The Computer Science department web site comprises about a dozen main areas or topics, listed on every page (typically to the left, but that depends on your browser and its layout decisions), and each of these areas is a tree of pages. The links going "down" the tree into more detail are mentioned on the main part of the page, typically the right hand side of the page. To go back up the tree, just use the "back" button on your browser. Of course, some of the down links may be cross-references to other areas; that's what makes the Web a web. Here's what the major areas are about: New/Prospective Students These are pages of information for young women who are thinking of becoming Computer Science majors at Spelman. They may be Spelman students thinking of changing their major, transfer students from another college or university, or high school students looking at places to study after high school. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) A common feature on many Internet/Web sites is the FAQ, which is just a list of questions that have been asked many times in the past, and so the answers were written down somewhere that casual passers-by can find them. Anytime you're at a new web site, look for an FAQ. Our FAQ includes questions from prospective students, Spelman CS majors, Spelman students not majoring in computer science, and many others. Be sure to check the FAQ before emailing us a question---you'll get your answer faster, and we'll have more time for answering the tough questions. General Info This is a small amount of introductory information: what kind of department we are, what things do we do, and so forth. Navigation If you're reading this page, you know what the Navigation section holds. It has information to help you find your way around these pages. Faculty Information about the faculty in the department, including what kind of research we do, and links to our personal web pages. All bets are off on what you'll find on someone's personal page! Students Currently, these pages mostly list the students in the department, by year. We're hoping that more and more students (and graduates!) will help us link in their personal home pages, so that their sister students can find them here. Academics For many visitors of these pages, the information they want is under Academics. These pages include course web pages, sample course sequences, information about each course, prerequisites, and much more. Organizations The people of the Computer Science Department are not islands. The faculty and students are members of various computer-related clubs and organizations. These are links (usually off-site) to the web pages of those related organizations. Contacting Us Information about reaching us by email, voicemail, snailmail, and old-fashioned methods like phone, train, plane and automobile. Facilities These pages have information about the hardware, equipment, classrooms, and other facilities that the department has.
