FHTW Berlin Fachbereich 4 Internationaler Studiengang Internationale Medieninformatik (Bachelor) Info 2: Informatik II Winter Term 2007/08

This course is an introduction to algorithms and data structure . It will be taught in English and with the Java programming language, and will be taught using the language , but it is not about the language. Mastery of Java syntax as taught in Informatik II is assumed.

We learned primitive data types and classes in Informatik I. We will now be looking at more complex data structures and algorithms which work on these data structures. In particular we will be concentrating on how to solve (small) problems using a programming language.

A major component of the class will be a bi-weekly, four-hour, in-class laboratory. During the "off" weeks you have "finger exercises" to do als preparation for the next lab, and you will be writing a report about the previous lab. The lab report will be due at the start of the following laboratory. Much of the lab work will be spent in collaborative work on program development, with an emphasis on student-student interaction and student-student teaching, facilitated and enriched by the course teacher and the tutor.
