CS Preparation
Placement test offered this summer
11 out of 31 have passed
CS 305J
Course
for students with little to no background in
programming
CS 307 Preparedness
variables and data types
expressions, order of operations
decision making– if statements,
including boolean logic and
boolean expressions
arrays (vectors, lists)
top down design (breaking big
rocks into little rocks)
loops (fixed and variable
repetition)
algorithm and data design
create and implement program
of at least 200 - 300 lines of
code, with 4 to 8 functions /
methods / sub routines /
procedures
procedures or functions
structures or records or objects
parameters (reference and
value parameters, local
variables, scope, problem
generalization)
Dual/Transfer Credit
MUST request transcript be sent to UT.
Grade received will NOT apply to UT GPA.
Professional schools WILL count your dual
credit courses in your GPA.
Use Automated Transfer Equivalency (ATE) to
determine transferability prior to enrolling in
course.
Claiming AP Credit
Not all AP credit will apply to every major
(i.e. PHY, STA, EDP)
Talk to Rob or Jenn prior to claiming AP
credit.
May affect your application to professional
