• CURRENT COURSES

  Intro to CS

  cs110

  This course provides an introduction to computer programming focusing on how to design programs. We will learn the steps involved in programming–from analyzing a problem to coding that problem in Python. The course takes an active, hands-on approach to learning. Students will spend much of the class time exploring, experimenting, and evaluating using their own laptops.>>

  Operating Systems

  cs405

  The course covers the underlying structure of modern operating systems. The programming component starts with a bootloader--that component of a computer that loads the operating system.>>

  Data Mining

  cs470

  The course covers basic data mining techniques including those used for collective intelligence applications. We will experiment with these methods using Python and an open source data mining tool called Weka.>>
