Download Course Syllabus for Introduction to Advanced Studies I | CS 401 and more Exams Computer Science in PDF only on Docsity! CS 401: Introduction to Advanced Studies I Department of Computer Science Illinois Institute of Technology This course explores the implementation and application of fundamental data structures and algorithms, with an emphasis on object-oriented programming. During the semester, we will examine the relationship between these elements and the mathematical structures that form the foundation of computer science. By the end of the semester, the student should be able to determine which class of data structures is appropriate for a given problem and be able to describe the performance characteristics and limitations of their choice. The course uses Java as a programming language. It is expected that enrolled students know programming in general and Java in particular. Students can enroll if they know C++ and are willing to self-teach themselves Java during the first four weeks of the semester. Prerequisites of the class are CS201 or a CS401 placement test.

Data structures in Java: A laboratory course, Sandra Andersen Jones and Bartlett Publishers, 2002 (Required) Expectations Students are expected to adhere to IIT's academic integrity policy. Inter-personal discussion is encouraged, however, while inter-personal discussions can help in better understanding the subject matter, such discussions are not to be used as a substitute for sharing solutions on individual homework and laboratory assignments. Homework assignments or laboratory assignments that are the work of one individual and shared with others will result in all affected students receiving a zero (0) grade for that particular assignment. There will be laboratory assignments throughout the semester. The assignments would occur on a Tuesday and will be due on the Tuesday of the following week for Sections 01 and 02. Assignments are expected to be completed by the due date and submitted using Blackboard. The time stamp on the assignments is expected to be no later than 11:59:59 PM local time on the day that the assignment is due. Each day that the assignment is submitted late will result in a penalty of 8 points; an assignment that is submitted more than 7 days late will not be accepted. You can do the laboratory assignment on any operating system (Linux, Unix, Windows), using any IDE (Eclipse) or no IDE (command line compilation). The TA will provide further instructions during the first laboratory period on using Eclipse and compiling Java
