Meeting times and rooms for each term are listed in AlkimiHub when registration opens. Department chairs make teaching assignments each year (Faculty Handbook §5.1), and every instructor posts the syllabus in Canvas by the first day of classes (Faculty Handbook §5.2).

Spring 2027 syllabus

CS 110 isn't offered in Fall 2026. The Spring 2027 syllabus will be posted in Canvas by the first day of classes, Tuesday, January 19, 2027. Meeting times and rooms appear in AlkimiHub when Spring 2027 registration opens on Monday, November 2, 2026.

Generative AI in this course

Every syllabus must state one of three levels: Level 1 (AI not permitted for graded work), Level 2 (AI permitted with disclosure for specified tasks), Level 3 (AI permitted broadly with disclosure). Check your section's syllabus in Canvas. Unless it says otherwise, the university default applies: generative AI tools may be used for brainstorming, studying, and feedback on your own drafts, but not to produce work you submit for a grade.

Details: Student Handbook §5.7 and Student Handbook §5.8. See what each AI level allows.
