Always glad to see someone else who remembers that era at GT!

CS1311 - Data structures in pseudocode (or Scheme if you had the "X" class) CS1312 - Build the game "Risk" in Java CS2130 - Die a painful death at the hands of Jim Greenlee's compiler class.




I actually think the class needs a book or at least an extended article written about the end of the "shaft" era. I've never seen a professor brag about a student offering a bribe in order to pass.

It was interesting to see so many classmates panic in the class over how seemingly arbitrary the zeroes were given over minor mistakes. I, for example, was given a zero for a lab because I forgot to sign in. The grade for this lab was entirely based on signing in though because it was written incorrectly. The class just had tons of "life isn't fair, you should have paid attention" anecdotes.
