Welcome to the Fall 2013 session of Grinnell College's CSC 295, a special topics course entitled Thinking Beyond Grinnell - Learning from Alumni. In this course, we will meet (often virtually) with alumni with careers related to computer science who will talk about their life and career paths, and will provide advice for students on things to learn and things to do. You can read the offical blurb for more details.
The focus of the class is the visits by alumni. While some of these visits will involve alumni coming directly to campus, the majority of the visits will be “virtual”, via Skype or some other teleconferencing system.
The Web site for the course is

This is an experimental course. Among other things, this means that I expect to be updating the syllabus as the semester goes on.
Meets: Thursdays, 2:15-4:05 p.m., Science 3821.
Instructor: Samuel A. Rebelsky, Science 3824. 269-4410 (office). 236-7445 (home). Office hours: Monday, 2:15-4:05; Tuesday, 2:15-2:45; Wednesday: 2:15-2:45; Friday, 3:15-4:05.

The students in this course are responsible for hosting and facilitating the visits of the alumni. (Practice with organizing visits is one of the learning goals of the course.) At the start of the semester, students will sign up in groups to facilitate alumni visits (see the schedule for details of particular visits).
As the facilitator for a visit, you are expected to work with the alumnus or alumna on the following in advance of the visit.
Your work also continues into the class session. During the class session you facilitate, you should do the following:
