At the start of your studies in Computer Science, you focused on the basic building blocks of the C++ language, how to use them, and how they can be combined. In this semester, we take that one step further; we explore our ability as writers of programs to create more and more complex data types from those basic pieces. This will aid us in the creation of ever more complex and interesting ways of storing and manipulating information.

This course meets three times a week for lecture, and one additional afternoon a week for a lab. You must be signed up for the lab section. Labs will typically cover exercises which illustrate that week's lecture topic. Attendance in lab is mandatory; no credit is given for a lab that is missed.

Information and announcements will be frequently communicated via email. It is the student's responsibility to check for email announcements on a regular basis throughout the week. Emails will usually be sent from the Blackboard system, so make certain the email address you have registered in Blackboard is the one at which you prefer to receive emails.
