CS 495 Syllabus

Class Objectives

This class balances the imperative, object-oriented bent of the introductory programming sequence (CS 115 & CS 116 / CS 201) by presenting alternative programming paradigms, and asks students to write complex programs from scratch while amassing a repertoire of reusable programming patterns and techniques.

Programming assignments -- drawn from various domains of computer science -- will highlight the importance of selecting appropriate data structures, algorithms, and techniques for the problem at hand.
