Required & Supplemental Materials:
Title:
C++ Programming: Program Design Including Data Structures
Edition:
3rd (2007)
Author:
D.S. Malik
Publisher: Course Technology
ISBN:
ISBN: 978-1-4188-3640-5
Materials: “Removable” storage media for submittal to instructor, as needed
Students enrolled in this course may obtain a licensed copy of Microsoft Visual C++ and
Microsoft Visio at no charge, for use on their own computer. Visual C++ is a component of
Visual Studio (VS). MCC is currently using VS .NET 2005. See the following link for details on
using MSDNAA: http://sharepoint.mccneb.edu/msdnaa. This software is yours to keep. You may
also use any other ANSI/ISO-compliant C++ compiler.
Course Structure:
In each lecture during this course, the instructor will cover material the student needs to learn
and accomplish. In addition, written handouts may be provided from time to time. These will be
used to supplement the text material and expand the course.
Instruction will consist mainly of lecture material presented by the instructor. In some classes,
group discussion and demonstration may be used. In all meetings, discussion opportunities will
be provided and the student is encouraged to ask questions and clarify information as the
instructor is lecturing and/or presenting material.
COURSE ASSESSMENT
1. Types of Assessment/Assignments
a. Identify how students will be assessed (Quizzes/Exams/Papers/Projects/etc)
Student progress is measured against the course objectives listed earlier by means of
in-class participation, C++ computer programs, as well as periodic written and handson skills testing. Assignments will be C++ programs, for the student to work on either
at home or in one of the computer labs. Programs are vital to achieving the course
objectives. Students will write C++ programs based on material learned over the
chapters in the textbook. Please retain copies of your submitted work. Typical
program submittals must include:
 design/format/layout documentation for all program input and output,
 a hierarchy diagram and/or UML (where appropriate),
Metropolitan Community College

Template Rev. 7/24/06





flowcharts (or pseudo-code or IPO charts),
printed source code as successfully compiled and executed,
printed output from a successful test execution,
listings of all test input and output files, and,
on a 3.5” floppy diskette or other submittable storage medium:
o source files for all printed documentation,
o the program source code as successfully compiled and executed, and
o all data files needed for testing program execution.
Programming assignments will be evaluated on:
 the adequacy of program planning;
 correctness of coding generated;
 usage of comments to describe and clarify program logic, variable usage, and
input/output requirements;
 adequacy of program testing procedures; and
 adequacy of program documentation.
 Of course, the program should also run correctly.
Full points are awarded for the inclusion of the specified item(s), with points being
deducted for notable problems. A typical point assignment for these various aspects
of programming for a 40 point program is as follows:
Planning & external
Comments in source code:
documentation:
2 general description of program
1 input layout(s)
2 input/output requirements
1 output layout(s)
2 purpose & use of each variable
1 hierarchy diagram/UML
(variable table)
4 flowcharts/pseudocode/ 2 program logic (for each
IPOs
function/module)
Coding & implementation:
3 standard coding style & related issues
3 correct procedural logic/method
3 correct compile
16 correct run
--------40 total
The written exams may be a combination of fill-in the blanks, multiple choice,
true/false, and essay questions. The exams will test material presented in the reading
and other assignments, and during class meetings.
b. Identify other assignments (Required reading, homework, and etc)
The student will have specific assignments to read and master. These assignments are
indicated in the course schedule and/or outlined by the instructor. The student should
have read the material prior to the class meeting date.
c. State make-up and late assignment policies
LATE ASSIGNMENTS:
Assignments turned in late MAY lose 10% per week. Late assignments MAY not
be accepted after two weeks overdue. Please contact instructor regarding the
circumstances of any late work.
MAKE-UP TEST PROCEDURES:
Students MUST be present on the day of an announced test. If the instructor is
informed BEFORE the test concerning a valid absence, other arrangements MAY
be made. There will be no retakes of tests. Test dates are not firm and are
therefore subject to change.
d. Attach schedule of assessments/assignments (See below.)

