Huge step up from CIS*1500. Do your work, and especially the assignments. ‘Barely making it’ will no longer get you the cut. Start your assignments early and bulletproof the code or the test cases will bite you in the ass. It doesn’t get any easier after this.

START ASSIGNMENTS EARLY! They can take up to 15 hours each. TAs are very helpful and Judi is one of the best \'teachers\' at the university - so take advantage: ask for help when you need it and actually go to labs/class.

As long as you pay attention and ask for help, it's manageable. The third assignment (on linked lists) was the hardest part of the course until you grasped what you were supposed to be doing; the rest was fairly manageable.

Really good course - really advanced my knowledge in programming. Some people found it difficult but I think as long as you go to class and ask for help when you need it you'll get through!
