Objective
The objective of this course is for the student to expand their understanding of and experience with the C++ programming language. Specifically, the course emphasizes object-oriented characteristics (abstraction, encapsulation, modularity, object hierarchy) and their associated language features (type extensibility and polymorphism, class definitions and implementation, functions, and inheritance) which make C++ an object-oriented programming language. By the end of the course, students should be able to apply problem decomposition methods, object-oriented design, and structured programming principles to develop C++ programs for solving a variety of problems. Attention will also be given to producing programs which are stylistically sound, efficient, understandable, and maintainable.
Policies
 |
Attendance: You are expected to attend class. Department policy permits me to lower your grade one letter for each set of three unexcused absenses. In the event of an unexcused absence from a class period during which a quiz or exam was given, the student will receive a zero for that grade. In order for an absence to be excused, it must be reported to me by email (or some other means) in advance. |
|
Appointments: Office hours are posted on this web site. Additionally, you may schedule an appointment with me during my free times. To schedule an appointment, please send me an email requesting a specific time to meet. Please keep appointments to less than 30 minutes, if possible. |
|
Collaboration: I encourage you to work together in study groups to accomplish your homework and programs for this class. However, all work that you turn in must be your own. You may not copy another's work. Student's found doing so will receive a zero on that assignment and risk failure in the class for a repeat offense. For more detail see the course collaboration policy. |
