Course Description

This is intended as a SECOND course in Computing for non-majors. It is a follow up to the course described here:

https://www.ccs.ucsb.edu/courses/2018/spring/introduction-computer-science

This is an intermediate course in programming in Python. The pre-requisite is the course at the link above, CMPSC 8, or equivalent programming experience. The intention is to offer a course that goes beyond the basics, and enables students to produce useful software in Python to solve problems arising in their own discipline (e.g. Art, Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Mathematics, Music Composition, Physics, or Writing and Literature).

Priority for registration will be given to CCS students from majors other than Computing and the L&S honors program that have completed a course in Python already. Not open to CCS Computing Majors, CoE students, or students that have completed CMPSC 16 or higher.

The major restrictions listed on GOLD is not correct--the course is open to all CCS students except Computing Majors, and on 2nd and 3rd pass, to students in the L&S Honors program.
