If you have not taken CSCI E-22 (Formerly CSCI E-119) (Data
Structures) or CSCI E-124 (Data Structures and Algorithms), how do you
meet the prerequisite?


More specifically, do you have experience implementing many different
data structures from scratch?  If yes, please describe.  If not, how
do you meet the prerequisite?


Are you currently working toward a degree in a degree program?  If so,
at what institution, which program, and what degree?


Concurrently with taking this class, are you working full time?  Part time?


Are you taking any other classes concurrently with this one?


Do you have experience implementing many different data structures
from scratch?  If yes, please describe.  If not, how do you meet the
prerequisite?


Do you have experience using Posix/Linux/Unix?  Are you familiar with
Posix/Linux/Unix shell commands?  Do you have experience programming
using Posix/Linux/Unix system calls?  If yes, please describe.

programmer?


Have you already ordered and/or received the NXP/Freescale K70
development module TWR-K70F120M or the TWR-K70F120M-KIT kit (which
includes TWR-K70F120M, TWR-SER, TWR-ELEV)?


What additional appropriate course or work experience do you have?


What is your math background?


What computer languages do you know (please include assembler and
high-level languages)?  Have you programmed in the C Programming
Language, C++, or Java?


What operating systems have you used (e.g. Windows, Mac OS, Linux,

operating systems?  And, if so, with which operating systems?


What computers (including microcontrollers) (e.g. x86, MIPS, ARM,
PowerPC, M1, M2, RISC-V, SPARC, VAX, Microchip PIC, Intel 8051,
Renesas, Motorola 6800 or 68000) have you programmed in assembly
language (i.e., which machine code instruction sets)?
