We will also play around with some next generation sequencing data.

Late assignments submitted within 48 hours of the time required (or otherwise specified) will receive a 20% late penalty. Electronic submission is closed 48 hours after assignments are due (or as otherwise specified); students not having submitted programs receive an automatic zero on the assignment.
**Written assignments** are to be submitted in class. These may be handwritten, but must be legible.
The instructors and TAs reserve the right to decide whether or not a paper is legible.
Late assignments are accepted in class on the first MWF after the original due date, and will receive a 20% late penalty.
Assignment will be returned within 5 working days of the end of the late period.

===Professional Conduct
All students are expected to conduct themselves professionally. We assume you are familiar with the policies in the
[[http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~info/student-info | student information sheet]].
Additionally, you are (beginning) computing professionals, so you should be familiar with the
[[http://www.acm.org/about/code-of-ethics|code of conduct]] for the primary professional society,
the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
>>center<<
You MAY discuss assignments but the work you turn in must be your own.
>><<
We work to maintain an environment supportive of learning in the classroom and laboratory.
Towards this end, we require that you be courteous to and respectful of your fellow participants
(i.e., classmates, instructors, TAs and tutors). In particular:
* Please turn off the ring on your cell phone. If you are expecting an emergency call, sit near the door and slide out discretely to take it.
* If you plan to use a laptop during class, please sit at the back of the classroom and turn off any sound from the machine. The tap-tap of the keyboard and the images showing on a screen can be distracting to those sitting around you. Also, be aware if you IM during class, that giggles, snorts or other reactions to what you are reading can be heard by the class and instructors and may be completely inappropriate with what is going on in the classroom.
* Laptops and other personal computing devices must be shut during exams and quizzes.

!!!Course Outline
* Introduction: steps in creating a computer program.
* Simple python programs: Variables, assignment statements, arithmetic expressions, input and output statements.
* Control flow statements: if statements, while statements, for statements.
* Functions: general concept, declaration and calls, parameters.
* Simple data structures: arrays (implemented as Python lists), strings
* Files: reading and writing text files.
* Using python objects.
* Writing python objects and object oriented programming.
* Using python packages: numpy, matplotlib and BioPython.
* Algorithms and problem solving techniques – the course presents at least one sorting algorithm in detail and introduces students to related topics such as run-time analysis.
* Program development – the process of writing longer programs by dividing tasks into methods and classes.

===Course Description
CS200 revisits and extends the principles of programming and discrete math that are introduced in CS161 and applies them to the development, analysis and implementation of data structures and efficient software.
The course is taught using the Java language and emphasizes an object oriented approach to data structures. Specific topics in data structures/algorithms include advanced sorting, queues, stacks, hashing, trees, and graphs. Complementary topics from theory include recurrence relations, trees, and graphs. The course requires larger programs and team programming.

===Course Description
CS200 revisits and extends the principles of programming and discrete math that are introduced in CS161 and applies them to the development, analysis and implementation of data structures and efficient software.
The course is taught using the Java language and emphasizes an object oriented approach to data structures. Specific topics in data structures/algorithms include advanced sorting, queues, stacks, hashing, trees, and graphs. Complementary topics from theory include recurrence relations, trees, and graphs. The course requires larger programs and team programming.
Topics
* Linear Data Structures: Stacks and Queues
* Advanced Sorting
* Trees
* Graphs
* Hash Tables
* Computational Complexity

===Grading:
||Assignments || 45% ||Programing and written assignments
||Quizzes || 10% ||
||Midterms (2) || 25% ||1st Midterm: 12%\\2nd Midterm: 13%
||Final Exam || 20% ||Comprehensive
Assignments will be done individually, except selected programming assignments
Quizzes will typically be given during one lecture class each week, except those weeks in which a midterm exam is being given.
No makeups will be given for quizzes, but two quiz grades will be dropped.
Class participation is strongly encouraged. Students who ask or answer a question during lecture will be given a chit (maximum of one per student per class session). Three chits earned translate into 10 additional points on the next quiz.
The assignment of letter grades will be made as follows:
||
||Letter Grade || Point Range
|| A || 90-100 ||
|| B || 80-89.9 ||
|| C || 70-79.9 ||
|| D || 60-69.9 ||
|| F || below 60 ||
NOTE: We will NOT cut higher than these points (but may cut lower).
----
===Late and Makeup Policy
**Midterm and Finals:** Make-up exams are only given in extraordinary circumstances (e.g., illness, death of family member). Students must consult with the instructor as soon as possible, preferably before the start of the exam. Course examination dates are listed in the syllabus; be aware of them and plan accordingly.
No make-ups will be given for missed quizzes.
**Programming assignments** are to be submitted electronically using the [[http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~cs200/checkin.html |checkin]] program. Always check the assignment page for due dates. Late assignments submitted within 48 hours of the time required (or otherwise specified) will receive a 20% late penalty. Electronic submission is closed 48 hours after assignments are due (or as otherwise specified); students not having submitted programs receive an automatic zero on the assignment.
**Written assignments** are to be submitted in class. These may be handwritten, but must be legible.
The instructors and TAs reserve the right to decide whether or not a paper is legible.
Late assignments are accepted in class on the first MWF after the original due date, and will receive a 20% late penalty.
Assignment will be returned within 5 working days of the end of the late period.

===Professional Conduct
All students are expected to conduct themselves professionally. We assume you are familiar with the policies in the
[[http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~info/student-info | student information sheet]].
Additionally, you are (beginning) computing professionals, so you should be familiar with the
[[http://www.acm.org/about/code-of-ethics|code of conduct]] for the primary professional society,
the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
>>center<<
You MAY discuss assignments but the work you turn in must be your own.
>><<
We work to maintain an environment supportive of learning in the classroom and laboratory.
Towards this end, we require that you be courteous to and respectful of your fellow participants
(i.e., classmates, instructors, TAs and tutors). In particular:
* Please turn off the ring on your cell phone. If you are expecting an emergency call, sit near the door and slide out discretely to take it.
* If you plan to use a laptop during class, please sit at the back of the classroom and turn off any sound from the machine. The tap-tap of the keyboard and the images showing on a screen can be distracting to those sitting around you. Also, be aware if you IM during class, that giggles, snorts or other reactions to what you are reading can be heard by the class and instructors and may be completely inappropriate with what is going on in the classroom.
* Laptops and other personal computing devices must be shut during exams and quizzes.
