Description:

This course will cover advanced programming topics using C++. Files, recursion, data structures and large program organization will be implemented in projects using object-oriented methodology. Students will write programs using the concepts covered in the lecture. 3 hrs. lecture, 2 hrs. lab/wk. Four-credit-hour CS courses have two hours of open lab per week.

Supplies: Refer to the instructor’s course syllabus for details about any supplies that may be required.

Methods of Evaluation of Competencies:

Evaluation of student mastery of course competencies will be accomplished using the following methods:

A minimum of 5 Projects 50%
A minimum of 3 Exams    50%
   Total               100%

Grading Criteria:

A  =  90 - 100%
B  =  80 -  89%
C  =  70 -  79%
D  =  60 -  69%
F  =   0 -  59%
