18. Course Description:
This course presents the fundamental concepts of programming using C++. It covers the basic
structures of the programming tools such as variable names; data types; control structures; arrays;
functions; and an introduction to file processing.
19. Course aims and outcomes:
A- Aims:
The main goal of this course is to provide basic concepts of the C++
programming language, memory allocation concepts, operators and data types,
I/O predefined functions, control structures, user defined functions and arrays.
B- Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs): Upon successful completion of this course
students will be able to …
A Knowledge and understanding: Students should
A1. Understand the basic concepts of the C++ programming language.
A2. Understand memory location concepts, operators, and data types.
A3. Understand the basic problem solving techniques using control structures; functions; and arrays.
B Intellectual skills: with the ability to
B1. Compare between the different control structures
B2. Compare and contrast the basic methods of parameter passing in C++: namely passing parameters
by value vs. passing parameters by reference.
B3. Compare between void functions and value-returning functions
B4. Compare between one and two-dimensional arrays
C Subject specific skills: with ability to
C1. Analyze a problem and design an algorithm to solve it.
C2. Develop algorithms using selection statements; repetition statements; functions; and Strings.
D Transferable skills: with ability to
D1. Work in groups to help understand and analyze a given problem.
D2. Work in a group to implement an algorithm using C++
D3. Demonstrate the developed C++ program

21. Teaching Methods and Assignments:
Development of ILOs is promoted through the following teaching and learning
methods:
Class Contact is 3 Hours per week. The Course will be delivered using different
means like lecture, presentations, seminars, discussion and case studies.
St Students attend classes, ask questions and participate in discussions, do the home works, present the
assignment
s and demo their works. A student will use the lab and implement the assignments using C++ programming
language. Students will access the e-learning platform for more instruction and supported learning
materials.
22. Evaluation Methods and Course Requirements:
There will be several assessment methods of evaluation the performance of the
students such as attending and class participation, grading the homework, quizzes
and assignments; conducting the First, Second and the Final Exams. Every
student is expected to completely adhere to the assignments and project strict
deadlines, absolutely no exceptions will be given.
23. Course Policies:
A- Attendance policies:
Maximum allowable absence 15% of number of lectures per semester.
B- Absences from exams and handing in assignments on time:
Students are expected are expected to completely adhere to the assignments strict deadlines,
absolutely no exceptions are given.
It’s student’s responsibility to inform his instructor about his absence from any exam during period
not exceeding 3 days.
C- Honesty policy regarding cheating, plagiarism, misbehavior:
Students’ cheating, plagiarism and misbehavior will be transformed to special committee.
D- Grading policy:
