CSCI 51 – Introduction to Computer Science

Fall 2001

Alice Armstrong, Course Instructor

Dear Course Instructor,

This student is participating in an extra credit assignment for Computer Science 51, Introduction to Programming. It is my feeling that many students, and engineering students in particular, do not take advantage of the many opportunities available to them at their university. I am asking my students to attend one session of a course they have never considered taking. My hope is that attending a class outside of their expected course of study will either confirm their desire to be an engineer or cause them to question it. Either way the students stand to benefit greatly from this insight.

If you are willing to let this student sit in on your class, I will be contacting you just for confirmation of their attendance. Please do not let an extra student disrupt your class. If this is not a good class for them to attend, ask them to find another. If you have any questions about this assignment, please contact me at astrong@seas.gwu.edu. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Sincerely,

Alice Armstrong
