It is now taught in Java while the data structures class (225) is C++. The Computer Engineering curriculum is going the other way and now teaches computer architecture, assembly, and C (in that order) before sending students over to the CS department for data structures.
Former TAs tell me that CompE students find CS 225 to be much easier than Computer Science students.
I can imagine. Just for reference, I graduated in '98, so things have probably changed quite a bit since I was there. Every class after CS125 used C++ (except AI, which was in Lisp), but C++98 was still in committee and the STL wasn't really available (templates existed, though). So it really was more like "C with Classes" than modern C++.
I wonder if CS373 is still destroyer of students that it was in my day. The average score (before the curve) was around 40%.
