CIS – Computer Information Systems CIS 100 INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTERS (F,W,S) 3(3-0-0) The course is a general introduction to computers focusing on computer concepts and terminology and the components and functions of computer system hardware and software. Lab work includes introduction to operating systems, the spreadsheet, word processing and database. ADVISING NOTE: Students looking for a how-to-course in managing their own personal computers should take CAP 100 instead of this course. CIS 104 INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING LOGIC (F,W) 3(3-0-0) Provides the beginning programmer with a guide to developing structured program logic. The course assumes no programming experience and does not focus on any one particular language. It introduces programming concepts and enforces good style and logical thinking. Students will learn basic programming structure, flowcharts and documentation, and how to solve difficult structuring programs.
