REQUIRED CHECKLIST FOR ALL CURRICULAR PROPOSALS
Course or Program___________CS130_________________
This checklist enables A2C2 representatives to endorse that their departments have accurately followed the Process for
Accomplishing Curricular Change. For each course or program proposal submitted to A2C2, this checklist must be completed, signed
by the submitting department's A2C2 representative, and included with the proposal when forwarded for approval. Peer review of
proposals is also strongly advised, e.g., departments should discuss and vote on the proposals as submitted to A2C2, rather than on just
the ideas proposed or drafts of proposals.
If a proposal fails to follow or complete any aspect of the process, the Course and Program Proposal Subcommittee will postpone
consideration of the proposal and return it to the department's A2C2 representative for completion and resubmission. Resubmitted
proposals have the same status as newly submitted proposals.

Current Catalog Description:
130 – Introduction to Computer Application Development — 3 S.H.
Computer applications are designed to support and improve productivity in the workplace. Examples include
elementary education, social networking, health information management and geographical information processing.
This course provides students with an overview of the principles of computer application design, and leads students
through a complete cycle of software development. Students will learn to design and implement computer
applications to process social and/or environmental information. Emphasis will be on the fundamental elements, and
skills in computer application development.
Proposed Catalog Description:
130 – Introduction to Computer Programming — 3 S.H.
Computer programs are designed to support and improve productivity in the workplace. This course provides
students with an overview of the principles of computer program design, and leads students through a complete
cycle of problem solving using computers. It introduces computational concepts such as data, sequence and objects,
and their processing via iteration and repetition. No prior programming experience is necessary for this course.
Reason for Proposed Change:
Computer science designates the scientific and mathematical approach in information technology. It involves the
studies of fundamental properties of computational problems, mathematical formulation of solutions and their
implementations as computer programs. Fundamentals of computer science are essential for educated people living
in the 21st century, and programming provides students opportunity to apply mathematical theories and logics in
solving their daily problems.
This course is intended for non-Computer Science majors.

Academic Dishonesty Policy:
All tests are closed book/closed notes. It is considered cheating to view your notes or to
communicate with or copy from a classmate during a test. All programming assignments are
individual assignments. You may discuss your labs with classmates, but you must enter all the
information yourself. It is considered cheating to copy any portion of the assignment from anyone
else or to knowingly permit someone else to copy your assignment.
Student who is caught cheating in this class will receive a grade of F for the class.
Commitment to Inclusive Excellence:
WSU recognizes that our individual differences can deepen our understanding of one another and
the world around us, rather than divide us. In this class, people of all ethnicities, genders and
gender identities, religions, ages, sexual orientations, disabilities, socioeconomic backgrounds,
regions, and nationalities are strongly encouraged to share their rich array of perspectives and
experiences. If you feel your differences may in some way isolate you from WSU’s community
or if you have a need of any specific accommodations, please speak with the instructor early in
the semester about your concerns and what we can do together to help you become an active and
engaged member of our class and community.
