Computational Thinking
Overview
I was formerly the course coordinator for COR-IS1702 Computational Thinking (also known as IS103) and taught the course for eight years (2012 -- 2019). The course is part of the Core Curriculum of Singapore Management University (SMU) and is offered by the School of Information Systems (SIS). Open to all undergraduates of any major at SMU, it is mandated for BSc (Information Systems) students.
For an overview of the course, check out the following introduction slides that we used in the first week.
Resources
We maintain a playlist of lesson videos on YouTube for review by students. If you wish to get notified when a new video appears, subscribe to the channel.
For the data structure topics, we develop our own original materials modeled on the tutorial exercises of Explorations in Computing by John S. Conery.
So the Last shall be First, and the First Last discusses linear data structures such as stacks, queues, and priority queues.
Good Things Come in Pairs describes hierarchical data structures such as binary trees and binary search trees.
It's a Small World After All introduces non-linear data structures such as graphs, and several graph algorithms such as shortest-path and topological sort.
These materials are shared through the links below for educational uses, provided proper acknowledgments are made where appropriate.
