just wanted to ask computer science students of whether or not i should take Comp Sci 1MD3.

I am in in the business faculty and will be taking this as an elective. Have no experience in

programming whatsoever and didnt take any classes like this in high school. I am very interested in

computers though and am good at math if that helps.

I don't think it would be worthwhile to take it. If you are interested in technology wait until your third year. Take a look at the course outlines for 3KA3, 3KD3.

It's an introductory course for programming and the programming language we'll be using is a scripting language called Python which is really 'noob friendly' in terms of it's readability and transparency. I have to take it since it's a mandatory course but to take it as an elective depends on your background in programming in general I guess.
