Data Structures
Class Hours: 3.0 Lecture
Total Contact Hours: 54 Lecture
Prerequisite: CIS 183 or CIS 280X or equivalent of either course with a grade of "C" or higher or "Pass" or appropriate work experience.v
This course introduces the structured representation of data in computer systems and programming languages. It teaches the creation of structures that maintain complex data relationships in order to access, search through, and modify that data in an organized and efficient manner. Students learn to analyze the time and size efficiency tradeoffs of the various data structures and access algorithms. Techniques are presented for organizing data into useful types of lists, trees, stacks, and queues using array-based and linked structures. Students develop efficient algorithms to order and access that data using iteration and recursion to solve complex, real-world problems. Other advanced data structures such as self-balancing trees and graphs are designed and evaluated. This course is required for university transfer in computer science.

Directed Studies
A course to provide opportunity for individual research and field projects under the direction of a faculty member in a given department. With the guidance of the faculty member, students prepare and carry out a written learning agreement describing the purposes and outcomes of the project. Students should expect to meet with the supervising faculty member one to two hours each week for conferences. Credit is based upon the number of hours in the semester expected to complete the project (1 unit for 54 hours). This course may be taken a maximum of 2 times. For selected disciplines, UC transfer credit may be possible after admission to a UC campus, pending review of appropriate course materials by UC staff. See a counselor for an explanation.
