Rationale for Prerequisite, Corequisite, Recommended Preparation___The curricula of the lecture and lab portions are interwoven.
Students require the continual reinforcement within the lab section of knowledge gained in the lecture section. The lecture and lab are
separate courses only because of scheduling necessities._______________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
CIS 11 and 12 provide fundamentals in problem solving and computer design that prepare students for programming. While student can
still succeed in CIS 16L without this preparation, students who take these courses are better prepared for programming courses than
those who do not.

III. OUTCOMES AND ASSESSMENTS
1. COURSE OUTCOMES/OBJECTIVES:
List the primary instructional objectives of the class. Formulate some of them in terms of specific measurable student accomplishments,
e.g., specific knowledge and/or skills to be attained as a result of completing this course. For degree-applicable courses, include
objectives in the area of "critical thinking." Upon successful completion of this course, the students will be able to:
Apply problem solving tools and skills to design software algorithms.
Create executable code using C++ objects and classes.
Use an integrated programming environment to code, test, and debug C++ code.
2. COLLEGE LEVEL CRITICAL THINKING TASKS/ASSIGNMENTS:
Degree applicable courses must include critical thinking tasks/assignments. This section need not be completed for non-credit courses.
Describe how the course requires students to independently analyze, synthesize, explain, assess, anticipate and/or define problems,
formulate and assess solutions, apply principles to new situations, etc.
Students will analyze a problem, formulate a solution and code the solution using C++ and an integrated programming environment.
Once coded students will thoroughly test their implementation for accuracy.
3. ASSESSMENT
Degree applicable courses must have a minimum of one response in category A, B, or C. If category A is not checked, the department
must explain why substantial writing assignments are an inappropriate basis for at least part of the grade.
A. This course requires a minimum of two substantial (500 words each) written assignments which demonstrate standard English usage
(grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary) and proper paragraph and essay development. In grading these assignments, instructors shall
use, whenever possible, the English Department’s rubric for grading the ENGL 150 exit essay. Substantial writing assignments,
including:
__ essay exam(s)
__ term or other paper(s)
___ laboratory report(s)
__ written homework
__ reading report(s)
__ other (specify) ________________________________
If the course is degree applicable, substantial writing assignments in this course are inappropriate because:
_ The course is primarily computational in nature.
_X The course primarily involves skill demonstrations or problem solving.
__ Other rationale (explain) __________________________________
B. Computational or Non-computational problem-solving demonstrations, including:
_X_ exam(s)
_X_ quizzes
_X_ homework problems
__ laboratory report(s)
__ field work
__ other (specify) _________________________________________
C.
Skill demonstrations, including:
__ class performance(s)
__ field work
__ performance exam(s)
_X other (specify) _Assignments that require the student to create working code.
D. Objective examinations, including:
_X_ multiple choice
__ true/false
__ matching items
_X_ completion
_X other (specify) _____code evaluation and creation
E.
Other (specify) _________________________________
NOTE: A course grade may not be based solely on attendance.

Request for Exception Attached.
REQUIRED READING, WRITING, AND OTHER OUTSIDE OF CLASS ASSIGNMENTS:
Over an 18-week presentation of the course, 3 hours per week are required for each unit of credit. ALL Degree Applicable Credit classes
must treat subject matter with a scope and intensity which require the student to study outside of class. Two hours of independent work done
out of class are required for each hour of lecture. Lab and activity classes must also require some outside of class work. Outside of the
regular class time the students in this class do the following:
__X__ Study
__X__ Answer questions
____ Skill practice
__X__ Required reading
__X__ Problem solving activity or exercise
____ Written work (essays/compositions/report/analysis/research)
_____ Journal (reaction and evaluation of class, done on a continuing basis throughout the semester)
_____ Observation of or participation in an activity related to course content (e.g., play, museum, concert, debate, meeting, etc.)
