## Course Objectives
<div style="font-size:67%">
<ul>
<li>Understand program representation from the high-level programming language perspective down to the underlying machine level representation, including: number representation, operations, conditionals, and control structures</li>
<li>Be able to implement basic and advanced abstract data types in C++ including: linked lists, stacks, queues, hash tables, trees, and graphs</li>
<li>Be able to evaluate asymptotic time and space complexity analysis of programs and data structure implementations using Big-O, Big-Omega, and Big-Theta notation and assess the suitability of a data structure for a particular problem</li>
<li>Understand the basic program execution model and the underlying computer hardware and software (fetch-execute cycle, memory hierarchy, operating system, compiler)</li>
<li>Be able to implement basic program control and data structures in an assembly language (loops, conditionals, subroutines and parameter passing modes, arrays)</li>
</div>

## What was new this semester
- Much better TA-to-student ratio due to the smaller class size
- Very experienced TAs
- A few tweaks and updates to the [github repo](https://github.com/uva-cs/pdr)
- A very small class (about 80 students)

## What didn't work well
- More individual student issues (illness, mental health) than is typical, which was not surprising
- Only one instructor keeping up with all the logistics
- M1 Macs not being able to run x86 assembly
- Gradescope compilation issues due to a reconfiguration on their side
</script></section>

## CS 2150 Enrollment Graph
</script></section>
<section data-markdown><script type="text/template">
## What did work well
- Gradescope as the submission system (even if there were tweaks to be made)
- Especially the support ticket system, even if we were occassionally slow to respond
- The office hours queue system (but not Thursdays)
- An excellent group of undergraduate TAs
- None of the labs had any major issues! W00t!
- Use of the [github repo](https://github.com/uva-cs/pdr), and almost no use of Collab
- Behind-the-scenes stuff: TA management, organization, etc.
</script></section>
<section data-markdown><script type="text/template">
## Did we push too hard?
- We got as many "things are going great" comments as "things are going terrible"
- Part of the issues were the hard labs
- This course is meant to be a lot of work: a gateway into the CS electives
- The goal is to make you work efficiently, not necessarily more
- In hindsight, considering how much you accomplished this semester, was it still too much work?
</script></section>
<section data-markdown><script type="text/template">
## Changes for next semester
- This is the last semester of CS 2150!
- The course content is being split into multiple classes in the new curriculum:
- Data structures into CS 3100 (DSA2)
- Assembly into CS 2130 & 3130 (CSO1 & CSO2, but more so the former)

## CS 2150 moving forward
- RIP
