In this class, students will be exposed to the main areas and questions related to computer science, while beginning their journey towards becoming skilled practitioners in the field. A large part of this process will include learning basic programming skills in Python, computational thinking and algorithm design. In addition, students will also formulate and explore questions of their own related to computer science.

Students planning to continue studying in computer science can take either this course or CS 2119 , but they cannot enroll in both.
