 CSC111H1 is a normal half-year course offered in the winter semester as a direct continuation of CSC110Y1. Content is more abstract and theoretical than 110; principally, you'll be investigating Recursion and Data Structures to help organize your programs and optimize runtime. 
 
 It should be noted that **neither of these courses assumes any prior experience in programming or Python;** even if it's your first time coding, you'll totally be able to learn and succeed!
-Naturally, you should plan your course load accordingly; if you're following a typical 5.0 credit per year full-time course load, you would ideally split that as 2.5 credits per term - that is, 5 half-year courses per term. (Full Year courses such as MAT137/MAT157 take a half credit per each term). CSC110 would take 1 of those 5 spots in the fall semester, leaving 4 electives (1 of which would be taken up by MAT137/MAT157). In the winter semester, 1 spot is taken by CSC111 and 1 by your choice of Calculus, leaving 3 electives for students strictly aiming for the CS Major/Specialist; note that DS Specialists ***must take STA130H1***. <!-- Below is a sample look at a timetable that summarizes this. -->

 Before we go any further, there are a few good official resources for this section; check [this guide to First-Year Math courses](https://www.mathematics.utoronto.ca/undergraduate/current-students/guide-first-year-mathematics) and also [the MAT137Y1 vs MAT157Y1 portion of the Incoming First-Year CS webpage](https://web.cs.toronto.edu/undergraduate/incoming).
 
 So yes, you’re thinking – this is a CS guide! Why is it talking about math courses? Mathematics and Computer Science go hand-in-hand (in particular, CSC165 and all the theory courses have a very mathematical approach). We are very much like our math counterparts on the theoretical side. This is why you'll pick a calculus course in your first year, and your options are highly varied.

 For some other structured opportunities for engaging with the CS community, the Sidney Smith Commons offers several good programs worth exploration. Chief among them are the [**First Year Learning Communities (FLC)**](https://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/future/academic-opportunities/first-year-learning-communities) and [**Second Year Learning Communities (SLC)**](https://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/current/academics/learning-communities). In FLCS and SLCs, small groups of first or second-year students in the same discipline meet bi-weekly with faculty advisors, staff, and peer mentors to share advice, build connections, and explore academic and career pathways. Programming can include academic skill development, networking with faculty and alumni, workplace visits, and ongoing guidance from upper-year mentors, helping students strengthen their academic independence and sense of community. It's a great opportunity to get to know fellow students in your program and acquire helpful skills and resources along the way!

 Unfortunately, racism and prejudice exist, even at an academic institution like UofT. I hope that people reading this will think about these statements and their actions. If you feel like you don't belong, remember that there are groups, communities, and good people on campus that can help you. Never lose faith in humanity.

 ### Hackathons
 
 For those of you who don’t know what a hackathon is, it’s basically a 1-3 day event where you and your team get together to build something, like an app which solves a real-world problem, or just something which you think is really cool in general - and you can win prizes for it, learn new technologies and get free food!!! There are a lot of hackathons that you can join. It’s free about 95% of the time, and you get the opportunity to meet lots of company reps and students from around the globe. UofTHacks is our premier hackathon (that’s hosted on campus), so be on the lookout for more details later this year. Also, check out [MLH](mlh.io) for a full list of hackathons both in Canada and around the world (A lot of the US ones are popular as well, if you’re comfortable with going to the United States for a weekend). Remember, you don’t have to be experienced to attend a hackathon - there are lots of workshops offered throughout these events, and you can always just go for the experience, which we can confirm is awesome.
 If you really, *really*, **really** wanna be on top of things, check out the [Student Group Opportunities Board](https://sop.utoronto.ca/opportunities/) or the weekly DCS newsletter on the [CS Undergrad Quercus Page](https://q.utoronto.ca/enroll/EMFCPB).
