Course description:
C101 is a course designed to give an introduction to computer science and programming. The course assumes no previous experience with computers, but some mathematics background is needed. Students not familiar with basic algebra will be at a disadvantage. Java is the programming language that is used for assignments.

Grades:

• About 12 homework assignments20 points each
• About 12 lab assignments 5 points of the week's homework assignment
