  Introduces central ideas of computing and computer science, instills practices of computational thinking, and engages students in the creative aspects of the field. Also introduces appropriate computing technology as a means for solving computational problems and exploring creative endeavors. Requires some programming.

  Course Learning Outcomes

  • An ability to use computing tools and techniques to create computer program artifacts.
  • An ability to use multiple levels of abstraction, models, and simulation in computation.
  • An ability to use algorithms to develop and express solutions to computational problems.

  Discussion Forum

  We will be using Piazza, which is a forum website that you can post questions and get answers from TAs, the professor, and classmates. Every student should have received an invite to the CSE 101 Fall 2020 class. You can also check out this brief tutorial on using Piazza.
  Everyone is expected to:

  1. Please use this platform responsibly and maintain a friendly and helpful atmosphere at all times;
  2. Not use this platform for non-course related issues or discussions; and
  3. Additionally, do not post more than a few lines of source code from an attempt at a homework problem. Do not post the solution to a homework problem or a link to a website containing the solution. For more extensive help reviewing or debugging code, you should visit office hours.
  Access to the discussion platform is not a required component of the course, and as such, any violation of the above (especially if it compromises the learning environment for other students) by an individual can lead to their removal from the discussion forum.
