CSE8A – Introduction to Computer Science: Java

Units: 3

Course Objectives:
First part of a three track course equivalent to CSE 11. Intended for students whose background has not prepared them for the fast pace of CSE 11. The content of CSE 8A, CSE 8AL, CSE 8B and CSE 11 are the same but CSE 8A, CSE 8AL, and CSE 8B will include more programming practice. Student's self select which course they wish to take.

Course Description:
CSE 8A is an introductory computer science course designed for students interested in computing. No prior programming experience is assumed. As an 8A student you will learn fundamental concepts of applied computer science using media computation. In addition, CSE 8A is part of a three-track course (CSE 8A, CSE 8Al, and CSE 8B) that is equivalent to CSE 11. Students should take CSE 8B, will include more programming practice, to complete this track. Student's self select which course they wish to take.

Format:
3 hours of lecture per week, 1 hour of discussion, and 5 hours of outside preparation.

Prerequisites:
High school algebra

Other restrictions:
Students who have taken CSE 8B or CSE 11, may not take CSE 8A.
