C / C++ PROGRAMMING
CIS054-101 (83031) Course Outline
Spring 2016 - February 1 to May 27

INSTRUCTOR: Dan McElroy    Dan.McElroy@sjcc.edu
HELP DESK: helpdesk@sjeccd.edu 1-408-270-6411 (Mon-Fri 7:00am to 5:30pm)

COURSE OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES: Students will study C, a general-purpose programming language, which features brevity of expression, modern control flow and data structures, and a rich set of operators. Students will also study C++, an object oriented programming language that is built using the C language as a base. Students will learn the importance of portability and efficiency through a variety of programming assignments. This course includes application programs and/or systems software.

TIME COMMITMENT: CIS054 C/C++ Programming is a 3-unit class. The definition of a college course indicates that 3 hours per week are expected for each unit of a regular semester course. This computes to 9 hours per week for a regular semester 3-unit course. A 3-hour lab per week should equate to 1-unit of credit. Two hours of homework for each hour of lecture also equates to 1-unit of credit. A full-time student taking 12 units should expect to spend 36 hours per week during a regular semester. The time commitment should be the same for an on-campus course and an online course.

You can complete the class assignments on your own schedule as long as you submit them by their due dates. Lab assignments receive a penalty if submitted late. Quizzes close on their due data and can not be submitted late. There are usually several assignments due every week. Missing or not completing assignments may prevent you from passing the class. If you have vacation plans, or your schedule is full with other important obligations, you may want to consider enrolling in the course at another time.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1. Analyze simple and complex programming problems and develop software solutions.
2. Create console-based programs using structured programming techniques including sequence, selection, and repetition.
3. Organize a solution to a large program by breaking the program into smaller parts.
4. Manipulate data using strings and single or multi-dimensional arrays.
5. Construct programs using object oriented programming (OOP) techniques.
6. Create programs that use sequential and random access files.

LAB ASSIGNMENTS: Some of the lab assignments will take longer than other labs. It is expected that each student will make use of the Open-Lab time to complete assignments as needed. Open-Lab hours are made available to students registered in CIS courses. Instructions will be given after the first week on how to use the open lab.

LAB REPORTS: Programs turned in must include screenshots of both the program and the results of testing the program. Programs will be graded on whether they work, quality of output, program readability and appearance, program construction and completeness of testing, and very importantly - documentation.

Each lab report must include:
1. Your name, class, platform (PC or Mac), date and an assignment ID # if provided
2. A written description of the lab project in English
3. A list of inputs, processing and outputs for each program
4. Test data values, expected results and actual results when the program runs
5. A discussion of what you did to make the program run and any problems you encountered
6. Screenshot(s) of the program execution
7. The listing of the program (code for the program)

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS AND ACCESS TO SJCC COMPUTER LABS: The C and C++ programming languages are used to develop programs on a variety of operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh, Linux and others. Students need access to a computer that has a C/C++ compiler and an editor or software development system such as Microsoft Visual Studio, Apple Macintosh Xcode, NetBeans, DevCpp, Eclipse, Code::Blocks, etc.

San Jose City College has many computer labs on campus. Many of the labs used by the CIS and CA departments have the software that you will need to complete the class assignments. Most of the other labs on campus will have Microsoft Office installed, but may not have a software programming development system installed. You need to be an SJCC registered student to use the computers in the Library. You may need to be registered for tutoring to use the LRC labs. Other labs serve different departments on campus. You may need to be registered in one of their classes to use their labs.

MOODLE: The class webpage on Moodle contains class notes, links to videos, PowerPoint slides, class announcements, the course syllabus, test dates, and other information for the course. All assignments must be submitted using Moodle. The assignments must have your name, student ID, and exercise name at the top of the document. Late assignments will be accepted with a penalty. Make sure you can login to your Moodle account the first day of class. If you are adding the class, your MyWeb enrollment will be reflected at the next Moodle update. Student course enrollment is updated on Moodle 3 times a day - 6-7AM, 12Noon-1PM and 5-6PM.

Your eight-character Moodle login ID is the same as for MyWeb and is built from the first two letters of your first name, the first two letters of your last name, and the last four digits of your SJCC student ID number. For example, if my name is Dan McElroy and my student ID is 1234567, my Moodle login would be damc4567.

The default password is changeme and must be changed the first time you login. Your password must contain at least six characters, at lease one lower-case character, at least one uppercase character and at least one number. Your password for Moodle can be different from the password on MyWeb.

