CSC 260: Introduction to Self Directed Learning: 1 hour
Description
The very dynamic nature of the field of computing requires specialized lifelong learning skills. Students will learn and experience how to be productive when learning about new technology on their own. This includes an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of different types of resources, understanding of how to maximize the learning a given resource provides, and learning to create a plan for their own learning.
