   * CIS*2430: Even though the bulk of assignment programming is in (procedural) C, the GUI toolkit is object-oriented, and Python can be used in OO fashion.
   * CIS*2520: A great deal of data manipulation is done using C strings, arrays, arrays of arrays, structs, arrays of structs, structs with array elements, and pointers.
-  * Ability to plan and schedule your work: The assignments are intentionally too large and complex to be successfully completed at the last minute. The main reason students fail this course is because they don't take the several learning curves and the programming effort seriously, and wait till too late to start the assignments, or they don't keep doing sufficient incremental work. Because the assignments build up in layers, it is hard to recover from getting a late start on A1.
