[CSENews] CSE 491-Programming Competition Prep

[Teresa Isela VanderSloot]

If interested in enrolling in CSE 491 - 1cr-Programming Competition 
Training,  please e-mail me right away.  We need to determine if we'll 
offer CSE 491 (1 credit) next semester. 

__________________________________________________________________________
The acm programming contest ( http://cm.baylor.edu/welcome.icpc ) is an 
annual event that is held across the world. Students compete on a set of 
programming problems to find which school has the best programmers.

The contest is held in rounds, the first round being a regional contest 
usually held in October. The regional for this year was just held and 
MSU had two teams participate. However, many of the other schools in our 
region (Waterloo, Carnegie Mellon, University of Michigan) take this 
contest very seriously and usually win the regional. They train year 
round to be ready. If we have students who are interested in being 
better prepared for the contest, we are considering holding a 1 hour CSE 
491 course in the Spring, with a focus on training for the contest. 
Based on interest we will decide what to do to get ready for next year.
