'''CS 1301''', formally known as '''Introduction to Computing''', is an introductory 3 credit hour [[Computer Science|CS]] class aimed at people with zero or near-zero programming experience, and provides a gentle introduction to Python programming, with the context of using Python in non-computing contexts. CS 1301 is taken by nearly all majors. |

||
| − | == Future Outlook == |
||
| + | CS 1301 is generally taken in early freshman year by basically all students at GT that require this class. For CS, CompE, and EE majors, CS 1301 is an important prerequisite for all future CS and ECE classes, as nearly all of them have CS 1301 as a direct or indirect prerequisite. |
||
| − | For CS, CompE, EE, and Math majors with the Discrete Math concentration, CS 1301 is probably the most important class to complete, as it essentially unlocks the rest of the degree. Therefore, it is extremely critical that this class is completed as early as possible. Classes that directly require CS 1301 are: [[CS 1331]] (Introduction to OOP), [[CS 4400]] (Introduction to Databases), and [[ECE 2020]] (Digital System Design). |
