CS333, Summer 2017

CS333 Outline

Summer 2017

Welcome to CS333

Last offered in Summer 2017, CS333 combined the core material of CS150 and CS250 into a single course, intended for students who had taken their first programming course in a programming language other than C++.

Although CS333 has been retired from the course catalog, this website is preserved as a resource for students wishing to review material from CS250 or to explore the differences between their “CS250-equivalent” transfer course taken elsewhere and what ODU CS students are expected to know going in to later courses such as CS330 and CS361.

Students with an ODU CS network account can use most of the assignments from Summer 2017 as practice problems. If submitted, they will be automatically graded and an email report sent back. (Of course, there will be some outrageous late penalties assessed!)
