Hi Students,

Welcome to CS450! I am looking forward to the semester.

To ensure a smooth start, please fill out this pre-class survey as soon as you can. (Enter your full umb.edu email into the Google sign-in box to access the survey. You may need to sign out of other accounts first, or open the link in an incognito window.)

One piece of information I need right away is your GitHub account (create one if you don’t have one already). This is needed to do homework. The other survey questions will allow me to address any additional concerns as soon as possible.

Note that CS220 (Discrete Math) and CS310 (Advanced Data Structures and Algorithms) are pre-requisites of this course.

See you in the first class!
