Thompson Rivers University, Open Learning (TRU-OL) is looking for a qualified content expert/curriculum developer to complete a major revision of COMP 2231: Data Structures and Algorithms .

 

Course Description:

Students are introduced to new types of data structures such as trees (including binary and multiway trees), heaps, stacks and queues.

TRU respects intellectual property laws and expects curriculum developers to accurately cite sources and identify material that may require copyright clearance. They will follow the guidance of the Instructional Designer on the inclusion of any AI-generated content.

 

TRU-OL uses a collaborative approach to course development that involves interactive planning meetings and review sessions as needed.
