Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will have gained an increased understanding of problem solving techniques in software systems. Students will be introduced to recommended methods of program design, development, and implementation. Methods of decomposition, abstraction, and problem solving techniques will be presented. Students will be provided with a working knowledge of Object-Oriented Design and Programming.. The role of experimentation in Computer Science will also be discussed. This course is based on the C++ language. A basic working knowledge of the Department of Computer Science's UNIX system will also be given.
Attendance: Although this is a web based course which can be taken "at your own pace", you are nonetheless expected to make regular and steady progress towards its completion. Unless prior arrangements have be arranged with the instructor, you are expected to meet all deadlines listed in your syllabus. You are expected to frequently monitor this site and your e-mail for information about this course. As indicated in the course contract, you are expected to "meet" with the instructor on a regular basis throughout the semester.
Cheating: Everything turned in for grading in this course must be your own work. The instructor reserves the right to to question a student orally or in writing and to use his evaluation of the student's understanding of the assignment and of the submitted solution as evidence of cheating. Violations will be reported to the Honor Council for consideration for punitive action. However, it is entirely appropriate seek and give assistance on procedural matters (such as how to send e-mail, how to run the debugger, how to send files from a home PC to a UNIX workstations). If there is any question on whether a particular behavior is appropriate, the student is encouraged to seek guidance from the instructor.
