Ethics being a very important education in field of computer science. CS 2013 Says, while technical issues are central to the computing curriculum, they do not constitute a complete educational program in the field. Students must also be exposed to the larger societal context of computing to develop an understanding of the relevant social, ethical, legal and professional issues. This need to incorporate the study of these non-technical issues into the ACM curriculum was formally recognized in 1991.
Clarifies that the advanced application list is a subset of a larger, unspecified, set of adequate options.
Advanced Applications was listed as a precursor and possible replacement for the final project. This merges the two and specifies that students may choose another avenue for creating a capstone project.

Hi,
I am currently taking this course and I am about half way into it. I already have a CS degree and I've been working as a developer for ~8 years.
The course is very interesting and comprehensive.
If you want to do this course properly, I think 6 hours per week for this course is bare minimum:
- There are ~3 hours of lectures each week
- The original course is split into 14 weeks
- Each chapter has homework at the end of it
- Homeworks are not very difficult, but some of them require significant amount of work
- Projects require significant amount of work
* updated Prolog link, added PDF version
* updated Prolog link, added PDF version
- removed `Text` column, added footnote instead
* updated Prolog link, added PDF version
- parentheses
* updated Prolog link, added PDF version
- added link to book source code
We often get issues opened that are empty, with no text or description of a problem. This may be because learners follow the link from the Community section, and post in order to interact. By removing the link (but keeping the link to the contributing instructions) we can hopefully direct new learners in how to interact productively.
- To be more consistent with our Khan Academy recommendation elsewhere in the curriculum
- also some students expressed confusion with the FutureLearn course
