• Introduction to Computer Science 1

  CAS CS 111
  

  This course is a rigorous introduction to programming for students intending to major or minor in Computer Science, Data Science, and related disciplines. The course introduces numeric, string, and list data, functions, decisions, recursion, iteration, and object-orientation. Applications include matrix operations, image manipulation, games, rules-based and generative artificial intelligence, and searching. Learning to program is a skill that can only be learned through practice -- it cannot be acquired from merely attending a series of lectures. Rather, students will learn through a combination of short readings; mini-lecture videos; interactive examples; and complex problem sets. Students must actively engage with these examples and problem sets to develop both the muscle memory of programming, a mental model of how programs execute and interact with data, and the skills of testing and debugging their code. Students will learn new concepts independently and attend regular problem-set workshop sessions with the instructor to work on problem sets and develop debugging skills. The structure of the class demands that students be intrinsically motivated to acquire programming skills, so that they will be motivated to keep up with a demanding schedule of learning activities and problem sets. To be successful in this course, students must be prepared to dedicate approximately 25-30 hours per week. There are 2 problem set workshops per week, and students need to dedicate 5-8 hours of active preparation before each workshop, as it is not possible to do the problem sets without adequate preparation.
