Description
A course with such a bad name should probably be avoided. However, if you know better than to judge a book by its title, read on.
The course is open to all graduate students without a computer science background, but is specifically intended for those students enrolled in the CMD program. Students will acquire a set of basic skills that will allow them to include computation as part of their CMD projects. Of primary importance, students will acquire basic programming skills in the
Processing computer language. This language is similar to Java, but provides and environment that facilitates the use of visual and other media.
The course will also introduce students to a small sample of application and research areas in computer science.
Evaluation
Students will be evaluated through a series of assignments and exams as follows:
| Assignments | 50% |
| Midterm Exam | 25% |
| Final Exam | 25% |
