| Course Description: | This course covers the more advanced aspects of object-oriented programming and the C++ programming language. You will design, create, run, and debug applications. Key topics include classes, objects, overloaded functions, overloaded operators, streams, dynamic memory allocation, and the Standard Template Library. It is very much a hands-on course. That is, you will have programming assignments that are due throughout the term. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Assignments: | It is important for you to complete the assignments in a timely manner. Assignments are due by midnight (EDT/EST) on the date indicated in the class calendar. The calendar will be part of the syllabus given to you at the first class meeting if you take this course on campus. The calendar will be online if you take this course via the Internet. The maximum score attainable will be reduced by 10% for each day the assignment is late up to a maximum of one week. Assignments handed in more than 1 week late will receive a score of zero points. For example, assume an assignment is due on 1/15 at midnight. Below is the penalty schedule. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| You may not turn in the same assignment more than once. If an assignment has multiple
parts (for example parts A and B), you must turn in all parts at the same time.
You cannot turn in one part one week and the other part another week. Graded assignments will be returned to you via email within one week of my receiving them or within one week of the due date whichever is later. Your grade for the assignment will be included in the returned project. Grades are posted to a grade book available to you. You should regularly check this grade book to monitor your progress and class standing. The grade book is accessible from a link on the class home page. |

| Exams: | Midterm and final exams are conducted via the Internet. There is no component of the exams that require you to be on campus. The midterm exam will be made available at the beginning of the week indicated in the course syllabus. It must be completed by midnight on the last day of the week indicated. Midterm exams received after that point will receive a grade of zero. The final exam will be made available at the beginning of the week indicated
in the course syllabus. It must be completed by midnight on the last day of the
week indicated. Final exams received after that point will receive a grade of
zero. Only under emergency situations will you be able to
make up a missed exam without prior approval. I will require written
documentation to support your request. |

| Questions: | Your willingness to ask questions will be one of the biggest factors in your success in this class. Check the class bulletin board first to make sure your question has not already been asked and answered. If it has not, post your question to the bulletin board. I monitor the bulletin board throughout the day on Monday through Friday. (Monday through Thursday in the summer term.) Other students may also answer your question. You can post questions on the bulletin board anonymously. Feel free to email me directly if you have a question and you are uneasy about asking that question on the bulletin board. I check the class email several times a day Monday through Friday. (Monday through Thursday in the summer term.) Plan your work so that questions can be handled during these time periods. You may also make an appointment to meet with me in person if necessary. You may also call me with questions. You should feel free to ask questions during class if you are taking this course on campus. In addition to the above resources, I'm usually available directly before class for questions. |

| Withdrawals: | You may withdraw from class by visiting the registration office at any Seminole State campus. The deadline to withdraw is usually the point when 60% of the class has been completed. You can find the exact deadline by viewing the academic calendar at the Seminole State home page. You will be assigned a letter grade (A, B, C, D, or F) if you have not withdrawn by that date. Students who fail to withdraw will be graded with zeroes for the incomplete assignments and exams and the earned grade will be assigned (usually an F). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Top | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Academic Integrity: | I expect all your work in class to be your
individual and original work. Do not work with others on your assignments. Do not give a copy of your assignment or any part of your
assignment to another student. If you do, all people involved will be given a
zero on that assignment with no means to make up the grade. Obtain my
approval first if you think you need to "borrow" code, ideas, or text from
a book, the internet, a coworker, or anyone else. A second instance of cheating will result in a failing grade for the course for all those involved. You should also review the policy on academic integrity in the student handbook. |

| Class Schedule: | Please complete the class check in process prior to the end of the first week of classes. This is the add/drop deadline. You should also read the class welcome letter. Below is the class schedule. You may work at a faster pace than the schedule below describes. I suggest you follow the class schedule in sequence. Do not fall behind. The topics for bulletin board discussion will be those listed below during the weeks indicated. The assignments are due by midnight on the last day of the week indicated.
