Modern Web Programming (COMP 426)
Developing applications for the World Wide Web including both client-side and server-side programming. Emphasis on Model-View-Controller architecture, AJAX, RESTful Web services, and database interaction.
Algorithms and Analysis (COMP 550)
Formal specification and verification of programs. Techniques of algorithm analysis. Problem-solving paradigms. Survey of selected algorithms.
Foundations of Software Engineering (COMP 423)
Students gain experience with design thinking and processes, technical communication, team collaboration, project management methodology, the software development lifecycle, and more, with an emphasis on today's best industrial practices.
Computer Security Concepts (COMP 435)
Introduction to topics in computer security including confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication policies, basic cryptography and cryptographic protocols, ethics, and privacy.
Data Structures and Analysis (COMP 210)
This course will teach you how to organize the data used in computer programs so that manipulation of that data can be done efficiently on large problems and large data instances. Rather than learning to use the data structures found in the libraries of programming languages, you will be learning how those libraries are constructed, and why the items that are included in them are there (and why some are excluded).
Discrete Structures (COMP 283H)
Introduces discrete structures (sets, tuples, relations, functions, graphs, trees) and the formal mathematics (logic, proof, induction) used to establish their properties and those of algorithms that work with them. Develops problem-solving skills through puzzles and applications central to computer science.
Technology, Ethics, & Culture (COMP 380H)
This discussion-based, participatory course explores the personal, sociocultural, and ethical effects and implications of the development and use of computing technologies and the Internet.
Media Ethics (MEJO 141)
Explore what constitutes ethical practices, what interferes with ethical practices, and what emerging ethical issues may challenge the newest generation of professional communicators. Cases involve print, broadcast, and Internet news media; photojournalism; graphic design; public relations; and advertising.
Writing & Reporting (MEJO 153)
A laboratory course that teaches journalistic skills essential to writing across platforms. Practice in using news gathering tools, such as sourcing and interviewing techniques; writing stories, including leads, organization, quotations, and data; editing for grammar, punctuation, brevity, style, and accuracy; and critical thinking about news values and audiences.
Data Driven Journalism (MEJO 570)
An introduction to basic statistics and numerical and mathematical literacy, as well as a look at professional data-driven journalism projects. Students who successfully complete this course will be able to acquire, organize, analyze, and present data to a general news audience.
User Experience Design and Usability (MEJO 581)
Theory and practice of user experience design with an emphasis on usability, design theory, aesthetic design, and evaluative methodologies, including analytics and eye tracking research.
Emerging Technologies (MEJO 588)
This course will introduce students to storytelling with emerging technologies such as Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, 360 Video, robots, drones, and other new technologies. Students will have the opportunity to learn and work with the latest VR hardware and create experiences for those platforms.
