Lectures

CS2110 has the twice-weekly lectures. Attendance is required.

Lecture notes are usually posted the day/evening before the lecture. Please download the lecture notes the evening before a lecture, peruse them to get a sense of what the lecture is about, and then have the lecture notes handy during the lecture (either on paper or on your laptop/tablet/phone). During the lecture, we use not only the ppt slides but also Eclipse, DrJava, and the web, and when we are not using the ppt slides it will be useful for you to have them to look at.

Recitations

It is important to attend a weekly recitation, which are considered to be part of the required classwork for the course. We often present material in recitation that is required but not covered in the main lectures. You can switch from recitation to recitation but we like to know which one you are in, in case the University needs to contact you. We added some recitations at a late date; please switch to them if you can to balance out the number of students in each recitation. Use add/drop if you switch sections.

Weekly recitation notes will be posted below as we finalize them.

CS2111

This 1-credit S/U optional enrichment class is offered for people who are concerned that that CS2110 might move too quickly and would like a bit of additional help understanding the key ideas. Adrian Sampson and David Gries will be teaching it. Students taking CS2111 must ALSO attend the main lectures and a recitation section. You must be enrolled in ENGRD/CS2110 in oder to take CS2111.

Weekly PDF files for the materials covered in CS2111 are posted on the course CS2111 website ---get to it from a link on the Links page.

Course text

You don't have to buy a book! We have produced online materials for most of the course: JavaHyperText and Data Structures. Part of this "book" consists of over 50 short (2-6 minute) tutorial/videos, which you will look at at the appropriate time.

Lecture schedule

Below is a tentative list of lecture topics, times for handing out assignments, deadlines for submitting assignments, and times for the prelims and prelim review sessions. The order and content of lectures may be changed as the course progresses.
