Pre-req Math 113/115 and CIS 123/125 or equivalent. An introduction to structured computer programming, covering problem formulation, algorithm development, the C++ programming language, program testing and debugging, and capabilities and elements of computer organization. (F,W,S) Course Goals To provide a foundation for further studies in computer and information science with emphasis on a disciplined approach to problem solving and algorithm development. Students learn principles of structured program design, coding , debugging, testing and documentation. Students are introduced to the C++ programming language and the fundamentals of computer hardware and system software.

Outside Projects 20 30% Final Exam 200 30% Grading on Individual assignments will be 90%-100% A,80-89% B, etc. Students who receive less than 50% of the final exam will automatically fail the class. Late Projects & Labs Late is defined to be 5 minutes after the start of class. In this course new material will be presented daily. Students who turn in late programs are penalizing themselves by not concentrating on the current material under discussion. I therefore suggest students turn in programs on the due date or at the latest at the next class period. To encourage this behavior, late programs are penalized 10%, 25%, 50% and 100% on the next 4 class days. Anything turned in may receive more points than nothing. Late programs should NOT be slid under my door. Late work should be time stamped by the CIS office 114 ELB and put in my mail box. Labs will be turned turned in the following lab period. Again the 5 minute rule holds.
Plagiarism Although students are encouraged to help their classmates, students sharing code are guilty of plagiarism. If programs are consid...
