Bumping this thread because I am working my way through Architecture and Discreet Math. I am doing IT instead of CS at TESU because I don't want to do the liberal arts capstone. I have finished everything but Architecture and I am currently enrolled in the APS capstone. I am about 50% of the way through the quizzes. I hope the help here is enough for the project. It does look like a doozy.
I wanted to mention I think the grading (knock on wood) has improved since the comments in this thread. I received high marks on both my C++ and Algorithms assignments and it was clear the graders knew their stuff and understood my programs.
I also took Java and the programming course difficulties are all over the map. My coding experience is mostly in old school C (mid 90s) so working with C++ and Java wasn't too hard (although I'm new to OO). I threw the Java code together in about an hour and got an 80 or so. The C++ took quite a bit longer (mostly because I had to figure out how to use the vector class and had to rewrite several sections as I ran into limitations of my design (maybe because I just started coding instead of doing any design!)). The algorithms level of difficulty seemed to be in between the Java and C++ assignments. I probably didn't need to spend as much time as I did but I received a 97 on Algorithms and 100 on C++.
