Prerequisites/Co-requisites:
Course description (exactly as it will appear in the catalog, including prerequisites):
This course is to serve as an assessment tool whereby all AAS degree seeking students in the Department of Computer Science demonstrate core knowledge acquired from course studies in the discipline as specified in the AAS degree program.
Justification for the new course or for changes to an existing course. (Note: Justification should emphasize academic rationale for the change or new course. This is particularly important for courses requesting upper-division status.)
This zero-credit assessment course was removed from the CS course listings several years ago. The department wishes to reinstate this course as part of the AAS program in order to satisfy both ABET and Northwest accreditation assessment guidelines.
