How to Sleaze

 * Tutorials are critical to understanding, particular pointers.
 * Remeber that learning C and how C works is actually going to save you pain later on when you do units such as Computer Communications 200, Computer Graphics 200 and Operating Systems 200 which all have C programming assignments as a major piece of assessment. So working out how pointers, referencing, dereferencing, compiler errors and debugging, will actually save you time later on.
 * Dave likes to make ridiculous pointer setups for his tests/exam.
 * As with all Dave units (UCP, SE110, SE200 etc), (and Mike Robey Units for that matter) the mock tests/exams are identical to the real ones just minor question changes.
