Saint Leo University COM207 Programming in C/C++ Course Description: The use of the C/C++ programming language for

information processing and problem solving. Students use algorithms and computer logic to translate data into information through structured design, coding, testing, and program debugging. Prerequisite: COM 202 or COM 203 Textbooks: Zak, D. (2011). An introduction to programming with C++. 6th ed. Boston, MA: Course Technology ISBN-10: 0-538-46652-9 ISBN-13: 978-0-538-46652-3. http://www.cengage.com/coursetechnology Materials: Students will need to install the Express Edition of C++ which is available as a free download from Microsofts webpage at: http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/. More expensive editions are also usable. Students will be responsible for keeping a large number of data files. They are strongly advised to acquire a USB storage device for their data. In addition, they will need paper and pencil/pen for notes. Course Objectives: The student will: 1. Write, test, and debug C/C++ Code using the MS C/C++ IDE. 2. Develop algorithms using the sequence, select, and repetition structures; document the structure of these algorithms using flow charts and pseudo code; and translate these algorithms into procedural blocks (procedures, functions) of C/C++ code. 3. Create and use variables and named constants of the appropriate data types, including integers, floating point numbers, text strings, and one & two dimensional arrays; also convert data between different types as needed to process input and produce output. 4. Write C/C++ code to perform logical, arithmetic, and string operations on data. 5. Write code to interact with the user and file system using traditional I/O streams, file input/output, and also the dot net I/O techniques. In addition, this code will validate input and echo input values back to the user to ensure proper interpretation and prevent use of invalid results. 6. VALUES OUTCOME: In this class we will study how to organize data and effectively communicate information. Hence we will learn how to take precautions while recording data and presenting it in a manner that prevents misunderstanding, practicing Saint Leo Universitys core value of Integrity. Integrity: The commitment of Saint Leo University to excellence demands that its members live its mission and deliver on its promise. The faculty, staff and students pledge to be honest, just and consistent in word and deed.

Grading: The following criteria will be used to determine a final grade in the course: Tests (Midterm & Final) 30% Lab & Assignments: 60% Weekly Discussion Questions: 10%

Grade/Score: A AB+ B BC+ C CD+ D F 94-100% 90-93 87-89 84-86 80-83 77-79 74-76 70-73 67-69 60-66 0-59

Tests & Quizzes: A midterm and final exam will be given and will cover the material presented since the last exam/test. The test given during finals week will NOT be a cumulative final. Make-up tests will be permitted only for excused absences, which would require written evidence. Assignments: Programming languages, just like human languages, must be learned by practice. Hence, this is a hands on, lab-intensive class. Students will be given specific graded assignments in each module throughout the course, all of which must be satisfactorily completed in order to complete the course. Computer assignments must be turned in electronically to the professor. All assignments and laboratory work for each chapter must be submitted according to the schedule. Late submission will result in the deduction of 10% off marks per day. No assignments will be accepted after three working days from the scheduled date and the student will be awarded zero marks for that part of the assignment. The assignment will be evaluated and the student notified of his grade, and the reasons for lost points. Discussion Questions: Discussion questions will be posted in each module. These represent an opportunity to interact with your classmates, and hopefully reinforce ideas, by allowing you to provide each other feedback. In each module you are expected to post your own reply to the question, and also respectfully comment on at least two (2) classmates posts. You will be given a grade for the discussion in each module. Out of 100 points, an individual post is worth 70, and each comment on anothers post is worth 10%. Late Policy: All work must be submitted on time. Exceptions must be documented and acceptance is at the discretion of the faculty member. Attendance Policy: Students are expected to view the course modules in the week they are offered, and to log on to the course often enough to remain abreast of any communications from the instructor. It is the students responsibility to be aware of what is happening in the class online. Disability Services: Saint Leo University is committed to a policy which provides an equal opportunity for full participation of all qualified individuals with disabilities in accordance with the ADA. Appropriate academic accommodations and services are coordinated through the Office of Disability Services. Students with disabilities who require accommodation should contact the office as soon as possible via email: ADAOffice@saintleo.edu or telephone: (352) 588-8464. For additional information, students may access the Policy and Procedure Manual through the Saint Leo website.

Academic Honesty: The Academic Honor code is published in its entirety in the Saint Leo University Catalog. The first paragraph is quoted below: As members of an academic community that places a high value on truth and the pursuit of knowledge, Saint Leo University students are expected to be honest in every phase of their academic life and present as their own work only that which is genuinely theirs. Unless otherwise specified by the professor, students must complete homework assignments by themselves (or if on a team assignment, with only their team members). If they receive outside assistance of any kind, they are expected to cite the source and indicate the extent of the assistance. Each student has the responsibility to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity and to refrain from cheating, plagiarism, or any other forms of academic dishonesty. Cannon Memorial Library Resources for Online Learning Courses: Cannon Memorial Library Librarians are available during reference hours to assist you.
