Academics

· The schedule of short courses won't be available until April or May.

· Probably there will be eight courses divided into four groups of two courses each.

· Group I and II courses will be taught during the first two weeks (July 5 – July 16).

· Group III and IV courses will be taught during the second two weeks (July 19 – July 30)

· Prior to departure students will select one course from each group. This means that a student will take two courses during the first two weeks and two courses during the second two weeks.

· Note: While it is probable that students will get the courses they select, it is not guaranteed.

· Prior course offerings (which will probably be similar this year) included: security, bioinformatics, agent-based systems, ubiquitous computing, web development, and open source development.

· Each course will meet for 12 hours spread out over two weeks. This includes lectures and labs, but does not include homework.

· Each course meets twice per day (not counting weekends and excursion days). A typical day is divided into four lecture/lab meetings. For example:

Meeting I: 9:30 – 10:15 (course A)
Coffee
Meeting II: 10:30 – 12:00 (course A)
Lunch
Meeting III: 13:15 – 14:45 (course B)
Coffee
Meeting IV: 15:00 – 16:30 (course B)

· Students can get a better idea of the courses and schedule by looking at the schedule from summer 2009.

· Students will receive a 0% – 100% grade for each course they sign up for. For SJSU students these grades will be averaged together. Students above some minimum passing grade (70% for example) will receive credit for CS180 in Fall 2010. This is optional. Students must sign up for CS180 in the fall if they want the credit.

· CS180 can be used as an elective course for graduate and undergraduate students.

· STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND ALL MEETINGS OF ALL COURSES THEY SIGN UP FOR.

· STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO ABIDE BY SJSU ACADEMIC INTEGRITY GUIDELINES.
