Programming 3 Thurs West Mod 7 129 W001 6:00p 8:45p

Prerequisite: COP 2220. Access to a PC and a C++ compiler, preferably Visual C++, outside of class time for the course project. Visual C++ is available on Both W002 and W003 Campus Labs (Lab fee).

Core Competencies: Valencia faculty have defined four interrelated competencies (Value, Think, Communicate, Act) that prepare students to succeed in the world community. These competencies are outlined in the College Catalog. In this course, through classroom lecture and discussion, group work, and other learning activities, you will further develop your mastery of these core competencies.
Course Catalog Description
COP2224
C++ Programming
Prerequisite: COP2220. COP2224 is an introduction to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) using the C++ programming language. Covers class hierarchies, and single, repeated and multiple inheritance. Focuses on abstraction and information hiding. Covers in detail polymorphism and dynamic binding.

Course Details
This course is designed as an entry level course to the language of C++. This student will learn how to program in C++ through lectures which enhance the reading material, in class programming exercises and homework. Object Oriented Design (OOD) will be used to for developing programming projects. The student will learn how to create Object Oriented (OO) programs to industry coding standards. Topics covered will include: programming by specification, creating real world objects, designing with object, creating OO diagrams, the C++ language, object inheritance, object polymorphism and program construction. Microsoft Visual C++ will be used in class to illustrate programming topics. The World Wide Web will be used to provide students with source code and class resources.

Microsoft Visual C++ Version 6.0
The C++ language is independent of a specific operating system. The student can equally excel in either the UNIX or the Windows/DOS environment. In class, the student will use Visual C++ on Windows 95. The student is expected to have a fundamental knowledge of Visual C++ and Windows 95 from the prerequisite courses. The course will focus on the C++ language and how to program in C++. The course will touch very lightly on creating graphical interfaces, but the potential student should be aware that this course will not cover graphics algorithms, MFCs or the internals of the Windows operating system.

This course will cover:

a. Object Oriented Design Techniques.
b. Structured programming using specifications and implementation.
c. Object class construction will varying levels of encapsulation.
d. Object relationships with single and multiple inheritance
e. Code reuse through class libraries and generic templates.
f. Code readability through function overloading.
g. Basic I/O with streams.
h. Application design, deployment and maintenance.

Course Objective

The objective of this course is to provide the student with the fundamental knowledge and skills to become a proficient C++ programmer. The student will learn to transpose the physical problem domain into a hierarchy of objects. Industry standard software engineering techniques will be presented and used to architect the system design.

Objects, their behaviors, and their relationships, will be modeled and these models will be programmed into a functional application that the student will compile, modify, enhance and run. The student will program in a structured style whereby reinforcing the concepts of software quality, reliability and maintainability.
Evaluation Process

Each student will be expected to perform out of class assignments and programming projects.   Quizzes and examinations will cover the concepts, syntax and theory used in the course.

Homework will be evaluated as an aid to the student's progress in the course. The course grade will be determined by the quiz, exam and project grades.

Grading Method:

Reading/Quiz 25 %
Homework    25 %   ( Assigned Problems & Project )
Midterm        25 %   ( Chapters 1-6 )
Final Exam    25 %   ( Chapters 1-14)

A     90 to 100 %
B     80 to 89 %
C     70 to 79 %
D     60 to 69 %
F      < 59 %

Failure to sit for the Final exam will yield a WF per school policy.
Changing from grade to audit must occur before the withdraw deadline

Withdrawal Policy and Important Dates

A student may withdraw at any time before 11/5/2004 for filing a withdrawal form in the Admissions Office in Building I and receive a W for a grade. After this date, if a student withdraws or is withdrawn by the professor for excessive absence or other reasons, the professor will assign a withdrawal of WP (Withdrawal Passing) or WF (Withdrawal Failing), based upon the student's academic achievement in the class as of the last date of attendance. A W or WP will not be calculated in the grade point average. If a student fails to take the required final examination, the professor will assign a WF.

Classroom Policies
Valencia's attendance policy is that a student will be present for all class meetings. After two absences (one in a night class), a student will receive an excessive absence notice and must schedule a conference with the instructor immediately. After two absences (one in a night class), a student may be withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the instructor. Continual tardiness will be viewed as absences and treated as such.

A student is responsible for all material covered during absences. Make-ups for scheduled tests must be requested before the test date and are subject to approval of the instructor. Unscheduled tests cannot be made up.

There will be no eating or drinking in the classroom. Class begins at a scheduled time and is over when the instructor dismisses class. Leaving early without prior permission will result in a class-work grade of zero. Tardiness is unacceptable class behavior. If you are tardy and class has begun, take a seat near the door and do not disrupt class by crossing the room.

Students must do their own work; there are no exceptions. Students who plagiarize or cheat in any way risk dismissal from class and expulsion from the college.

Disclaimer: The content of this syllabus or course may change at any time at the instructor's discretion.
Homework

All homework shall consist of PRINTED source code and program output.
Homework will be graded on correctness in style and content.

All homework is due the following week, unless otherwise specified

All homework questions are to be hand written or printed.

All homework code assignments are to be printed with output
