TLAs

Hours/week
(if applicable)

CILO 1

Journal: As a learning and knowledge sharing tool, students are required to keep a journal to record learning progress and summarize personalized Q&A, in particular to accumulate experiences on this CILO.

CILO 2

Project: Students are required to do two projects. The first one is a simple extension of the materials taught in class while the second one is either an implementation of some complicated data structures taught in class or a study on an advanced data structure not covered in class. Both projects require the students to do some analysis on data structures and also give the students an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities to apply knowledge learned to solve new problems. The project should be documented in a project report.

CILO 3

Project: The second project will be focused on achieving this CILO, where students are encouraged to use the data structures they learned in class or by themselves to media needs, for example, games.
Presentation: Class participation is an important part of learning for this course.  Students are required to present their second project in class.  The teacher will provide some basic background information for the related presented topics.  In this way, students who present can practice their abilities to explain things clearly while knowledge on different topics prepared by different groups can be shared among them.  This activity also supports this CILO.
