Course Info
CS 2111 (formerly 212) is a one-credit project course offered in association with CS 2110 (formerly 211). The course consists of a moderately large programming project in Java. The course is required for the Computer Science major. Students may take 2111 either simultaneously with 2110 or afterwards.
There are no official lectures; however, the instructor and/or teaching assistants will be available during the scheduled lecture and recitation times to answer questions. There are no exams.
The project this semester will be IthacaQuest, a Mapquest-like application. The project will be divided into four separate assignments.
Most of the course policies and procedures regarding grading, regrades, consulting hours, sources, late homework policy, academic integrity, etc. are the same as for CS 2110. Rather than duplicate that information here, we will limit this web site to information that applies exclusively to CS2111. If you are looking for some information and don't find it here, consult the CS 2110 site.
