I 301 Introduction to Informatics
Discussion co-instructor TBD.
DESCRIPTION
This is a survey course covering the basics of the informatics professions. We cover some history of informatics as an academic discipline and profession, review some of the significant concepts that students can expect to cover later in the Informatics major and minor, and review the different concentrations available to Informatics students. Assessment in this course is conducted through weekly quizzes and discussion questions; a short, persuasive, group presentation; and a longer-term persuasive essay project with both individual and group components.
RESTRICTIONS
Informatics majors will have top registration priority through the early periods of registration. Informatics minors are encouraged to join the waitlist, which will begin promoting students on July 18 if seats remain available.
All other students will need to complete this Registration Support Questionnaire in order to request a seat in any of our classes.
