Title	Introduction to CS Programming
Professor	Robert McGrail
Schedule	Mon Wed 8:30 am - 9:50 am HCRC

This course is designed for liberal arts students with an interest in computer science. The course will introduce the notion of a computational process as well as the idea of a program as a director of such processes. The study of problem-solving techniques and algorithm development will prepare students to apply the syntax and structure of a programming language to a variety of problem statements. The course will include regular programming assignments using the algorithmic language scheme and a project that relates to the individual student's discipline.

Title	Data Structures
Professor	Robert McGrail
Schedule	Tu Th 8:30 am - 9:50 am HCRC

In this course students study the basic structures and processes of computer science. Structures refer to ways of organizing data for computers to facilitate storage, processing, and retrieval of information. Processes refer to methods used to manipulate structured data. Structures studied include searching, sorting, recursion, and dynamic storage allocation. Familiarity with data structures is basic to the understanding of computers and software development.

Title	Operating Systems
Professor	Robert McGrail
Schedule	Mon Wed 1:30 pm - 2:50 pm HCRC

This course covers the traditional topics of operating systems, including interprocess, communication, semaphores, monitors, scheduling algorithms, deadlocks, virtual memory, and file system design. In addition, issues in distributed systems might be discussed such as the client-server model, remote procedure call, distributed synchronization, transactions, threads, and file servers. Each principle will be illustrated in the linux operating system.
