Welcome Message

Dear student,

Welcome to the Introduction to Computing (CS110) course I will be teaching this semester!

• Please make sure that you meet the prerequisites for the course: Math 140 credits or placement; or Math 130 with a B or higher in the previous semester; or permission of the instructor.

• Please read through the course website very carefully and acquaint yourself with the course mechanics.

• Please take care of the following action items:
  • Sign up for iClicker (active learning platform) using your UMB email address and add the course CS110 to your dashboard. You will need to purchase an iClicker Student App Subscription to participate in the in-class quizzes.
  • Sign up for Piazza (Q&A platform) and Gradescope (grading platform) using the invitations that will be sent to your UMB email address.
  • Setup the programming environment on your computer.
  • Complete the mandatory questionnaire (all six questions) available on Gradescope. You will not be allowed to submit your assignments or take the exams until you complete the questionnaire.
  • Complete the Supplemental Instruction Poll on Piazza.
  • Sign up for a CS account.

• CS110 is a very demanding course, so please be prepared to work really hard from the outset, or else you will quickly fall behind and end up with a poor/failing grade.

• If you are currently waitlisted, you will be enrolled automatically if enough students drop out before the add/drop deadline. Please note that I will not go over the enrollment capacity for the course, which is set at 200.

• NOTE: During the first week we will only meet for lectures. Discussions and SI sessions will start from the second week, ie, the week of Sep 9.

I look forward to having you in my class.

Best,

Swami
