1 CoSci 440 SYLLABUS Programming in C++ INSTRUCTOR Mari Rettke cell SECTION : and Course Description Covers C++ language and object-oriented programming paradigm. Fundamental programming topics include control structures, functions, arrays, pointers, strings, input and output, recursion, and file processing. Object-oriented programming and advanced topics include classes, operator overloading, inheritance, virtual functions, polymorphism, templates, and exception handling. Introduces data structures such as stacks, queues, and trees in C++ object oriented programming Student Learning Outcomes: Students will at the completion of the course be able to: Be able to design, write, debug, and run a C++ program using classes and objects, non-static data members, static data members, not-static member functions and static member functions, constructors and destructors. Be able to design, write, debug, and run a C++ program using data hiding with access specifiers, inheritance, virtual functions, polymorphism, virtual functions, dynamic memory allocation, exceptions, and templates. ATTENDANCE: The class meets Tuesday AND Thursday morning from 10:35am to 12:30pm. If you are absent, you will miss lecture materials and assignments. If you are absent, you need to make arrangements with a fellow classmate for the lecture notes and assignments. Please call in if you are going to miss class. Attendance at the lab is important.. DETERMINATION OF GRADE 1. Assignments, Exercises, and Quizzes: (25%) Short programming assignments will be given each week.. Assignments must be turned on time. Quizzes will be written and will consist of True/False questions, debugging exercises, and code fragments 2. Tests: (40%) Test #1 5% Test #2 15% Test #3 20% Tests must be turned in on time. Tests will not be accepted unless all previous assignments have been turned in. A basic maximum number of points will be given for each test. In order to earn more points, some additional work needs to be done. Each test will show the basic maximum points plus what must be done to earn additional points. Late tests will result in a grade reduction of 5 points per week. 3. Final Exam/Project (program: (35%) 4. Grading scale A = , B = 80-89, C = 70-79, D= 60-69, F below 60

2 Office Hours: Office Hours in the CSIT Lab: Monday 3:30pm 5:30pm Tues/Thurs 10:00am - 10:30am and 3;30pm 5:00pm Saturday 12:30 2:30pm or by appointment call or or by samusher@aol.com (preferred I will respond within 24 hours) Students in this class are encouraged to work in groups. However, the individual work of each student must reflect significant differences from another students work. If your work is the same as another students work, then your grade will be shared. If you are using outside resources to complete your assignments, be aware that you will have to demonstrate understanding of the material you are presenting. Collaboration Policy Students are responsible for completing and submitting their own assignments. Students may work together, but all students are expected to complete and submit their own assignments. Students who submit duplicate files (regardless of who completed the work) will receive no credit. Copying another student s files and editing the files with your name is unacceptable. The content and properties of submitted work are checked regularly during the grading process. Files that are copied and edited will receive no credit (regardless of who completed the work). Each student should begin and complete his/her own assignment. MATERIALS: Text C ++ Primer Plus 6 th edition Steven Prata SAMS ISBN (If you have difficulty obtaining a book please see me after the first or second class.) We will be using Visual Studio 2010 or 2012 Express (C++). This program can be downloaded FREE from the Microsoft site. All students are automatically registered in the Microsoft Academic Alliance also called Imagine. You will be receiving an with your user name and password. If you use another version of Visual Studio or if you work on a MAC, then you will need to copy your code into a text file and paste ii into Visual Studio Express to turn in your work. If you have any questions regarding a lab assignment or a test, you are encouraged to come in and see me for help. You can also send me a text copy of the problem code via . Questions must be directed to samusher@aol.com. This is my home . If you send questions to my school , it may take several days to get an answer. There are many great resources on-line for help with programming languages. However, some of these sites may use topics that have not been introduced in class at that particular time. If you use these techniques, it suggests to me that you used on-line code/code gurus to write the program. Be prepared to explain your code to me in the lab.

May 29 th June 4 th OUR SCHEDULED FINAL EXAM Tuesday May 29 th 6:00pm to 8:00pm REMINDER: There is a new LACCD enrollment limit. The limit is now three times to take a class and includes both substandard grades and withdrawals. If you stop attending a class (or wish to drop a class), YOU MUST DROP THE CLASS YOURSELF OFFICIALLY on or before November 20, 2016(by Internet only). Failure to do so may result in a grade of F in that class. This class is ADA compliant. Please let your instructor know if you need any assistive devices. Accommodation for DSPSS Students requesting academic accommodations should use the following procedure: Step 1: Obtain documentation of your disability from a licensed professional. You may contact DSPS to request a Disability Verification Form. Step 2: Make an appointment to meet with a DSPS Specialist to review your documentation and discuss reasonable accommodations. To schedule a meeting, please call DSPS at (818) Step 3: Bring your disability documentation to your DSPS appointment. The DSPS office is located in room 1018 of the Instructional Building. Step 4: Each semester, reach written accommodation agreement with the DSPS Specialist and your instructor.

5 To be most effective, students should complete this process by the end of the 3 rd week of the semester. Tests with required accommodations must be taken at the DSPS office. Reasonable Accommodations It is the policy of the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD) and Los Angeles Mission College to accommodate students with disabilities, pursuant to federal law, state law and Los Angeles Mission College s commitment to equal educational access. The Disabled Students Programs and Services (DSP&S) office can assist you with any special accommodations you may require for this course. The DSPS office may be reached by phone (818) or TDD (818) , or via their web site at Visit the DSPS office web site for office hours. The DSPS office provides special assistance with areas such as registering for courses, specialized tutoring, note-taking, mobility assistance, special instruction, testing assistance, special equipment, and special materials. Attendance/Exclusion Policy/LACCD Enrollment Limit This class meets Tuesday AND Thursday morning from 10:35am to 12:30pm. Active participation is expected in this course. Students themselves are responsible for dropping a class they no longer attend. If you stop attending a class (or wish to drop a class), YOU MUST DROP THE CLASS YOURSELF OFFICIALLY on or before November 20, 2016 (via Internet only). Failure to do so may result in a grade of F in that class. There is a new state policy in effect since 2012 that limits students to three attempts per course. The new three attempt limit considers grades and withdrawals ( W ). Three attempts would include any of the following combinations: W, D, F, NC, or NP. Students will not be allowed to register for any course within the LACCD if there are three recorded attempts for that same course.
