CC 3.12: Frequently Asked Questions

• I am confused about the Core Curriculum.

  Here you can find more information about the Core Curriculum.

• The current lab doesn't show up on my screen.

  First make sure that the date is set correctly on your computer. Then try pressing the "Refresh" or "Reload" button (usually a picture of an arrow, or picture of a page with an arrow on it) on the top of the browser window.

• Do I really have to use two different browsers? Can't I just do all my work using Internet Explorer?

  Part of the requirements of the course is that you become familiar with more than one browser. Different browsers have different features. As you learn how to create Web pages and programs that run on the Web, it is important to see how these things might appear differently or work differently when viewed using different browsers.

• What is the difference between CC 3.12 and Core 5.1?

  CC 3.12 is the new Computer Science Core course. It is an updated 3-credit, 3-hour course. It provides time to cover the topics in more depth and there are additional topics that were not included in Core 5.1.

• If I already took Core 5.1 or CIS 1.0, do I have to take CC 3.12 also?

  No. If you already took Core 5.1 or CIS 1.0, then you have already satisfied the Core math/computer science requirement.

• Does CC 3.12 teach Pascal or BASIC?

  Neither. CC 3.12 focuses on the Internet. It introduces HTML to produce Web pages and uses JavaScript to illustrate programming concepts.
