Courses

The division offers a range of courses, including:

• CS 11: Computer Language Lab
  • 3 units (0-3-0), second and third terms
  • Prerequisites: CS 1 or instructor's permission
  • A self-paced lab that provides students with extra practice and supervision in transferring their programming skills to a particular programming language
  • The course can be used for any language of the student's choosing, subject to approval by the instructor
  • A series of exercises guide students through the pragmatic use of the chosen language, building their familiarity, experience, and style
  • More advanced students may propose their own programming project as the target demonstration of their new language skills
  • This course is available for undergraduate students only; graduate students should register for CS 111
  • CS 11 may be repeated for credit of up to a total of nine units
