Programming Practicum

Catalog description

Instructional Method: One hour lecture. Prerequisites: CS 220 or permission of instructor. Provides practical experience writing programs to solve non-trivial, self-contained problems. The course includes lectures teaching and reviewing standard algorithms and data structures (e.g. searching a state space, and graph representations), discussion on how they might need to be adapted to a particular task at hand, and supervised lab time coding solutions. Problems are similar to those on programming contests, although participating in such contests is not required for the class (nor vice versa). Note(s): This course may be taken more than once for credit. This course may not be used to satisfy a major requirement, including technical and B.S. electives. This class cannot contribute more than one hour of credit towards a minor within the Information Technology department. A student can repeat CS 307 but cannot receive more than 4 credit hours.
