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 (attendance platform) using your UMB email address and add the course CS110 to your dashboard
  • Follow up on the invitations that will be sent to your UMB email address to sign up for:
    • Piazza (Q&A platform) and
    • Gradescope (grading platform).
  • Setup the programming environment on your computer.
  • Fill out the questionnaire available on Gradescope.
  • Complete the Supplemental Instruction (SI) poll.
  • 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 11.

I look forward to having you in my class.

Best,

Swami
