Get Started

This website is the official syllabus of the course. You should explore it fully. We recommend that you explore all of the links from the navigation bar at the top. With that said, there are several things that you must do before the second week of class.

Enroll in Ed Discussions

Use this enrollment link to join Ed Discussions. This is the online discussion form that we will use to answer questions all semester long. Once you completed the enrollment link, you access this discussion forum at any time from either the Resources menu or the EdStem icon at the bottom of the page.

Complete Survey 0

This class has several surveys that count towards your participation grade. These surveys are in CMS, which is what we will use instead of Canvas for submitting your work. At any time you can access CMS either from the Resources menu or the CMS icon at the bottom of the page.

Complete the AI Quiz

Academic Integrity is a very serious issue. We have a very detailed policy about what does and does not constitute cheating in this course. You are expected to read this policy and complete a reading quiz about it in CMS. If you do not complete the quiz satisfactorily by the end of add-period, you may be dropped from the course.

Install Python

Unless you plan to work in Phillips 318 for the rest of the semester, you need to install Python on your computer. We have provided you with step-by-step instructions on how to do this. Furthermore, this is part of the first lab.
