CS 100 Fundamental Ideas in Computer Science (3) Fall2011

Cover of textbook Learning to Program with Alice

This course satisfies a General Education requirement under II.A.4 Mathematics/Quantitative Reasoning.
Prerequisite: Satisfaction of the Entry-Level Mathematics requirement.
Topics:
Capabilities and applications of computers.
Algorithmic problem-solving methods and computer programming.
Using computers to examine questions from other fields of study.
Practical and theoretical limits to computation.
Machine intelligence and heuristic problem solving.
Social and legal impact of computers.

CS 301 Computers and Society

This course deals with the impact of computers on us as individuals and on our society. The widespread use of computing technology has changed the way we work, play and interact with other people. These changes have created a flood of new social and legal issues that demand critical examination.

Course Objectives - After successfully completing this course, you will:

understand how computing and information systems give rise to social issues and ethical dilemmas
be familiar with some of the issues you may face as a member of a complex technological society
be able to discuss the benefits offered by computing technology in many different areas as well as the risks and problems associated these technologies
understand some social, legal, philosophical, political, constitutional and economical issues related to computers and the historical background of these issues
be able to explore the arguments on all sides of a controversial issue, and argue convincingly for the position you select
have an increased awareness of current social and legal developments related to computers

CS440 Social and Ethical Issues in Computing

In Fall 2010, Stewart presented this innovative coarse allowing students to investigate, discuss and explore the deeper possibilities that a career in Computer Science may present for them. Our textbook is Gift of Fire by Baase and the curriculum is available by the first meeting of class. Hope to see you then.

SDSU Fall '09 course. Impact of computers, applications, and benefits, copyright, privacy, computer crime, constitutional issues, risks of computer failures, evaluating reliability of computer models, trade and communications in the global village, computers in the workplace, responsibilities of the computer professional.

CS 490 Senior Seminar (for majors) Fall 2009

University seminar is a one unit pass/fail course designed to acclimate students to university life. By the end of the semester, you should "know the ropes" of the university, have been exposed to strategies for college success, and started to build a peer group.

CS 524 Compiler Construction

Spring '08 course for computer science students who wish to learn how this essential programming tool, the compiler, accomplishes its many, varied tasks (efficiently). This is a course with a nicely balanced focus on practice (code writing) and theory (recognizing and parsing languages to translate between a higher level language and assembly language). Our text book is the 2006 [Dragon Book 2nd Ed.].

CS 310 Data Structures

Fall 2007 - CS 310 is a fundamental, required upper division course in the Computer Science major which builds on a student programming background in an Object Oriented Programming language, Java, to formalize the understanding of data structures and the algorithms that effectively manipulate them on a computer.

Stewart taught CS 310 Data Structures in Fall 07. This is one of the fundamental courses for computer science majors, as well as for majors from other departments who already have a reasonable background in programming in Java 5. Our text book is Data Structures and Abstractions wieh Java, 2nd Ed, by Carrano. There are significant programming assignments along with lecture and discussion of the ideas for effective creation and use of data structures, as well as consideration of their efficiencies in the run-time environment.
