Fall 2019
CMSC 201 Computer Science I
Section for Non-Majors

This fall, Dr. Susan Mitchell will teach a special section of CMSC 201 Computer Science I designed for all non-computer science, non-computer engineering majors. The course will cover the same content and have the same rigor as all other CMSC 201 sections and prepare students to continue on to CMSC 202 if they wish.  As with other sections, it fulfills any major’s requirement for CMSC 201. The key difference will be that the assignments and projects will emphasize topics applicable to many non-CS disciplines, such as statistical analysis, working with large data sets, and data visualization. The course will be taught in the popular Python programming language. The catalog description is:

An introduction to computer science through problem solving and computer programming. Programming techniques covered by this course include modularity, abstraction, top-down design, specifications documentation, debugging and testing. The core material for this course includes control structures, functions, lists, strings, abstract data types, file I/O, and recursion.

The 4-credit course will include a lecture from 2:30pm to 3:45pm on Mondays and Wednesdays (Section 60-LEC) and a one-hour lab on either Monday (Section 61-DIS) or Wednesday (Section 62-DIS) from 11:00-11:50am.

No prior programming experience is required. The only prerequisite is that students must have completed MATH 150, 151 or 152 with a C or better; OR have MATH test placement into MATH 151; OR have completed MATH 155 with a C or better.

This course is restricted to non-computer science, non-computer engineering majors.

Recommendations on Sexual Violence/Misconduct Prevention
May 7, 2019 3:06 PM
Dear Members of the UMBC Community,

We want to share with our community three reports with recommendations on the prevention of and response to sexual violence/misconduct at UMBC. These reports were compiled, respectively, by three groups:
The three reports include assessments of UMBC’s current practices, policies, and resources, as well as recommendations based on effective practices on our campus, evidence-based research, and best practices at other universities.

This summer, the Retriever Courage Implementation Team will review and compile the recommendations from all three reports in preparation for a discussion about priorities with the University Steering Committee (USC) this fall. The Implementation Team and USC will then seek feedback and revisions from all Retriever Courage partners and the university community. After that, they will recommend prioritized action steps to the University Council of Vice Presidents and Deans, who will review and sign off on proposed actions, which will then be submitted to the President for final approval.

We thank our consultant team, the Student Advisory Committee, and the Faculty/Staff Advisory Committee for these reports as we continue to address together how to improve community safety and wellbeing at UMBC.

We also thank the thousands of faculty, staff, and students who have participated in internal and external reviews and training sessions over the past year. Thank you for your commitment to making UMBC a safer and more caring living, learning, and working environment for all, including engagement with Retriever Courage, and for the input and suggestions you are sharing to inform this work. We will continue to provide updates on progress and ways to stay engaged.

We encourage those who have observed or experienced sexual violence/misconduct to seek support as needed at any time. There are many resources available on campus and in the community that offer confidential medical support, confidential psychological/emotional support, and interim protective measures (e.g., no-contact orders, housing adjustments, academic concerns). For emergency situations, contact UMBC police via 410-455-5555 or local police via 911.

Ramadan is a month dedicated to fasting, spirituality & worship, and charity & community. It is the holiest month of the Muslim year and follows the lunar calendar. During this month, no food or drink (including water) may be taken from dawn to dusk Worshippers eat a pre dawn light meal, called suhoor. After dusk, Muslims break the fast with an evening meal called iftar.

For the first time in 10 years, Ramadan will run from approximately May 5th - June 4th causing it to fall within the academic school year. This will impact Muslim students, staff, and faculty in various ways. In addition to being aware of this religious observance, here are five ways you can support members of the Muslim community this month.

  • Understand that Ramadan is a time of spiritual cleansing and reflection.
  • Acknowledge Ramadan and Eid by wishing folks well.
  • Be respectful of prayer times - many people are more observant during Ramadan and therefore may need to leave class, meetings, or other obligations to pray for approximately ten minutes.
  • Ramadan includes evening programs that will require folks to be out late - check on your friends to make sure they get home safely!
  • Check on your friends mental health and overall well-being.
For more information on how to support the Muslim community this Ramadan, check out the attached handout from the Islamic Center at New York University and head over to the Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies in Towson, MD!

For questions about religious and spiritual resources, please contact Erin Waddles, Coordinator for Student Diversity and Inclusion at waddles@umbc.edu and Idania Ramos at idramos1@umbc.edu.
