CIS 110 FALL 2016: Introduction to Computer Programming

Introduction to Computer Programming is the first course in our series introducing students to computer science. In this class you will learn the fundamentals of computer programming in Java, with emphasis on applications in science and engineering. You will also learn about the broader field of computer science and algorithmic thinking, the fundamental approach that computer scientists take to solving problems.

Announcements

Office Hours Sep 5-8

Will, Benedict and Adam will all have their usual office hours in Levine 612, as posted on the staff page and on the schedule page. (Beendict will not have office hours on Monday, because it is Labor Day.)

TAs will be holding office hours Mon (yup! office hours on Labor Day), Tue, Wed, and Thu from 3pm - 8pm in Moore 100B. These hours are also posted on the schedule page, on the Moore 100B tab. Starting the week of Sep 12, TA office hours will be extended, and will be held in both Moore 100B and in Ware College. We will make an announcement when the regular TA office hour schedule is finalized.

Welcome Fall 2016 Students! Look out for some more announcements and your first homework assignment in the next few days. In the meantime, here is a little useful information about enrollment and recitations:

Recitations:

You will receive an e-mail later this week about recitation sign-ups. We do not use PennInTouch for this, and we have not yet opened our system.
There will be no recitation the weeks of August 29 and September 5. There will be lots of office and lab hours for you to ask questions and get help setting things up.
Recitations will start the week of September 12. We will make an announcement about this later.

Enrollment and Waitlist Info:

As of today, the 12:00 section of CIS 110 (CIS 110001) is full. The 1:00 section of CIS 110 (CIS 110002) is not full. This situation may change rapidly as students adjust their course schedules.
We are not currently maintaining a waitlist for CIS 110. If you want to sign up for a section that is full, you should check back regularly on PennInTouch to see if a spot opens up. (A waitlist adds extra layers of bureaucracy that would make your life even more difficult than checking regularly on PennInTouch.)
We are not issuing permits for full lecture sections.
