CMSC 298R
Wednesday 11:00am-12:30pm
Prerequisites: CMSC 214 and CMSC 250
The class is meant to serve as a guided exploration of topics in Computer
Science. Each week there will be readings (eg: Web pages, journal
articles, book chapters) which we will all read and then discuss as a
group. Between weekly meetings, you will be asked to explore on your own
to find readings to share with the participants in the class. By the end
of the semester, the hope is that all members of the group will have been
introduced to some interesting new areas in Computer Science, as well as
some resources that will be of use in exploring the field outside the
classroom. We will also watch several CS-oriented films and discuss the
technical and ethical issues they raise.
Note: This is a two-credit course that can only be taken
Pass/Fail and does not count towards CMSC requirements - only general
graduation credit requirements.
