COURSE SYLLABUS:
CIS213 is the Programming II class here at PGCC. Using the “C++” language, the course
continues with the concepts covered in CIS-111 such as functions and arrays. In addition,
subjects such as pointers, structures, objects and classes will be covered during the upcoming
semester. We will concentrate on structured programming techniques, top-down design, clear
and concise coding, good programming style and most importantly, the development of good
programming logic.
The grading system for the course is based on 500 points. There will be three (3) major
exams given during the semester. Each exam is worth 100 points. Don’t miss an exam - there
are no makeups ! Each exam will be announced at least 7 days in advance so you will have
plenty of time to plan your schedule. If you miss an exam, you will receive a zero (0). It
is highly unlikely that you can pass the course without all three exams so make an effort to
be in class.
In addition to your exams, you will be required to hand in 5 lab projects during the
course of the semester. Each project will be assigned a due date. No project will be
accepted after that date - no exceptions. You may, however, turn in projects early. Projects
are handed out far enough in advance that you will have plenty of time to complete each
assignment. Each project is worth 25 points.
Finally, there will be up to 6 quizzes throughout the semester. You may drop your
lowest quiz. If you miss a quiz for whatever reason, that becomes your lowest quiz. Your
five "best" quizzes will be worth about 20 points each (for a total of 100 points). A quiz may
be given in any class without warning.
Your final grade for the course is based on the following scale:

The computers for the course are the IBM compatibles micros located in the various labs
throughout campus. In the second week of class, a CIS Info Sheet will be handed out. It
contains vital information for CIS students such as lab information, important dates in the
semester, weather cancellation information, bookstore hours, etc.

NOTE:
-You should have at least four 3½” diskettes:
2 original + 2 backup.
- ZIP (100’s, or 250’s) are better to have than 3½” diskettes.
-Dates on projects are given out with the projects.
-Tests are in the 10th week, 15th week, and during the final week.
-Attendance is not mandatory, but missing class work and notes is up to
the student to obtain from other students.
-Submitted work must be your own, copy other students projects results in
a zero for both students.
-Tape recorders are allowed in class.
-Cell phones should be OFF or on vibrator status.
-Eating and drinking in class or lab is not allowed.
-The PGCC handbook, which is published with a nice spiral bound
calendar/planner is free for students and can be picked up at the College
Life Office in Largo Student Center (near the bookstore). All official
policies relating to students are spelled out here.
CLASS FORMAT: ”Lecture” time is intended to be used for classroom lecture, presentation of
material, discussion, etc. “Lab” time will usually be devoted to hands-on demonstrations and
exercises, as well as time for students to work on individual assignments. Students should
also expect to work a minimum of ten hours per week outside of class time on homework and
projects.
Attendance: Research on college success demonstrates that class attendance is a significant
factor in student success. Considerable material will be covered during each class session.
There will be discussion of assignments, and handouts will be distributed. If a student must
miss class, it is his/her responsibility to get the notes and assignments from a classmate and
check with the instructor regarding any handouts, etc., preferably prior to the next class
period.
Prince George's Community College is committed to a policy of reasonable accommodation and
services to persons with disabilities. In order to receive services, students with
disabilities must register with the Disability Support Services. Call between 8:30 and 4:30
pm, Monday through Friday, 301-322-0838 to schedule an appointment.
College Closings:
If an emergency develops requiring school closing, the following radio stations will be asked
to announce the closings: WMAL, WPGC, WRC, WTOP, WAMU,WAVA, WASH, WHUR, WWMX, and WGAY. The
following TV stations will also be asked to announce the closing: WRC(4), WTTG (5), WJLA (7),
WUSA (9), and News Channel 8. Please note the college will have its own announcement which is
separate from that of the Prince George’s County Public Schools.

DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES
Students requesting academic accommodations are required to contact the Disability Support Services Office (M-1042) or call (301) 3220838 (voice) or (301) 322-0122 (TTY) to establish eligibility for services and accommodations. Students with documented disabilities should
discuss the matter privately with their instructors at the beginning of the semester and provide a copy of their Student/Faculty Accommodation
Form.
CODE OF CONDUCT
The Prince George's Community College Code of Conduct defines the rights and responsibilities of students and establishes a system of
procedures for dealing with students charged with violations of the code and other rules and regulations of the college. A student enrolling in
the college assumes an obligation to conduct himself/herself in a manner compatible with the college's function as an educational institution.
Refer to the 2003-2004 Student Handbook, beginning on page 39, for a complete explanation of the code of conduct, including the procedure
for dealing with disruptive student behavior.
CODE OF ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
The college is an institution of higher learning that holds academic integrity as its highest principle. In the pursuit of knowledge, the college
community expects that all students, faculty, and staff will share responsibility for adhering to the values of honesty and unquestionable
integrity. To support a community committed to academic achievement and scholarship, the Code of Academic Integrity advances the
principle of honest representation in the work that is produced by students seeking to engage fully in the learning process. The complete text
of the recently approved Code of Academic Integrity will be sent to all enrolled students early in the spring 2004 semester and posted on the
college's website.
