CMPSC 201C and 101C: [April 27, 2007]
A couple students have brought to our attention that all sections of CMPSC 201C for this fall are full, as is the only uncontrolled section of CMPSC 101C. This is certainly a serious problem given our strong recommendation for you to take CMPSC 101C or 201C as a prerequisite for Meteo 473.


The Computer Science and Engineering Department has told us that soon they will be adding one or two more sections of CMPSC 201C for the fall semester. Also, the controls on CMPSC 101C will be lifted in mid- to late July after FTCAP, and they believe that spots will become available at that time. Thus, we are optimistic that if you had planned on registering for CMPSC 101C or CMPSC 201C this fall, then you will be able to do so prior to the start of the semester. --Prof. Shirer.

Podcast: When a bunch of your friends are in the recording booth with you, the pressure is on and spirits are high, your slightest mistake can get everyone laughing. You have to regain your composure and keep trying until you record a professional-sounding forecast. For Penn State Meteorology student Tom Sabbatelli, it's all part of learning to ignore distractions while producing quality radio, TV and print weather forecasts and information. [View the Video]
