This course will consist primarily of lectures, in-class
presentations, homework assignments, and hands-on experience
with one or more new and novel programming languages.
This course will include an on-going
programming language
project. This project will require students to acquire
in-depth knowledge about a chosen, unfamiliar (to them)
programming language, along with minimal programming
competence in their chosen language. The project will
include both a written and oral report.
The course will include regular homework
assignments (please see my
comments on collaboration and
programming). There will be
NO CREDIT given for late assignments (without
an excused absence) - turn in as much as you can.
Reading assignments should be completed
before the lecture covering the material.
Not all reading material will be covered in the lectures,
but you will be responsible for the material on homework
and exams.
Quizes over the assigned reading
may be given at any time.
The Vision Statement of the Computer Science and Information Systems
Department states that our students are distinctive by:
"Bringing a Christ-centered worldview to our increasingly technological
world."
As one step towards the fulfillment of this objective, each
semester, I will identify an influential Christian writing to be read
and reflected upon by students in my classes throughout the term.
This will be treated as an official component of every course and will
be uniquely integrated and assessed at my discretion, and
included as a component of the quiz grade. Each Monday morning
students should email a brief reflection on the
previous week's assigned
reading to the
readings
email list.
It is my hope that students will not view this as one more task to
complete, but as a catalyst for continued discussion ultimately leading
to a deeper walk with Christ.
The chief end of man is to glorify God, and enjoy Him
forever.
