My degree is in Fine Art, and I thought the class was pointlessly easy. Fix the class in two easy steps:
Lecture live, record the lectures. EVERY speaker is more effective when they have the feedback of their audience's faces.
Expect the members of the public to meet the class' standard, don't shrivel the curriculum to match the public. An applied CS course that doesn't demand programming is bizarre. Flunk everyone if you have to. Grades should perhaps reflect understanding?
