CS 6000
Concepts in Computing

Fall 2008, Dr. Ken Hoganson,
COURSE UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!

Textbook: Concepts in Computing, Dr. Ken Hoganson, 2008
.

All lectures will be recorded, streamed, and archived using the Tegrity distance-learning system. On-campus attendance is not required. The lectures for this course may be viewed any time during the semester.

Classes will be held in Clendenin 3028 - the Computer Science Seminar Room.

The purpose of this new course is to facilitate the entry of our students into our graduate computer science program. Our unique program accommodates the admission of many students with various undergraduate majors requiring sufficient industrial computing background. Students from disparate disciplines may lack an overall appreciation of what computer science is, and how it has evolved. This course is intended to broaden the student's appreciation of computer science, while also acclimatizing our new students to the demands and expectations of graduate work in computer science.
