Emacs should be discontinued. Emacs is no longer the defacto text editor, and the average user need not learn the intricacies of elisp.

Proposal

• LaTeX: An introduction to LaTex and common uses of it.
• The UNIX Shell and Dotfiles: Combine aspects of the Dotfiles course with shell operations from the Working on Athena course. Covers shell I/O, process control, command-line file system manipulation, etc. Break out into 2 smaller courses if material necessitates.
• Making a Home Page: Possibly combined with an introduction to Scripts

These three courses should be offered during IAP student feedback suggests that in fact they should be offered in September and early October. That does not preclude additional IAP offerings. There's no time to offer them during September, and attendance throughout the term was historically fairly sporadic. Consultation with SIPB is suggested to ensure that such topics are perennially offered in the IAP course catalog, and will be taught by IS&T staff if no SIPB members are interested.
