Geoffrey,

   I just heard from Yousuff that you will not be arriving at FSU until Dec.
28.  Since I won't see you before holidays, I hope you have a happy one. I
have started showing a very rough sketch of my thinking on the CSIT programs
to a few people in CSIT, so I thought I should pass this on to you for your
opinions.  I am not sure that I will be in town until Jan. 2 and I hope to
work on it during the holidays.

   Based on the courses below, I thought students in the information
technology track would take a three semester sequence CST 5100C, CST 5101C,
and CST 5450 and also take two courses from CST 5140, CST 5180, and CST
5350C.

   The program provides for a thesis master's degree, a doctoral degree, a
few undergraduate courses and some professional development courses for
teachers.

   There are several courses put into the schedule to support the
information technology portions of the program.  They include:

   CST 5100C Foundations of Information Technology A
             (part of CSIT Core)

   CST 5101C Foundations of Information Technology B
             (CSIT Core/CSIT Advanced Course)

   CST 5180  Distributed Collaboration Systems
             (CSIT Advanced Course)

   CST 5350C Distributed Computing Applications
             (CSIT Advanced Course)

   CST 5450      Advanced Methods for Information Technology
             (CSIT Advanced Course)

   CST 5701C Principles of Information Technology
             (Professional Education for Teachers)

   CST 5140C Data Intensive Computing
             (part of CSIT Core)

   CST 6936r Graduate Seminar in Information Technology

   CST 6938r Special Topics in Information Technology

   CST 6995r Graduate Tutorial in Information Technology

Course of General Interest for Undergraduates
   CST 4000C Introduction to Information Technology - 4 hrs

Some notes about the course numbers.

     The course numbers above are fictitious
     (I made them up for illustrative purposes)

     4000 is an upper level undergraduate course.
     5000 & up are graduate level.
     A "C" in the course number means it is a
     combined lecture/lab course

     An "r" in the course number means it can be
     taken repeatedly.
