The purpose of CPSC 156 is for students who are not Computer Science majors to understand in some depth how the Internet works and why it is an interesting and productive forum for human interaction. Topics to be covered include but are not limited to Internet architecture and design philosophy, Internet-based business, user privacy, online identity, and digital copyright. Required work will include "hands-on" assignments in which students build simple Internet artifacts or use the net to accomplish something that would be difficult to accomplish offline and short-essay homework assignments and exams. The course will cover some of the material previously covered in CPSC 155 , but it will also cover some non-business-related "social issues," and, unlike CPSC 155 , will include a significant technology component and "hands-on" problem sets. There will be reading assignments to supplement lectures and written homeworks.
