For students who only need 1 semester it is the perfect class. However for systems engineers and others who need 2 semesters, it does a great disservice. There is a lot of dissension in the department about the differences in 1110 and 1112 and how it should be handled but there hasn’t been a consensus yet. By CS 2116 most of the differences have disappeared (ie. you can’t tell if majors took 1110 or 1112) however cs 2110 is a rough transition. CS 1112 also is geared towards typical minorities in CS which include women, so it’s a more enjoyable class than CS 1110 in that sense however the trade off is the rough 2110 transition. You don’t win either way basically.
