Computer Science III covers object-oriented programming and inheritance in Java, more advanced data structures (lists, stacks, queues, trees), and the efficiency and complexity algorithms (particularly searching, sorting). These are graded courses, and students will earn one half year of credit (semester) for each course. There will be about three hours of homework assigned each day. The position will be part time.

Where There Be Dragons
An international job with Dragons is challenging, yet also infinitely rewarding!
