Learning Strategies

You are expected to take an active role in your learning in this course. This includes regular attendance, paying attention in class, reading the textbook, and completing all course requirements. You are encouraged to study with your classmates outside of class. Programming assignments usually require a lot more time than expected, so start early and work some every day.
 

Student Resources Required:

Course Overview:

CSC 121. Introduction to Computer Science I (3) Prerequisite: MAT 111 or 115. Problem solving methods and algorithms in a modern high-level programming language. Introduces one or more programming environments. Emphasis on programming style and the design, coding, and testing of complete programs. A grade of "C" (2.00) or better is required for taking any course for which CSC 121 is a prerequisite. Two lecture and two laboratory hours each week.

Course Information:

This is the third required course for Computer Science majors. Students may declare a major in Computer Science after completion of CSC 121, 133, and 221 with a grade point average of at least 2.5 on these 3 courses.

Every student in CSC 221 must be enrolled in one lecture section and one lab section. You will receive one course grade that incorporates your grades from the lecture and the lab. CSC 221
is not an easy course, but students find it rewarding and well worth the tremendous effort required to complete the course. Students should expect to spend 5 to 10 hours per week on the course outside of class time.

Course Minimum Competencies:

Minimum competencies for this course are found here min-competencies.  Each student is expected to demonstrate a working knowledge of these minimum competencies to successfully complete this course.

Class Format:

Participation:

Regular class attendance is required. Completion of assignments will entail time spent at a personal computer during class hours and outside of class (see ITSD Student Lab Schedule).

Evaluation:

Special Needs:

If you have a disability and need reasonable accommodation in this course, you should inform the instructor of this fact in writing within the first week of class or as soon as possible. If you have not already done so, you must register with the Office of Disability Services in Westside Hall (extension 3746) and obtain a copy of your Accommodation Letter. You should then meet with your instructor to make mutually agreeable arrangements based on the recommendations of the Accommodation Letter.

Code of Academic Responsibility and Conduct:

Students are responsible for submitting their own work. Students who cooperate on oral or written examinations or work without authorization share the responsibility for violation of academic principles, and the students are subject to disciplinary action even when one of the students is not enrolled in the course where the violation occurred.
