New Self-Paced Comp. Sci. Class for Non-Majors

I am offering a new introductory computer science course for non-majors. This course is unusual in that it is self-paced and "mastery-based". This means that students can earn 1, 2 or 3 credits, depending on how fast they move through the material. They won't move to the next step until it they have mastered the current one.  In this way, we hope to enable people without a computing background to succeed where they might have otherwise been intimidated by the fast-paced technical culture of computing.

Please see the attached flyer or visit the course website for more details:
