Textbook: Problem Solving with C++ (6th Edition) by Walter Savitch (2007),
ISBN 0-321-41269-9, Addison Wesley (Pearson Education)
Course Objectives: Problem-solving and algorithm development. Includes programming style, structured programming, selection, iteration, arrays, subprograms, and modular programming. Course environment will be both lecture and practicum.
Prerequisites: Successful completion of CIS 130 with a C or above.
Grading: Program/Homework 30% A 90 – 100%
Midterm Tests (2) 40% B 80 – 89%
Final Exam 25% C 70 – 79%

Course Web Page: Announcement, lecture slides, and assignments announcement and submission will be made through a course Web page accessible from WebCT. You must check the course Web page on a regular basis for up-to-date information of the classes.
Attendance: Each of three tardy attendances is counted as an absence. Leaving class early will be counted as an absence (unless illness or prior approval). If your unexcused absences are over 25% of class meetings, you will get FA for this course. In case of bad weather, call university information system (864-388-8000) to find out about any cancellation and delays.
Submission: Programs (Lab assignments) and homework should be submitted through WebCT before specified due dates. Due date of each lab assignment will be announced when the assignment is given. In case of emergency, such as malfunction of WebCT, assignments can be submitted through e-mail to me. You will be expected to hand in assignments when they are due. Late assignments will get 20% less points for each day late. After 5 days, a grade of zero will be given for the assignment.
Make-up Policy: For missed exams, only documented and approved absences will be allowed (Death in family, severe illness, etc.) For a missed test, you must notify me within 24 hours after the test in order to take a makeup test. Failure to do so could result in a zero for the test.
Honor Code: All work that is turned in is expected to be your own. If you need help, please see me. The minimum penalty for submitting work that is not your own is a zero on the assignment. If you are found copying an assignment from another student, the above penalties will apply to both parties. Refer to Academic Honor Code in the Student Handbook. I trust there will be no need to invoke it. Be assured, however, that if the need were to arise, I would.
Special Requirements: If you have now or develop during this semester a physical or a learning disability and you want your instructors to make reasonable accommodations, you must see Mr.Lafayette Harrison (LC-345, phone 388-8814) and provide him with appropriate documentation unless you have done so in the past. Once Mr. Harrison is aware of your disability, he will inform all of your instructors each semester you attend Lander University unless you ask him in writing not to do so.
Misc: Cellular phones must be turned OFF during class except for medical reasons. Permission must be granted to have cellular phone on during class time.
