Summer 2020: COP 2800 Computer Programming Using Java

Still looking for a summer elective?

COP 2800 Computer Programming Using Java (class number 15765)
MWF period 4
Currently we have 136 seats (as of April 29)

This is our Java course for non-majors and non-minors and the best course for students to get a soft introduction to computer programming.

If a you know you want to minor in Computer Science, CISE would recommend starting with COP 3502 instead of COP 2800, since 2800 does not fulfill any formal requirements.

The Florida Alligator - Applications for Summer 2020

This is Christian Ortega and Hannah Phillips, Editor-in-Chief and Digital Managing Editor at The Independent Florida Alligator. We know that many internship opportunities have been put on hold because of COVID-19 – don’t let that stop you from getting world-class experience in one of the nation’s top student newsrooms this summer.

The Independent Florida Alligator has opened up its Summer 2020 applications. They're due at 11:59 p.m. on April 28. Many of these are paid positions.

Here's the link to our applications:
https://www.alligator.org/news/want-to-be-part-of-the-alligator-join-our-remote-summer-2020-team/article_4aa08960-842e-11ea-8434-d31322c7f3a5.html

This summer will be a little different than previous semesters, but we hope it will only give more people the opportunity to apply. We’ll reduce our print edition of the paper to one day a week and will be working completely remotely. This means that all reporting will take place over phone or video conference. We will still conduct weekly meetings over Zoom to check in and get to know one another.

We’d like to continue previous editor-in-chief Christina Morales’ mission of making The Alligator a more diverse and inclusive environment, so we’re encouraging everyone to apply, regardless of major or experience. We have several new positions, including an illustrator, podcast producer and a data visualizer/coder.

If students are looking for a little more flexibility and room to learn, there's always a news assistant position or other beat reporting positions open.
We’re willing to be flexible and work with any interested students who would like to join our staff. As always, anyone is more than welcome to reach out to us with any questions or concerns. We’re happy to help and eager to meet you.
