CS 150GREAT IDEAS FROM COMPUTER SCIENCEWeeks 1-8, W 3:35-4:25*, Upson B-17, 1 Credit, S/U ONLY |

| This mini-course is for freshman (and anyone else) who
anticipate that computer science will have a prominent role to play in
their academic careers and beyond. Eight expository lectures will
be used to give snapshots of the field and its rapidly expanding
impact. Using the lectures and source materials, each student will
identify some particular aspect of computer science that is of interest
and put together a small expository website that discusses the related
research challenges and/or applications. In addition, each student
will prepare an 8-semester academic plan that would successfully set the
stage for graduate study or employment in the chosen area of interest.
Click here for instructions on how to set up your CS 150 website. We will offer help with this and general guidance in developing your academic plan beginning the day of the last lecture on October 18. |
