[quote=Anonymous]It wouldn't have been a problem 15 years ago when I graduated college. The CS sequence at my university was arranged so that CS 100 (which required no prior experience) was offered in the fall semester and CS 211 offered in the spring semester. Students who had AP'd out of CS 100 and students who took CS 100 joined together to take CS 211 in the spring. It's possible that with competition getting more intense, the entry level CS 100 classes are now being packed with more students who could have passed out but didn't, and that would affect the grading curve. I'd ask students who are currently enrolled what the actual makeup of the class in entry level CS courses in their school is.[/quote]
