  3. Why Data Structures are Important? • Core course for CS • Foundations for advanced courses such as OS, Databases and Computer Networks • Graduate studies • Job search: many Data Structures interview questions (@ Microsoft, Google, Yahoo)

  4. Challenges in CSSE 250 • Textbook: examples with classes and templates in C++ • Students may not be familiar with C++ classes and templates • But, if we can make it, • Very EASY to pass the course “Object-Oriented Programming” • So, Let’s WORK HARDER!!!

  5. How to Learn CSSE 250 Well? • Go through the example codes in Textbook • Write your own codes while closing book • More programming exercises • More thinking. E.g., how to make a choice on data structures and algorithms to implement an ADT (Abstract Data Type)? • …

  6. What can I do for you? • From my experiences as a student, I know the difficulties you’ll be facing • From my SE’s experiences, I’d like to share the experiences with you • From the Professor’s perspective, I am willing to teach you more and help you to learn better • So, talk to me if you have any questions! • I’ll pay attention to everyone in my class
