I studied Computer Science at USC and was a student in 2 of Professor Redekopp's classes. Suffice to say that he was a top notch educator and the favorite professor of most students in the Engineering school.

At USC, at least while I was there, 101 and 102 (the class from which these slides are linked) were taught in C++. The Algorithms class used prolog, and the majority of the remaining core CS classes were in Java. All in all, I'm very grateful for the diverse foundation we were provided, it has helped me immensely in my career as a developer.
