CIS*2750: Software Systems Development and Integration
This was my first course creating a large-scale application and my first experience with web programming. I really enjoyed learning and working with new topics in programming. This course has a reputation for being very difficult, but I found with good time management that I could succeed. I also really liked my prof for this course - Denis Nikitenko. He was excellent at explaining the topics and gave great in-person lectures.
CIS*3110: Operating Systems
This course focused on the underlying components of operating systems such as cpu scheduling, resource allocation, multi-programming, and file systems. Before this course, I didn’t know a lot about any of these topics. I found the course material very helpful in furthering my knowledge of the lower-level areas of the computer.
CIS*3490: The Analysis and Design of Computer Algorithms
This course challenged me to think differently about programming than the other course I had taken. It was much more process driven and required creative problem solving. This was the first course where I found myself applying the mathematics I had learned in my first year. If anything, this course reignited my interest in mathematics.
