CMPT376 Blogging, apparently

When I first walked into CMPT376 on Friday, I wasn't sure what to expect. To be quite honest, it will probably end up being a lot like CMPT320 except with more emphasis on writing ability and not critical thinking. I liked 320, so chances are I'll like 376! At the very least, I won't have to do much more programming. As much as I like computers and being geeky, I don't like programming for school. SFU just doesn't have enough Applied Programming. Most of it is to test your theoretical knowledge of concepts learn in class. What's the point of this? Why not throw problems at us instead, suggest some possible ways to solve it, and let us at it? Wikipedia is such a bountiful resource pool for knowledge that we won't really need textbooks in the future. Why do people in first year have to buy a silly $120 textbook which is next to useless compared to wiki? Textbooks are boring.
