; COMP416 __Topics in [ArtificialIntelligence]__ : Not so much artificial intelligence as machine learning. This is the course where you just write algorithms for the Weka framework every other week and test them against better algorithms.
; COMP417 __Text Storage and Retrieval__ : A great course if you are interested in compression and search engines. Taught by Ian Witten. Follows on from 317 but isn't quite as great.
; COMP420 __Report of an Investigation__ : 4th year honours paper. A double weighted paper based 100% on an internal research project that takes 8 - 12 months. Normally the first true introduction to self motivated research and serious report writing for a CS student. ''If someone says "I'm doing my 420" then you nod a bit, and then ask them why they are wasting their time talking to you''
; COMP424 - __Topics in Software Engineering__ : Formal methods paper. Z, Z and more Z. Read through 'The way of Z' by jacky and you'll know exactly what to expect in this paper. Essential if you plan to work on very large or mission critical projects.
-; COMP434 - __Software Design__ : Split into two parts. Covers writing reusable software components. In 2003 the first half involved developing [JavaBeans
] that interacted with the Weka project. The second half is an introduction to Microsofts [COM] model and writing components using the [VisualStudio] [IDE]. (Yay, VisualBasic programming in 4th year - not!)

!!Higher level courses
Above and beyond these courses are the [MSc] and [PhD], which are viewed by the university as single course degrees. For [MSc] and [PhD] courses, three things matter:
