I probably covered more on networking than algorithms. I only did 2 papers on algorithms at university, as well as AI, which covered some more algorithms.

I did 2 papers on networking, a paper on computer security, and a paper on web development, and implemented an http client for Operating Systems.

I had 2 classes of data structures + algorithms, a couple more of algorithms and complexity analysis, and algorithms were heavy components of the AI and robotics electives that I took. I had one networking class, also an elective. I had a similar programming language comparison class as the poster you responded to, along with OOP design and a course on software engineering practices.

There were some other math and logic-related courses with some proofs and such, but almost all of that was backed by writing software projects. I didn't write many papers in my computer science classes, but I did a lot of projects, both individually and in groups.

It's interesting to read how different other people's university experiences were.
