Student labs are equipped with a Java development environment running under Windows 95. Students may use a Java development environment on their personal computers for course work and assignments. Course notes are required. Normally available in Fall and Winter. Notes CS 113 cannot be counted for credit towards a B.Math Hours degree.
Students actively participate in the problem solving process.
Students are expected to read assigned portions of the text prior to class. In lectures, case studies are developed interactively to demonstrate the problem solving process. Students often work in teams to practice these problem solving skills. Labs allow time to experience implementation. A team project allows students to experience software development and management on a larger-scale problem.
