CS 100 grading policy

In addition to assignments to be announced, grading in CS 100 is based on attendance. Attendance will be taken in every class. You will lose one letter grade for each unexcused absence.


CS 199

This is an easy intro to programming only for students who have never programmed before. For more information, go here.


Small correction to Andres and Sameer's presentation: In your curriculum, you are required to take Math 415. The presentation implies that Math 225 is also an option, but that is no longer true. It also implies that you must take either Math 385 or Math 441 (differential equations); in fact, Math/CS majors must take Math 441, while CS majors are not required to take either one.
