So I'm looking to take my last full credit of computer science so I can become a teacher, and I need a second opinion (hopefully 4 or 5)...
I've taken these courses
Computer Science 026a/b -- Computer Science Fundamentals I:
This course provides an introduction to the basic concepts of computer programming and program design. It is intended for students who have little or no experience with computer programming, or for those who feel that Computer Science 025a/b may be too advanced for them. It is aimed at students in the Faculty of Science and those who intend to study Computer Science in senior years.
Object oriented programming skills will be developed using the programming language Java. Topics covered include: the basics of computer architecture, the programming constructs and concepts needed for problem solving (variables, operators, assignment statements, loops, conditional statements, subprograms, parameter passing), principles of algorithm and program development (top-down design, modularity, documentation, object-oriented design), searching and sorting techniques.
Weekly lab exercises provide guided, hands-on experience with programming. Assignments are completed by students on their own time.
Computer Science 031a/b -- Introduction to Computing and Communications Software:
This course provides an introduction to computer-based problem solving for personal and business computing environments. Topics that will be introduced are: word processing, spreadsheet applications, database systems, presentation applications, electronic communications (e-mail, networks, the Internet), application design, and computer organization.
CS031a/b can be counted toward a Computer Science degree, provided that it is taken before any 200-level CS course. The skills learned in this course can be of great practical benefit to most university students, regardless of their degree objectives.
Exercises are assigned weekly, to provide hands-on experience with the applications packages and computing concepts studied in the course.
And I'm debating taking these, do you think this would be considered too similar?
Computer Science (COMP) 200
Introduction to Computing and Information Systems
COMP 200 is designed as a three-credit course to cover fundamentals of information systems, and to serve as an introduction to, and prerequisite for, a program in Computing and Information Systems. The course will cover basic hardware concepts; the structure (or architecture) of computers; the software hierarchy from systems software to application programs; and information systems concepts and development.
In Comp 200 students will be expected to use a combination of locally-installed and external electronic materials to develop skills needed for further study in the field. This will include downloading, installing and using specialized software tools and setting pathing parameters to allow programs to access their components and files. Because this is a preparatory course for further study in CS, the level of technical content and difficulty in Comp 200 is fairly high.
COMP 210 is recommended as more appropriate for students not majoring in CIS (check your program regulations and transfer credit agreements where appropriate).
Thanks for the help people!!
