Prerequisite change for CMPT 150

The Proposal

Add the following to the calendar description for CMPT 150. "Prerequisites: None. Strongly Recommended: MACM 101 and CMPT 120, or MACM 101 and substantial programming background."

Rationale:

Currently there are no prerequisites for CMPT 150, but it has been observed that students had stronger performances when (a) they had past programming experience and (b) they had completed MACM 101. Over the last few years, our academic advisors have been steering students in this direction. This change makes that advice official.

Note: We do NOT expect the same notation to appear for ENSC 150.
