2 EGLS3 -- Evaluation for Greater Learning Student Survey System At Houston Community College, professors believe that thoughtful student feedback is necessary to improve teaching and learning. During a designated time, you will be asked to answer a short online survey of research-based questions related to instruction. The anonymous results of the survey will be made available to your professors and division chairs for continual improvement of instruction. Look for the survey as part of the Houston Community College Student System online near the end of the term. Course Requirement, Policy, and Course Calendar Instructor's Requirements Academic Honesty: Students are expected to complete all materials (examinations and exercises) on their own. Each student must code and debug his own program code (No help from other students. Help from the instructor or tutor is permitted). All the work that you turn in is expected to be your own. Both giving and receiving information about quizzes, projects, or test constitutes academic dishonesty. The penalty for academic dishonesty will be grade of F and dismissal from this course Working together on programming assignments is not permitted. However, helping a fellow student understand the intent of a specification is OK. Students who work together too closely together (e.g. designing their solution together) should be aware that this is a form of cheating called COLLUSION and is subject to academic penalties. The homework, programs, and exams must be the work of the student turning them in. Acts that exceed the bounds defined by the approved collaboration practices will be considered cheating. Such acts include: Copying solutions, code, or programs from someone else or giving someone else your solution, code, or programs. Getting help in debugging. (except from your instructor) Participating in a discussion group that develops a solution that everyone copies. We urge everyone in the class to take appropriate measures for protecting one's work. You should protect your files, homework solutions sheets, etc as deemed reasonable. Studying for test together is permitted and encouraged. Please ask for advice if you are unsure about how to work together with your friend in a legal helpful manner It is always OK to "work together" with your instructor. Make-up Exam Policy: As a general rule, I do not give any makeup examination. Computer Science Technology Department Page 2 of 12

3 FOR A PROGRAMMING ASSIGNMENT TO BE GRADEABLE IT MUST CONFORM TO THE SPECIFICATION, BE EXECUTABLE AND PRODUCE THE CORRECT OUTPUT. PROGRAMS NOT MEETING THE ABOVE CONDITIONS ARE WORTH ZERO POINTS Submitted work that is incomplete will be returned for re-working and will be assessed late points. Late Assignments Policy: The late penalty is 5 points per day 30 point max. No late work accepted after 2 calendar weeks past the due date. It is your responsibility to deliver the assignments by the due date deadline. Technology failure and Murphy s Law are not acceptable excuses. Early submissions are encouraged and is good protection from Murphy s Law. I will compile and run your code. Use the Visual Studio IDE to create a Project/Solution to write your code and debug your assignment Naming your Project The Project/Solution folder name will consist of your initials prefixed to the assignment filename Example: If Triangle.pgm is the Assignment filename, then the Project-name is pk.triangle Enter this name in the name textbox of the New Project Wizard Required source files: TestDriver.cs <Classname>.cs Program.cs This is a Console Main() consisting of Unit Tests. The test will use hard wired test values and externally calculated verifiable answers. This is the class implementation. This is typically a user interactive Console Interface. Submitting your Assignments for Grading Submission methods: 1 Copy your VS project folder to my USB flash drive (preferred method) 2 with attached zipped VS project folder. Must have a timestamp before deadline Computer Science Technology Department Page 3 of 12

4 3 with attached source files. Must have a timestamp before deadline Instructor Grading Criteria You must pass the final exam to pass the course. MidTerm 10% Final 20% Programming 50% Reading quiz && In class exercises 15% There will be Chapter quiz for each chapter in the textbook. Quizzes will be due at the start of the next Chapter.

HCC Grading Scale Grade GPA Points A = points per semester hour B = 89-80: 3 points per semester hour C = 79-70: 2 points per semester hour D = 69-60: 1 points per semester hour 59 and below = F 0 points per semester hour IP (In Progress) 0 points per semester hour W(Withdrawn) 0 points per semester hour I (Incomplete) 0 points per semester hour AUD (Audit) 0 points per semester hour IP (In Progress) is given only in certain developmental courses. The student must re-enroll to receive credit. COM (Completed) is given in non-credit and continuing education courses. To compute grade point average (GPA), divide the total grade points by the total number of semester hours attempted. The grades "IP," "COM" and "I" do not affect GPA. Course Student Learning Outcomes (SLO): 1 Explain the purpose of computer programming language 2 Identify and explain programming development lifecycle including planning, analysis, design, development, and maintenance. 3 Analyze problems. 4 Design algorithms using pseudo code, flowcharts, and structured charts Explain and use programming language elements including syntax, data types, conditional statement, control structures, procedures, arrays, classes, and objects.
