Minor revisions to this schedule may be announced by your instructor but will not be
changed on this page since it is used by several instructors and classes.
Chapter 1-
Welcome to CS 103 - Introduction to Computing! Your instructors want you to have an interesting and
productive experience in this class. Be sure to check this page frequently for announcements and
assignment due dates. In addition, please
read the syllabus carefully
to be sure you understand all class policies and requirements. The syllabus also lists
tentative examination dates.
Remember to save your assignments with the exact names given. Unless otherwise
directed, everything MUST be saved in your CS103 folder which MUST be located
inside your public_html folder in your network home space. Your instructor
has access to this folder for grading purposes. If the assignments are not in the
proper directory and saved with the proper name, they can not be graded.
Chapter 5-
The PC, Mac, or Sun machines that sit on your desktop are general purpose machines.
They can be reprogrammed to perform a variety of functions: simulations, games,
word processing, spreadsheets, database management, etc. The software modules that
are used to reprogram a general purpose computer are called Applications.
In this chapter you will concentrate on a specific application - the spreadsheet.
It will serve as your introduction to programs that demonstrate the power of modern
desktop computers.
Chapter 2-
You will now begin your study of programming using HyperText Markup Language or
HTML. You will need to read this on-line text carefully, take comprehensive class
notes, ask questions in class, and use the help sessions provided by the SAs during the
announced evening hours. Also, note your instructor's office hours listed on the
CS103 page. It is essential that you begin your assignments well before the
due dates so that you can fix your errors when you have problems. (Note the use of
the word "when".)
Also, you will begin your course project in this chapter. Project assignments
build one upon the other. If you miss the deadline for a project assignment, you
will still have to complete that part of the project but you will not receive credit
for it since the assignment was late. (See the late assignments policy in the
Course Syllabus.) Obviously, missing a project assignment deadline can be serious.
If you are having trouble with the project, see your instructor or SA immediately so
problems can be corrected before the assignment due date.
Over the next 8 weeks you
will develop a webpage on a theme of your choice using the programming concepts
discussed in class. The page will be completed in steps and each phase will be
evaluated by your instructor and assigned a project grade. Each phase must be
completed on the due date or you will not receive credit for that phase. However,
you will still need to complete the missed work since the next step in the project
usually depends on the previous steps.
Exam #1-
The first examination is scheduled for SEP. 24 (MWF). It will
include all class material covered from Chapter 1, Chapter 5, and Chapter 2.
All exam sessions will be held in your regular classroom during the regular
meeting time. The course website is closed during all examination sessions.
Final Exam Schedule-
- Exam times are established by the Registrar and can not be changed. Please do not schedule
transportation plans until your last exam has been completed.
