99.9.7 Course Prerequisites
According to the Calendar, the prerequisite is
"familiarity with a high level programming language" which could be java,
C/C++ or a good course in Pascal. I will assume your programming level
is the same as those who took 308-202, in the language that you studied.
You may take 202 as a corequisite if you meet this requirement. If you
do not have a good programming background, take 202 before
250.
