# Welcome to Computer Architecture

## Greetings

The teaching team of CSC 3050 would like to extend a warm welcome to all students attending our class. We hope that through the course of this semester, students will get to learn a thing or two, and have fun while at it. 

Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you need help. You can find us during office hours or send a message by email – we're always happy to help you.
