Subject: course description

Hi All,
On last nights survey, someone wrote that they
did not think that the course was consistent with
the catalog description.

Perhaps there are topics that we have not gotten to
yet...otherwise, I think that we are on-track.

Would anyone care to suggest topics that they would like
to see in the course?

Would anyone care to mention topics that we have
covered that they feel are inconsistent with the
course description?

 Just to refresh our memory:
1999 Catalog Data:
Object oriented programming,
using Java, Packages, Interfaces, Multi-threading, Classes, Inheritance,
Exceptions, Interfaces, AWT, Applets, new API's.

Pre-requisites The student should have significant programming experience
in at least one third generation (procedural) language. Experience in the C
language is not assumed, but helpful. Experience in object-oriented
programming is not assumed, but very helpful. Access to a Java development
environment will be necessary to complete all exercises. Basic knowledge of
networking and operating system design will be assumed.

Regards,
