Description: Programming for CS 121 and 122 is an introductory sequence intended for computer science students. Major concerns include: 1. Modern programming methodology, and learning to design and code clear, concise programs for relatively complicated problems; 2. Basic abstractions and concepts of computer science and; 3. The C++ language.
Grading (approx): Homework will count 40% and Tests (2 Tests & Final) 60%.
Homework Policy: 5 programming assignments will be given this
quarter. We count the top 4. If you miss a program do to illness,
family emergency or any other reason, then you will be graded on the
remaining 4 programs. If you miss more than 2 programs due to
illness, you will need to provide a note from a doctor.
Students may discuss problems together, but must submit their own
work. Copying is strictly forbidden. When evaluating your programs
there will be a 50% penalty if the program does not compile.
All programs will be electronically submitted to TA (do not submit to
Prof. Annexstein). Late homework will be accepted up until the class
following the due date with a 15% late penalty.
