Laptop Policies

LectureStudies show most students with laptops open in front

of them are NOT paying attention to the lecture IF you insist on using a laptop in lecture, you MUST sit

in the very BACK row of the classroom, so that you distract only yourself and not other students

Write your NAMEWrite the DATE

AND...

GOALS - write them down

1. What are your goals for this class? That is, what do you want to learn?

2. How much time do you expect to spend on this class OUTSIDE of lecture and lab time?

Goals Activity - continued

SHARE your list with a neighbor and ADD to it if you like

COMPARE your list with the one from the syllabus

Turn in your sheet at the end of class

The student will be able to

Design and implement well-written programs in C++ to solve problems, using the principles of structured programming

Use simple data structures: strings and arraysImplement some sorting and searching

algorithmsUse objects of predefined class types:

filestreams, stringsIdentify and discuss professional responsibilities

and ethical concerns of programmers

Experience in Programming

This class assumes NO experience in programming

It does assume some experience with computers and Windows copying files, printingnavigating pathszipping files together

If you HAVE a lot of programming experience, have you considered the BYPASS exam?

Your Grade is Based on:

Quizzes & Lecture Attendance 10% Lab Assignments 10% Programming Assignments 35% Two Exams during the semester     20%Two Lab Tests 5% each Final Exam (Comprehensive) 15%

Do NOT "work together" on a program

Cheating, cont'd

Do NOT show your source code to any other student - Protect your source code!
