ABSTRACT
Most often curricula are defined in university catalogs according to course prerequisite structures. Formal linkages between individual courses are typically first-order relationships based on prerequisite knowledge or discipline maturity. This paper describes a second-order, collaborative relationship that was established between two computer science courses that has greatly benefitted the students of both classes and has added another dimension to a combined computer and information sciences curricula.
