You should take this class if you want to be introduced to some topics prior to taking 411 and 412. This class also allows you to gain some experience using the terminal, understanding the term computing and the topics surrounding it, and using version control systems such as git which are useful in the professional world.
This class offers great experience with real world computer science tools like github. This class will also expose you to intermediate computer science concepts. In total the skills learned in this class will make you a much more rounded computer science student.
You should take this class if you want to know more about what your computer is doing. This class will help you better understand error messages and will teach you bash scripting and git. I have not taken 411 yet but I hear this class is good to take before 411. I also believe this class is good to take before 305 because we use git a lot in that class.
You should take this class if you want to get a headstart on your education and career. This class covers quite a bit, but each topic is designed to give you just enough so that you're not completely in the dark when you have to learn this stuff for a class. Additionally, being comfortable with version control systems is essential for not only school projects, but also your internships and jobs.
You should take this course if you want to get acquainted with the basic skills needed to use github and bash, two applications that will be used in the workplace. This class will also teach you background information on how computers work, both in how the a cs language interacts with the computer but also how the hardware relates to the processes of a computer and its languages.
This course offers an extrely helpful understanding of both git and github, I believe it would be especially benificial to take before CSC305 and CSC412 which both use knowledge that would be leaned in this course. I found that this course was able to help be strengthen my understanding on git and github in such a way that I know it will be benifiical to my education and career moving forward.
You should take this course if you want experience with different tools used in the computer science field or more knowledge on how IDEs' and programming lanaguages work. This class gets your feet wet in many different aspects and you are able to gain alot of knowlegde within a short period of time with the assignments.
You should take this class if you want to understand more of a real software developer's workflow and begin to create your own code in a more professional way. The level of comfort that I have gained with Git is something that I believe will be invaluable to me as I enter my career as a professional developer. Getting more comfortable with working in the terminal and using simple bash scripts to automate tasks is another thing that I learned in this class which greatly increased my work efficiency. Getting introduced to some of the core topics for 411 and 412 ahead of time is also a huge benefit to this class as it will save you a ton of time when taking those courses.
You should take this class if you want to learn more about git, github, and how to use the terminal.
YOu should take this class because it introduces you to new concepts about computer science. It helps you gain experience/knowledge about real world applications. For example, we go over a lot of github commnads and the many things you can do with github. This will help you in the real world but also while your still in school. Currently, I am stil only in CSC 212 but I have already used github a bunch. With this class, I can now use github better.
You should take this class if you want to see how things will go in your future CSC classes this is a opportunity to learn about something that can be very benefical to you inside your future classes. You learn alot about the history of github and computers and topic that you would normally not see in other CSC classes. Your taught how to use version controls with GITHUB and how to approach projects with different languages.
This class offers experience with working with groups on assignments, yall know how to approach your assignments for other classes in the future and you will be better prepared to do work and know what language u will need in the future.
I believe this class is important because for a student like me I did not know how to start my projects and I wasnt to secure with programming but alot of the assignments for example made me research into other languages that are like the famous ones and I found it really interesting because it showed me there were more programming languages out there beside C and java. This will also allow you to learn scripting and bash which getting a head start with your future classes will help.
