Yeah... I didn't bother with 202 b/c I changed my major. I took 201 for fun. ("Fun" she says).
But I am, I think, at a better point in my life to learn stuff. I used to be "this isn't interesting to me, I don't want to learn it". Now I've become more of the "I need to learn this to keep my job".
202 was taught in C++ and it focused on how to use C++ to do rudimentary object-oriented design, as well as tree structures and sorting algorithms (basic stuff expanded on in later courses). It wasn't on the level of software engineering, but it was enough to get started on class encapsulation and inheritance.
It was valuable experience because Java pigeonholes programmers into using OO features. You've probably found this out already. Don't fight it, but do encapsulate your good meaty code and then build your top-level runtime classes (execution controllers and GUIs) to act like tool controls (with your other classes you made being the tools). You should do fine, and more because you're a smart person than because you fear being kicked to the curb. ;)

Then again, I seem to remember doing the hard parts of your homework (the Corel Make-it-Work expert™)

It's amazing what job security can do to a girl.
