Distance Education
Experience Harvard from Anywhere
Students who cannot make it to the Harvard campus during the summer have the unique opportunity to study via distance education. Through this program, lectures held on campus are videotaped, then made available online along with course materials. Local students may attend lectures in person or watch them online and frequently enjoy the benefits of doing both. In some cases, courses are available only online.
The same amount of coursework is expected of students studying online. Much of the communication between faculty and students occurs by e-mail and course websites. Many courses also have a bulletin board or chat room to foster dialogue among students and the teaching staff.
High school students interested in online courses should first apply to the Secondary School Program.

(4 credits: UN, GR, NC) T,Th 6-8:30 pm, 1 Story Street, Room 306. Eight-week session. Two required weekly sections to be arranged. Tuition $2,350.
Online and on-campus options. See Distance Education. Harvard College students see additional information.This course is an introduction to the most important discoveries and intellectual paradigms in computer science, designed for students with little or no previous background. We explore problem-solving methods and algorithm development using the high-level programming languages Java and Scratch. Students learn how to design, code, debug, and document programs using techniques of good programming style in a Linux-based environment. This course presents an integrated view of computer systems, from hardware architecture and data communication systems through compilers and cryptography. We examine theoretical and practical limitations related to unsolvable and intractable computational problems, and the social and ethical dilemmas presented by such issues as software unreliability and invasion of privacy.Semoga Bermanfaat!
