What did you guys think of that exam? What did you get on it?

It would not have been bad, if I had any idea what was going to be on it. I clearly studied the wrong material.

damn synapse, I thought you were older than that, that's one class I have had before you

of course last semester there were probably like 5 generations of ECE in that one class because of the java exemption

I hope he curves, Bradley sure sucks at making/grading exams.

Grades are up. Looks like he curved it a little.

B. Not bad, considering I trashed the final

what the hell is ECE 209, and why is an ECE/CPE senior just now taking it?

^ ECE 209: Intro to Computer Systems. It's basically a C-programming class where they introduce and have you code a bunch of different data structures such as: stacks, linked lists, heaps, binary trees. Also you code searching and sorting algorithms such as Quicksort, Mergesort, Heapsort, etc.

For new students, ECE 209 is part of the curriculum. For old students (like myself) you can use this class in place of Java 2 since the ECE department got rid of the Java 2 requirement.

yeah Java and ECE are splitsville, those csc kids can keep their javas

the Principal Engineer (designer) i work with is an EE from MIT, who is a Java fanatic. I wish I knew more Java myself, its pretty powerful and portable.

No I agree Java is a very good thing to know, but I think it should be taught later in ECE when you can actually understand what's going on underneath. I think it is a poor language to start out with, getting your fundamentals with assembly and C, then transitioning to more flexible/powerful languages.
