1.00 Credits
This course introduces students to all of the fundamental computer programming concepts: objects, sequencing, selection, repetition, switching, subroutines, and arrays, using the Alice programming system. In this system students create virtual worlds populated with 3D graphics figures that students program to move (jump, walk, gallop, swim, etc. - the figures are fully articulated) and speak (via cartoon balloons or recorded voice). All programming is done via drag and drop - students cannot make syntax errors, only logical errors that are visible in figure behavior in their virtual worlds. Fifteen one hour classes, one credit.

3.00 Credits
The course will be tailored to the interest and talents of each individual student. The goal will be to give the student hands-on experience in some aspect of computer science not specifically addressed in the regular course curriculum. Examples of possible experiences include (but are not limited to) such things as aiding as an assistant in the computer laboratory during introductory classes, new software trials, installation, and investigations, working in the digital imaging laboratory, and computer language implementations. It must be stressed that the work will be carefully constructed around the student's background and interests. May be repeated for up to three credits. One credit.
