SYLLABUS
Course objective
Prepare you for the official CS 31. We will try to hit as many main topics as possible while making sure you don’t pass out during lectures. We will also talk about some cool technical topics for your entertainment.
Course materials
Will be based on lectures, only. So make sure you take notes.
The official course textbook is Absolute C++, Third Edition, by Walter Savitch, Addison Wesley, 2008. Previous editions of the book are also fine.
You do NOT need the textbook for this CS 31 Bridge class. However, you should buy it if you plan on taking the CS 31 in the Fall 08. You can wait till Winter 09 or Spring 09 if you plan on taking CS 31 in later quarter.
You do NOT need a computer for this CS 31 Bridge class. All the homework will be provided on paper.
You do NOT need internet 24/7. We don’t require you to read online materials. However, you should have internet access at some point in order to read this Syllabus (duhh!!!)
Projects and Homework
There won’t be any programming projects since not all of you have a computer to work on.
There will be take-home homework. You can work in group of 2-3 people for your homework. Talk and discuss among your group. However, write your own answer for the homework. Don’t copy each other (bad!!!)
