The official syllabus for COMP 410 is available here

RUBRIC: Organizational details (e.g., breakup of grades, homework policy, etc.) are available here

PREREQUISITES:

COMP 401 (Foundations of Programming)
An ability to program in Java --- if you do not already have this ability, it is your responsibility to obtain it ASAP.
Basic math: exponentiation and logarithms; series sums; familiarity with proof techniques (including proof by by induction)

SPECIAL NEEDS: If you are entitled to extra accommodation for any reason (such as a disability), we make every reasonable attempt to accommodate you. However, it is your responsibility to discuss this with the instructor during the first week of the course.

TOPICS COVERED: Lecture outlines and handouts are available here (you may need a UNC Computer Science login ID to access this site)

DISCUSSION FORUM: I encourage the use of Piazza for class discussion. The system is highly catered to getting you help fast and efficiently from classmates (and occasionally, the TAs and the instructor). I encourage you to post your questions on Piazza and participate in discussions there. (The instructor and TAs will monitor these discussions, but for the most part not participate -- the idea is to use it as a forum for students to hold active discussions and help one another.)
