My Major in Computer Science

[ view the Computer Science Department homepage ]

I've been programming in C++ since i was a freshman in high school. I attempted very few major projects, but learned the structure of the language fairly well. I went on to fall in love with UNIX (in all its various flavors) and learn the HTML language and the CGI protocol, and finally Java.

Courses taken at WMU
  • CS 200: Programming Language Experience in C++
Courses taken at Kalamazoo College
  • CS 470: Data Structures
  • CS 950: Software Engineering in Java
  • CS 510: Algorithms
  • CS 750: Computability, Automata, and Formal Languages
  • CS 515: Principles of Programming Languages
  • CS 500: Computer Architectures
Courses TA'd at Kalamazoo College
  • CS 400: Introduction to Computer Science
  • CS 420
  • CS 470: Data Structures
Courses still required
  • none
"Strongly Recommended" courses
  • CS 530: Operating Systems
Total units: 6.6
Total units: 1

Eight units are required for the major -- as you can see, the number of classes i have taken and the number of recommended classes remaining add to only 7.6. This is because the transfer between WMU and "K" College didn't work exactly as I'd hoped. So, I am also completing a computer science SIP to make up the balance of required credits (and then some).
