The course provides an overview of Computer Science, covering the history of computers, the impact of computers on society, programming, hardware, theory of computation and artificial intelligence, networks, the Internet and World Wide Web, as well as the ethical use of computer technology. The lab provides hands-on experience to reinforce the concepts introduced in the lecture.

The lab manual for the course is Explorations in Computer Science, by Mark Meyer.

I'll be available for office hours, by appointment, on Wednesdays (and occasionally on other days as well).

You can do very well in the course even if you have no previous computer experience; however, students with little previous exposure to computers will need to spend additional time on the computer outside of lab in order to succeed in the course.

In addition to our lab assignments, Lab Helper often contains tasty hints and tips that just might help with the lab.
