The intent of this course is to serve as an introduction for the computer science major. This is a rigorous introduction and is not recommended as an introduction to computers in general for the non-major. Lab times are when the computer will be solely available to this class. But you may use the computer at other times as posted. It is expected that you use some time outside of class to complete assigned labs.
Terminals are available in the library at all times the library is open.
Labs are an important part of a programming course, although most often abused. It is your opportunity to get valuable hands on practice. Make the most of it by doing your own work. There will also be a departmental final. In addition, at least 8 laboratory exercises will be assigned.
