The course starts 13.15, October 30, 2000. A short definition of the course is available. Examples are sorting and graph algorithms. These changes imply that old exams and old exercises contain lots of irrelevant material. Naturally, they lack questions concerning some of the new topics as well.
Some students like to work hard, gain a lot of knowledge and get high grades.
Others just want to make it through the courses. That is a fact I have learned as a teacher. Off course all other thinkable kinds of students exist in the spectra in between these extremes. Two versions of each mandatory assignment. One less demanding, and one with the potential of giving more bonus credits for the examination.
