<P>I wish to enroll in/ transfer to COMP1711.  I understand that:

<OL>
<LI>I am not required to do 1711, I am choosing to do 1711.
<LI>I will get no additional credit for doing 1711 rather than 1011.
<LI>Material in 1711 will covered more rapidly than in 1011.
<LI>1711 may involve more assignment work than 1011
<LI>I may find 1711 harder than 1011 and other non-advanced subjects
<LI>Additional material may be covered in 1711 over and above the
    core material taught in 1011.  Some of this additional material
    may be examinable.
<LI>1711 does not assume that I have had any prior programming background
    or experience.  However if I do not have any then I might find it
    harder than students with some background.
<LI>Transferring down to 1011 once term has started will depend on being
    able to attend one of the tutorials which is not full.
<LI>Transferring down to 1011 may initially involve additional
    catchup work as the two subjects will differ in pace and content.
<LI>The 1711 lecture timetable may change.
<LI>1711 might be more fun than 1011, then again, it might not.

</OL>

<P>I have read and understand all the above and STILL wish to do COMP1711.
I agree that this is my own decision and I take responsibility for it.

<h3>Notes</h3>
<BR>1-6: Presumably you already knew these
<BR>7: I added this as last year one student without prior experience
grumbled about it being harder for him.  I should point out that many
students with no prior experience go extremely well in this subject and I can
detect no correlation between past experience and performance in the subject.
However, if you have not programmed before you *will* have to work harder
for the first few weeks.
<BR>8: It's important to note that while there will be a number of 1011
tutorials with vacencies these may not be at times you like.
<BR>9: We strongly suggest that anyone thinking of transferring back to
1011 do so by the end of week 4.
<BR>10: It probably will change.  We'll either have an additional hour following
on from the Thursday lecture, and cancel the Friday one; or an additional
hour following the Friday lecture, and cancel the Thursday one.
<BR>11: The whole point of offering 1711 is to make it more fun for motivated
students.  If you take it but don't enjoy it then you should drop down to
1011 by week 4.
