ITIS 1600. Computing Professionals. (1) Cross-listed as ITCS 1600. This required course should be taken by all Freshman and Transfer students during their first semester in the College of Computing and Informatics. The course is designed to assist with the intellectual and social transition from high school or community college to university by increasing the involvement of students in the intellectual life on campus and within the professional computing community; providing an orientation to resources available to students; promoting oral and writing skills; and enabling students to develop a personal education plan. The course has three components: a seminar series, peer group engagement, and extra-curricular engagement. Course grades will be based on participation in all three components, quality of written reflections on all three components, and peer and instructor review of individual performance in peer group engagement activities, including the development of a personal education plan. May not be repeated for grade replacement. (Fall, Spring)
