The class was CSCI261. It used this curriculum: http://www.zybooks.com/catalog/programming-in-c-plus-plus/ http://www.zybooks.com/catalog/programming-in-c-plus-plus/ It was mainly an elective for non-CS majors, so there was a lot of people with no experience and no future in programming. I think it spent way too much time on syntax and minutiae to be a really good introduction. It spent a really brief time talking about compiled instructions, stacks, etc. but not really enough to justify C++, imo. It shoved pointers into a couple days at the end of the semester. A lot of final questions were things like std::string member functions or construct syntax (for, switch).
