Introdudction: This course uses learning goals. Learning goals describe the goals that you, as students, are expected to attain throughout the course of CPSC 111 this semester. They indicate the material and competencies that are central to this course and that must be mastered at a sufficient level in order to be granted a pass in this course. As instructors, the learning goals indicate the material that we will be teaching, and correspondingly, our expectations of our students' skill level. As students, the learning goals can be used as a checklist to ensure that your development through the course is on track, and that you are prepared for exams and assignments.

How to use: The following chart indicates each of the topic areas covered in this course as a row title. The column titles indicate the overreaching goals of the course. How each topic (row) meets each high-level learning goal (columns) is described in detail via the invidual learning goals (marked as letter-numbers in each cell). To save space, we have abbreviated each learning goal with a symbol-- to access the full learning goal, simply hover over the symbol and the goal will be displayed.

Note: If, when using Firefox, you are having trouble viewing the learning goals while hovering over the symbols (i.e. they appear truncated or incomplete), you may need to install this plugin.
