Difference: CSC310S2021Syllabus (1 vs. 2)

1. They will develop a strong working knowledge of Python
2. They will develop an understanding of large scale framework based analysis with Spark
3. They will develop a basis of ethical understanding revolving around the user of big data in the real world

1. Analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions. (Computing student learning outcome 1)
2. Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline. (Computing student learning outcome 2)
3. Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts. (Computing student learning outcome 3)
4. Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal, ethical, and moral principles. (Computing student learning outcome 4)

1. Self-learning at the application level by requiring students to learn one component of the topic on their own (with little assistance from the instructor)
2. Note taking at that master level by
   • not posting lecture slides,
   • requiring students to track all requirements themselves
   • having exam questions based on specifics in the lectures and presentations given by other students.
3. Technical writing at the mastery level by requiring to write a technical report of a project for the class in a quality manner. Advanced discussion on things such as a theme, transitions, use of diagrams, focus, and other items should be covered in class and graded on.
4. Security at an application level by covering at least two separate security issues associated with the topic of the course.
5. Ethics at an application level by covering at least two separate ethical issues associated with the topic of the course.
6. Verbal communications at the application level by requiring students to present their projects and/or supplementary material to the class.
