---- Harvard’s Introduction to Computer Science course, CS50, is a popular class not only at Harvard but also around the world. It is available free to the public via <u>edX.org</u>, a hub for online classes hosted by a number of top universities. It is a means for anyone who has an interest to learn to code and is a valuable resource to Fellows in particular. One Fellow, Trevor Nicks, leveraged the class to not only teach himself a valuable skill, but also to establish it as an accredited course at his university, William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri.
== Need and Goal ==
Sample text == Topic == Sample textCoding is one of many important skills in today's technological landscape. For college students in non-STEM majors or at institutions with limited course offerings, it can be difficult to supplement one's learning in a convenient way. Incorporating online accredited courses into an institutions course catalog would better enable students to broaden the scope of their learning without sacrificing their major or school of choice.
== Academic Permission ==
Sample textMaking changes to a course catalog requires first communication with the school's administration. The provost or vice-provost would be the most apt to address this topic.
== Timeline ==
Sample textIt is important to consider how long it takes for bureaucracy to be completed and institutional changes to be made. While it may seem like a small task, making changes to a course catalog requires various levels of approval from accredidation boards. One should allow at least a semester to pass for paperwork to be completed. Once an online course is authorized, the next students will be able to enroll in the course and receive credit from the institution as easily as with any other course.
