Course         INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTING
   Name        3 s.h. credit      Prerequisites: MATH 101, CAPP100A

Course Description
      This is the first course for students who want a degree
      in Computer Science.  It also satisfies the Math/Science/
      Computer requirement of GER.  It's the prerequisite for
      the next computer class, CMIS 150.
      Students will begin to learn how to program computers
      using the Pascal programming language.  We cover the first
      seven chapters of the textbook.  Numerous small program-
      ming exercises will comprise the bulk of the homework.
      Programming is best learned by programming, so students
      should expect to spend a lot of time using the computers
      in the lab.