b. State if papers/projects/tests/etc. will be returned and when
The programming assignments and exams will be returned in class one week after
they are turned in to the instructor. Grades will be reflected on the returned items.
Students may obtain their current cumulative grade from the instructor before or after
class. The exams will be reviewed in class but retained by the instructor.
c. Grade books (grade spreadsheets) should be kept by the instructor for a minimum of
one (1) year.
d. Student tests, papers, projects, etc., that were graded by faculty for determining the
final grade and were not returned to the student, should be kept for one (1) year.
STUDENT EXPECTATIONS
Required Expectations
1. Attendance Policy
The course will be covered partially by assigned portions of the text and may be
presented in a sequence different from the text and some material will be covered that is
not in the text. Therefore, attendance is necessary to understand the course material. Each
student is expected to recognize the importance of class attendance and promptness.
Chronic tardiness or lack of attendance will contribute to non-achievement of course
objectives. CHRONIC TARDINESS AND ABSENCES MAY RESULT IN A
REDUCTION IN THE FINAL GRADE BY 10%.
Excessive absences or unsatisfactory progress will subject the student to administrative
(instructor) withdrawal from the course. If a student should miss a class for any reason,
he/she is expected to cover the material he/she missed on his/her own. All work must be
made up to the satisfaction of the instructor.
2. Expected Classroom Behavior
Suggested Expectations
1. Class Participation (Yes!)
2. Disruptive Classroom Behavior (Not!)
3. Portable Electronic Devices Usage (Not!)
4. Internet Use During Class
Students are not permitted to browse the Internet, read email, or otherwise use the
computer during lecture time -unless the instructor directs you to access the computer.
Metropolitan Community College

Template Rev. 7/24/06
Using the computer during lecture is distracting to both the instructor and students who
are actively listening. Ignoring this policy will result in lowering your attendance and
participation grade. (CT)

ADDITIONAL COLLEGE POLICIES
1. ACADEMIC HONESTY STATEMENT
Students are reminded that materials they may use as sources for this course may be
subject to copyright protection. Additional information about copyright is provided on the
library webpage at http://www.mccneb.edu/library, by your instructor, or by the College's
Copyright Officer.
In response to incidents of student dishonesty (cheating, plagiarism, etc.), the College
imposes specific actions that may include receiving a failing grade on a test, failure in the
course, suspension from the College, or dismissal from the College. The disciplinary
procedures are available in the Counseling/Advising Centers and at
http://www.mccneb.edu/procedures/V-4_Student_Conduct_and_Discipline.htm.
Instructor Policy:
Please note: ANY sharing or transfer of assigned work or test contents or
answers between a student and any other person or party; in part or in whole;
whether by disk exchange, E-mail, manual transcription, co-development of an
assignment, or any other means; unless authorized by the instructor in advance
in accordance with the guidelines in the following paragraph; will be considered
academic misconduct and be sanctioned with disciplinary action in accordance
with the above paragraph. Both originating and receiving parties will be liable to
such sanction.
Sharing of class notes and handouts is authorized. Obtaining assistance from others
(including tutors or lab techs) for specific programming issues or debugging is
authorized. However, no further collaboration is authorized for any standard
assignment. Students wishing to collaborate further must contact the instructor for
special assignments. Such special assignments must clearly identify in advance which
portions are the responsibility of each individual student wishing to collaborate. The
learning objectives, level of difficulty, and typical work involved for each portion
must be comparable to that for a single student working alone on the corresponding
standard assignment. Each portion will be graded individually. Each portion must
clearly represent the competency of the individual responsible for it, and only that
individual. The instructor reserves the right to refuse any request for special
assignments.
Indications of unauthorized collaboration and/or intent to defraud include, but are not
restricted to, assignments, submitted by students (not necessarily from the same
section) individually under each of their respective names; but which are essentially
identical; are essentially identical except for mechanical changes such as differing
variable or module names; are essentially identical except for differing comments; or
exhibit essentially identical idiosyncratic features such as errors in syntax, style,
logic, output formatting, or spelling. The same criteria apply to submissions, by one
or more students, where those submissions bear indications of copying from any other
Metropolitan Community College
6
Template Rev. 7/24/06
unauthorized source. Authorized sources are the student textbook for the class, lecture
notes, class handouts, and compiler/interpreter documentation and help materials.
In summary, since the instructor must report an individual grade for each student, the
work you submit must be your work and only your work.
2. USE OF STUDENT WORK
The ownership of student works submitted in fulfillment of classroom requirements shall
remain with the student(s): By enrolling in classes offered by Metropolitan Community
College, the student gives the College license to mark on, modify, and retain the work as
may be required by the process of instruction, as described in the course syllabus. The
institution shall not have the right to use the work in any other manner without the written
consent of the student(s).
Instructor Policy:
Nothing in this section shall be construed as superseding the College and program area
policies and procedures described and referenced in the Academic Honesty Statement.
