CSC 463: Self-Directed Learning: Advanced CS Topics : 3 hours

Description

Students will pick one advanced cutting edge topic (typically an aspect of cloud computing, machine learning, big data, Internet of Things, or mobile computing), develop their own learning goals and strategies, get them approved and learn the material on their own and present their results in both a written and verbal format. Students will be required to develop a project to demonstrate what they have learned. Can be taken up to two times as long as the topic is different. Topics must also differ from those taken in CSC 310, CSC 312 and CSC 314.

Goals for CSC 463 are:

  1. Develop life long learning skills

Course outcomes for CSC 463 are:

  • Upon complete of CSC 463 students will know:
    • how to direct their own self learning for future tasks
    • how to demonstrate the ideas they have learned
    • how to identify security and ethical issues in a topic of their own choosing.

Program outcomes for CSC 463 are:

  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. Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts. (Computing student learning outcome 3)
  3. Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal, ethical, and moral principles. (Computing student learning outcome 4)
  4. Learn new areas of technology. (Computing student learning outcome 6)
  5. Apply security principles and practices to maintain operations in the presence of risks and threats. (Cyber Security student learning outcome 1)

Integration

  1. Life long learning skills by learning a complete topic on their own
  2. Technical communication skills by making at least 2 verbal presentations (on recorded) and writing a significant report (10 pages) on what was learned

Campus Integrity Policy

The student handbook (p. 156) states: “Any act of deceit, falsehood or stealing by unethically copying or using someone else’s work in an academic situation is strictly prohibited.

  1. A student found guilty of plagiarism or cheating will receive an “F”(zero) for that particular paper, assignment or exam. Should this occur, the professor will have an interview with the student and will submit a written report of the incident to the academic dean.
  2. If a second offense should occur, the student will be asked to appear before the professor, the academic dean and the vice president for student development.

The student should realize that at this point continuation in a course and even his/her academic career may be in jeopardy. In the event of a recommendation for dismissal, the matter shall be referred to the Student Development Committee.”
