A few years back, the optional intro course was CS3 (though I don't think it was meant for non-majors). Has CS10 just replaced CS3, or does CS3 still exist and CS10 is something separate?
EDIT: Never mind, I looked it up, which I should have done in the first place. CS3 is the optional intro CS/programming class ("Intro to Symbolic Programming"), and CS10 is "The Beauty and Joy of Computing", which seems designed for non-majors getting an introduction to "the history, social implications, great principles, and future of computing", with a gentle introduction to programming in a graphical language.
I guess that makes the article substantially less significant/interesting.
- praxulus 13y agoCS3 isn't offered anymore. CS10 is the replacement, but it also goes for broader appeal than just being prep for 61a.
- wutbrodo 13y agoIt looks CS3 is still in the course catalog (http://general-catalog.berkeley.edu/catalog/gcc_list_crse_req?p_dept_name=Computer+Science&p_dept_cd=COMPSCI&p_path=l http://general-catalog.berkeley.edu/catalog/gcc_list_crse_re...) Whoops never mind, I just saw the response to my other comment saying that the course catalog is out of date. Never mind then.
