Courses

These are the computer courses I'll be taking this year (descriptions quoted directly from the Trent University Academic Calendar).

Computer Science 102H – Introduction to software engineering with C/C++
This course is the introductory programming course for Computer Science majors. Students will learn how to design, test and debug computer programs using the C/C++ programming languages. Topics to be covered include a general discussion of programming languages, algorithm design, program testing, program debugging, linked lists. No prerequisite. Excludes Computer Science 152H.

Computer Science 104H – Programming methodologies
The purpose of this course is to provide experience in developing larger and more complex computer programs, including a more detailed examination of some of the advanced concepts of the C/C++ programming language. Topics to be covered include recursive programming, linked lists, program development techniques (such as top-down design, program testing, program structure and documentation), the preprocessor, bit manipulation, unions, introduction to data structures, and an introduction to C in UNIX. Prerequisite: Computer Science 102H.

Computer Studies 283H – Introduction to multimedia and design
Cultural implications of multimedia within the convergence of television, home entertainment, computing and data communication technologies. History of design as it affects the look and feel of our current surroundings. The significance of digital audio, digital video and graphics design for electronic publishing.

Ironically, the 200-level course should be easier than the 100-level courses (at least, insofar as I'm already familiar with the material).
