THE LINKS
Link to the Envisioned WNU Graduate
The course will enable a WNU graduate practice basic-yet-competitive skills in C/C++ language
programming in his/her future workplace or environment by providing and requiring them with
practical examples and exercises.
Link to the Envisioned Degree Holder
The course will equip a BSIT graduate with the ability to teach and demonstrate basic computer
programming skills in C/C++.
Horizontal Link
The course will supplement/complement what they will simultaneously learn from ITFL 101 (IT
Fundamentals with Office Productivity Tools). The course uses correct mathematics operations and
functions they must have been learning in Math 110 (College Algebra).
Vertical Link
The learning from this course will serve as foundation to the next computer programming course,
which is ITCP 103 (Computer Programming 2: Advanced Programming Techniques).

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Programming and Logic Formulation 1 is part of the BSIT program to establish basic programming
and logical skills, which is foundational and pre-requisite to Programming and Logic Formulation 2
and supplementary/complementary to IT Fundamentals with Office Productivity Tools and College
Algebra.
The course introduces the basic concepts and elements of a computer programming language and
guides the development of a corresponding computer program based on a particular problem. It
includes discussion on I/O statements, loop, and branching instructions, and creating functions and
procedures using C/C++ Language.
At the end of the course, the student is now a computer programmer in C/C++ language applying
the art and style of procedural programming to solve computational problems adhering to the standards
and guidelines of documentation.
COURSE INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES
Upon successful completion of the course, the students are expected to:
1. Recognize the basic (program) control structures.
2. Properly evaluate an expression, identify and classify the primitive data types and
commonly-used functions in C/C++ language, and appropriately use built-in basic I/O
functions and program statements.
3. Construct the general form/format/syntax of a C/C++ program based on applicable
program design technique/paradigm.
4. Follow the fundamental, logical, related, and sequential steps in the Program Development
Life Cycle (PDLC) and adhere to standards and guidelines of documentations.LO1
5. Declare variables, and define and call user-defined functions and macros (in a program)
according to correct syntax using an IDE (Integrated Development Environment).
6. Write, encode, save, compile, and execute a computer program/programming project(s) in
C/C++ language on a given computational problem integrating the concepts and principles
learned in this course.IL

COURSE POLICIES
1. The course is a pre-requisite to ITCP 103, which is regularly offered the next semester (i.e.,
second semester of the academic year). It requires a minimum of grade of 3.5, which is
equivalent to 75%.
2. There are four Periodic Exams, namely: Prelim, Midterm, Pre-Final and Final.
3. A set of laboratory exercises must be completed and compiled individually.
4. An individual project or final requirement is necessary.
5. Notes must be written on a separate notebook.
6. Absences must not exceed 18 hours for the entire semester.
7. A removal or remedial exam may be offered, if necessary.
8. Participation in class discussion or work is encouraged with incentives.
9. An Integrated Development Environment (i.e., Turbo C/C++, Borland C++, or CodeBlocks) is
recommended to be used.
10. A student should save his/her computer programs in a folder, bearing his/her own name, on
drive D and should copy the same on his/her flash drive.
11. It is the responsibility of each student to secure and protect his/her laboratory exercises and
requirements from deliberate and accidental deletions.
