I'll echo this. Of course, I took it at RDC before I transferred so I can't speak to its instruction quality at U of C. It was surprisingly interesting, but introductory enough that it didn't overwhelm with complex and abstract theories.
I also took the Computing Science 203 course (CMPT 261 @ RDC).

Introduction to Problem Solving using Application Software
CPSC203: H(3-2T-1)
Introduction to Problem Solving using Application Software
Introduction to computer fundamentals; contemporary topics, such as security and privacy, and the Internet and world wide web. Problem solving, analysis and design using application software, including spreadsheets and databases.
Note: This course is not available for credit for Computer Science majors. This course cannot be used to satisfy the Computer Science requirement in the Natural Sciences program. Basic familiarity with personal computers and commonly used software, including word processors, electronic mail and web browsers, will be assumed.

Essentially it was just constructing some spreadsheets, a wiki, an evaluation word document, etc. Super easy, but again I can't speak to what it's like at the U of C.
EDIT: Also, although they are interesting and extremely relevant to modern life and business, STAS courses don't seem to count as science options (in my degree path, anyway).
