Introduces the fundamentals of procedural programming and object-oriented programming. Topics include: data types, control structures, functions, arrays, I/O, pointers and dynamic memory allocation, and features of object-oriented programming. The mechanics of compiling, linking, running, debugging and testing within a particular programming environment are covered. Ethical issues and a historical perspective of programming within the context of computer science as a discipline are given. Each week lecture meets for 150 minutes and lab meets for 150 minutes. Prerequisite or Corequisite: MATH 1040 or 1050 or 1060 or 2310 or 2510. Units: 4 ACM/IEEE Body of Knowledge Topics (CS-PF1/CE-PRF1,2) Fundamental programming constructs and paradigms (CS-PF2/CE-PRF3) Algorithms and problem solving (CS-PF3/CE-PRF4) Data structures (Introduction: basic types, strings and arrays)(CS-SP1/CE-PRF0) History of computing Textbook Starting Out with C++: From Control Structures through Objects Author: Tony Gaddis Publisher: Pearson Edition: 9th ISBN-13: 978-0134498379 ISBN-10: 9780134498379 (8th edition is acceptable) Material Covered Chapter 1 Introduction to Computers and Programming Chapter 2 Introduction to C++ Chapter 3 Expressions and Interactivity Chapter 4 Making Decisions Chapter 5 Looping Chapter 6 Functions Chapter 7 Arrays Chapter 8 Searching and sorting arrays Chapter 9 Pointers Chapter 10 Characters and strings Chapter 11 Structured Data Chapter 13 Introduction to Classes Chapter 14 More About Classes Grading PolicyWeekly assignments 50% . labs . homework . quizzes . attendance Exams 25% Final exam 25% ------------------------ Total 100% Grading scale used during the semester...

Attendance Class attendance is both recommended and required. Missing a class period can cause a zero score for the following assignment types: - lab assignment - pop quiz - assignment given verbally - hands-on coding assignment - participation exercise - project presentation - others that may not be listed Attendance is taken before class begins. When the "bell rings", you should be in your seat and ready to go. Note: Current time is determined using an Andriod phone which runs about 15-seconds behind the official U.S. time presented on www.time.gov. Plan your time using time.gov and never be late. Attendance scoring: If you miss one class session, no big deal. The second class missed causes a deduction of 1/2 percent to your overall course grade. The count then starts again and every second class missed causes a 0.5% deduction in your grade. If you arrive late to class once, no penalty. The second late arrival causes a deduction of 1 percent to your overall course grade. The count then starts again and every second late arrival causes a 1.0% deduction in your grade. Labs Labs are hands-on assignments designed to be done in the classroom on classroom computers. You may install the necessary components on your own laptop computer, and bring it to class. - Attendance is required for any credit. - Full attendance is required for full credit. Full attendance is defined as coming to class on-time and working throughout the entire lab session. Lab assignments are due by the end of the lab period. Do not arrive late to class and then ask another student to help you with the assignment. This can result in a quick score of zero. Homework Homework assignments and due dates will be posted on the course website. It is common for a lab assignment to be extended into a homework assignment. Missing a lab session can cause a student to fail both the lab and homework for that week. Homework assignments will be posted on the course website. Homeworks usually consist of writing several programs. Full credit requires the following: - Program must have the correct file name. - Programs must compile with no warnings or errors. - Program must run. - Your name must be found in a comment at the top of the program file. - Coding style must follow standards set in class lectures. - Program functionality requirements must be met. - Other details specific to the assignment. Late homework will not be accepted. Sharing of assignment files is not allowed. If you miss a class session, do not ask for or accept the completed or partially-completed assignment files of another student. This will result in a score of zero for all students involved. Instead, ask your instructor how to get caught-up with the class. Quizzes A quiz is a short exam that covers current material from reading, lecture, lab, homework, and project material. Quizzes can be online or written. A quiz can be given at any time during any class session. This is sometimes referred to as a pop-quiz. Exams Exams will be announced in advance. Midterm exams will be given at approximately weeks 7 and 12. A midterm exam can consist of the following: - written exam - hands-on programming exam A final exam will be scheduled during the designated time block for the semester. The exact date/time will be posted. All exams require on-time attendance. Late Assignment Policy Assignments submitted late are not accepted and receive a score of zero. Time Conflicts Time conflicts are not allowed. Your own personal schedule must allow you to arrive on-time to class, and stay for the entire class period. If you have a time conflict, you should disclose it to the instructor on the first day of class. CMPS-2010 is a hands-on course taught in-person in the classroom by your instructor. This course is in no way an on-line course. In-class assignments are not to be done at some remote location. Accommodations Students requiring accommodations should speak with the instructor at the start of the course. To make arrangements for accomodations, please contact SSD at the following link: SSD Classroom Behavior - On 9/1/2017 CSUB became a smoke-free and tobacco-free campus.
