Welcome to COP3530 - This course is taught at Daytona State College as part of the BSIT program.

This course introduces fundamentals of Data Structures. Topics include: Programming strategies, Data Structures, Searching,  Complexity, Queues, Sorting, and Algorithms.

This is an online textbook developed by Dr. Ron Eaglin for this course. It has everything you need to be successful in this course - go buy a latte - you just saved some money.

How the Class Works

This class has 15 weekly assignments that you must complete and submit. Each assignment has links to corresponding lectures. The assignments also contain a quiz to be used for self-assessment. If you do not understand a quiz question - you need to ask about it, even thought the answers are available (including explanations) - you need to understand the answers.
