CSD 436 Algorithmic Problem Solving for Interviews5 credits
This course teaches advanced algorithm and problem-solving techniques. Students learn to identify and combine known algorithms to solve real-world problems, including those used at a technical job interview for a software development position. Common interview problems are classified, studied, and solved. Students participate in mock technical interviews and provide and discuss interview feedback.
Prerequisites: CSD 335 and admission to the BAS IT:CSD program
Course Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:
- Demonstrate successful techniques for a technical problem solving interview
