CSC 310: Advanced CS Topics: 3 hours
Description
An advanced cutting edge computer science topics such as Internet of Things and mobile computing will be covered. Topic to be determined by demand and the instructor. Can be taken up to 4 times as long as the content is different. Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor.
Goals for CSC 310 are:
- Learn a leading edge topic (typically cloud based)
- Implement a project associated with that technology
- Present the project
- Write a report about the project
Course outcomes for CSC 310 are:
- Upon completion of CSC 310, students will understand:
- a specific advanced topic in computing and the ethical and security issues associated with it
Program outcomes for CSC 310 are:
- Analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions. (Computing student learning outcome 1)
- 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)
- Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts. (Computing student learning outcome 3)
- Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal, ethical, and moral principles. (Computing student learning outcome 4)
Integration
- 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)
- 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.
- 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.
- Security at an application level by covering at least two separate security issues associated with the topic of the course.
- Ethics at an application level by covering at least two separate ethical issues associated with the topic of the course.
- Verbal communications at the application level by requiring students to present their projects and/or supplementary material to the class.

Components of a section
- Assigned learning (from Google Skills Boost or other resources (Typically completed in a week)
- Overview of material by Dr. Bareiss (for 30 minutes or less)
- Agreement on work to be done for that section
- A short quiz
- Presentations of the work

| | Each section will have graded work associated with it.
- A project. With the assignment, the student wis to demonstrate the ability to use that section of the cloud productively. Details about each project will be given in class.
- A paper and short quiz. Each student will also write a paper explaining the details of that section of the cloud. In addition there will be a short quiz about some specifics of that section. Details will be given in class
|
| | In addition homework or short quizzes may be assignment throughout the semester. In addition, the following need to be completed during the semester
- A reaction to one article in the ACM TechNews that is related to cloud technology. This is due by Feb. 17th. This is to be a hard copy. The article must not be older than two weeks when you react to it.
- A reaction to one article in the Communications of the ACM. that is related to cloud technology. This needs to be completed before the final. It is also to be a hard copy. The article cannot be more than 2 months old when you react to it.

< | Grades
- Homework, quizzes, etc. are 5% of the final grade.
- Each section is worth the same percentage with the project being 50% of that second and the paper/quiz (or exam) being the other 50%
- The cumulative final/paper (to be decided in class) will also be worth the same as section.
- Grade scale
- 93% <= average <= 100% -> A
- 90% <= average < 93% -> A-
- 87% <= average < 90% -> B+
