CS 101 Introduction to programming
Spring (Second) 2016
Course Catalog
3 Credit hours (3 hrs lectures). This course introduces the student to object-oriented programming
through a study of the concepts of program specification and design, algorithm development, and
coding and testing using a modern software development environment. Students learn how to write
programs in an object-oriented high-level programming language. Topics covered include
fundamentals of algorithms, flowcharts, problem solving, programming concepts, classes and
methods, control structures, arrays, and strings. Throughout the semester, problem solving skills will
be stressed and applied to solving computing problems. Weekly laboratory experiments will provide
hands-on experience in topics covered in this course.
