Change in time for CS 253 01 for Spring 2010
We noticed that there is a conflict for between CS 253, CS 282 and MA 220 in the Spring 2010 course schedule. To correct for that, we have moved CS 253 01 to MW 8:00-9:15am (lecture), F 8:00-10:00am (lab)



New Course for Spring 2010: CS 297 Computational Data Analysis
The Computer Science Department is offering a new course for non-CS majors: CS 297 Computational Data Analysis. This course is intended for students in any major* who need to do analysis and visualization of data. We will use the Python programming language and its large collection of open-source libraries to manipulate and display data from a variety of disciplines (Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Geography, Statistics, etc.) The emphasis will be on finding existing modules and tying them together to get the desired results. No previous programming experience is required or expected. *This course is not intended for Computer Science majors and will not count as a required or major elective course for Computer Science majors.

Pre-registration for Spring 2010
Pre-registration for Spring 2010 courses will take place 9-24 November 2009. See your advisor to make an appointment to meet with them. Advisors should have sign-up sheets on their office doors where you can sign up for an advising appointment - appointments begin on 2 November 2009. When you come to your advising appointment, you should have already gone over your transcript, the CS major requirements and the Spring course listing to make a first draft of what you will be taking in Spring 2010. You can view your transcript and degree audit through WebAdvisor. Spring 2010 courses are already up on WebAdvisor. The "Programs" section of this site has information about program requirements and lists of approved science and math courses for fulfilling the ancillary requirements for the major.