Additional information can be viewed at http://www.sjeccd.edu/district-services/information-technology-services-support/help-desk

E-MAIL: All students are required to obtain an e-mail account in addition to their Moodle account. All correspondence through Moodle uses the e-mail address that you have listed with the Admissions and Records office. This includes any messages that I send to the class as well as scores for each assignment. It is important that you update your e-mail address if it changes. If you have any questions about the course or need assistance, please contact me in person or by telephone during office hours or by e-mail at any time. You can update your e-mail address by clicking the "CLICK HERE" message on the purple rectangle when you go to the MyWeb page at http://myweb.sjeccd.edu (NOTE the 'E' in sjeccd). If you have an e-mail filter for spam, etc., it is your responsibility to make sure that you are receiving the e-mails that I send you, either from my college address Dan.McElroy@sjcc.edu, or e-mails sent through Moodle.

Students at San Jose City College are also given a free .edu e-mail address @stu.sjcc.edu
For example, if my student ID was 1234567 and my MyWeb ID was damc4567, my e-mail address would be damc4567@stu.sjcc.edu

The initial password starts with Password (with a capital-P) followed by six digits for the month, day and year of your birth. Example: Password061475
You are not required to used this e-mail address, but you will need it if you want to download a free version of the Microsoft Visual Studio C++ software. You do NOT need to use this e-mail address to download the DevCpp C++ software development system.

ATTENDANCE AND DROPS: You are expected to participate in the class using Moodle each week. Once you have shown some commitment to the class by attending, participating in quizzes, labs, or homework, I assume that you wish to be in the class. It is your responsibility to drop the class if you do not wish to continue. However, you may be dropped by the instructor if it appears that you are not participating in the class by submitting regular course work. If you do not complete the course, and do not officially drop through the Admissions office and are not dropped by the instructor, you will receive a grade based on your completed work. If for any reason you are unable to complete the requirements for the course, you must officially withdraw by the deadline date at Admissions and Records, either in person or using https://myweb.sjeccd.edu.

Tuesday, February 16 is the last day to withdraw from a regular semester course WITHOUT receiving a "W" on your record. Any classes that you register for and withdraw after that date will show a "W" on your record.

Thursday, April 28 is the last day to drop a regular semester course and receive a "W" on your record. After that date students will receive a letter grade based on your submitted work for the semester.

An 'Incomplete' will be issued only for extenuating justifiable circumstances (medical, military, etc.) and only if the majority of the work in the course has already been completed. An 'Incomplete' will not be considered if the majority of the work has not been completed by the end of the course.

Students on financial aid should contact the Financial Aid Office to discuss any consequences of dropping a course for which the student has received financial aid.

GRADING:

DEFINITIONS     A=Distinguished B=Above Average C=Average D=Minimum Passing F=Failing Percent  A = 90%-100%  B = 80%-89.9%  C = 70%-79.9%  D = 60%-69.9%  F =  0%-59.9%

You can receive a 'C' in the class by taking the quizzes and the final, and completing at least one lab assignment each week.

NO-NAME and LATE PENALTIES: You must include your name, student ID or Moodle ID, exercise name and assignment ID (if provided) on all work you submit. Penalties will be applied AFTER the score for your assignment has been computed.

Quizzes and Lab Assignments must be completed by 11:55pm one week after the assignment is given. Due dates are listed on Moodle for each assignment. No late assignments will be accepted after May 27, the last day of the semester. A late penalty is deducted for each day or part there of for each day the assignment is late, up to 3 points late penalty. The late penalty is in addition to any other scores the assignment received.

Penalty	Cause
1-3 points	Late penalty - 1 point for each day or partial day a lab assignment is late. A maximum of 3 points will be deducted for late lab assignments.
1 point	No name on submitted assignment
1 point	No ID on the submitted assignment. Moodle or SJCC student ID is acceptable.
2 points	Missing INPUT / PROCESSING / OUTPUT (HIPO) chart, if part of the lab report
1-2 points	The Project Discussion is missing
2-4 points	Screen shot of executing program is missing, or does not match data entered in the report
2-4 points	The code you used to complete the project is missing or does not match the screen shots.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY PENALTIES: You are expected to download your own assignments and DO YOUR OWN WORK. I have several ways to help me determine if a student is submitting another person's work. I may not catch every instance of plagiarize work, but I can catch many. The penalties for Academic Dishonesty far exceed the penalties for submitting your work late. I strongly suggest that you do not share your work with other students, or share your disks or flash drives that contain your class work. Sometimes students have loaned their flash drive to another student and the second student accidentally submitted the wrong file. Other times the second student just copied the first student's work and changed the name. If it looks like work was copied, even if accidentally, the penalties will apply. Don't take the chance on messing up your grade.

Penalty	Cause
zero points on the assignment and your course grade will be lowered	All or some of your work was created by another student this semester, or a previous semester.
zero points on the assignment and your course grade will be lowered again.	Second offense.
an 'F' in the class	Third offense.
