Overview of class

Computing Everywhere is a zero-credit seminar with 5 evening (choose Tuesdays or Wednesdays, 6:30 - 8:30 pm) workshops aimed at all NU students without a technical background.

Wait, zero credits? Right. It'll show up as a class on your transcript and you'll be graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis based on your attendance. No graded homework or exams. Show up and participate, and you'll get a 'satisfactory'.

The preliminary schedule of spring topics includes topics such musical interface design, wearable devices for sports activities, algorithmic content creation, and machine learning in healthcare.

It's really just 5 weeks? Yup, the course will meet once per week, for 2 hours per session during the first 5 weeks of the quarter. You pick the Tuesday or Wednesday section. Then it's done and you'll have more time for midterms and projects and whatever else comes up. That's it!

Do I need to be a programmer? No. If you can write code, you know too much for this course. It's designed for beginners.

Will I become a programmer? Probably not after just this seminar, but you'll be in great shape to start learning to code on your own or take more courses!
