CS Refresher Courses, Fall 2009

Objectives: The CS refresher courses are a series of informal sessions with brief reviews of concepts and/or software tools. These concepts/software tools are usually required by (many) courses and/or are fundamental in nature. However, they may not be convered by instructors in class for various reasons. One objective of these refresher courses is a revision for the students who have already seen the content before. However it may also serve as a starting point for other students too, and it may give them an idea of what should be learned, or at least motivate them to learn.

Discaimer: This is an attempt by grad students to help new students with their courses. Many of the students do not have a lot of experience in teaching. Still, we are hoping that this experiment will be of some benefit to students.
