COSC 1320 - C++ PROGRAMMING
AUSTIN COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Instructor-Allan S. Kochis

SYLLABUS

Instructor Information

• Allan Kochis (coaches)

Introduction to the C++ programming language and its subset, the C programming language. Program structure, blocks, storage types, console and file I/O, functions, arrays, strings, pointers, call-by-reference, call-by-value, and dynamic memory allocation will be discussed. The concept of classes will be introduced. The differences between C++ and C will also be discussed.

The course will have both lab and lecture

This course is designed to teach students the The C++ programming language and introductory and intermediate programming concepts with examples and applications using the C++ language. The course builds and extends topics covered in the prerequisite course, COSC 1315 and prepares students for more advanced programming courses such as ITSE 2431 (Advanced C++ Programming) and COSC 2415 (Data Structures) as well as for entry level programming employment. The course is required for an Associate Degree in several Computer Information Systems and Computer Science degree areas

Students will be exposed to the following concepts and/or skills at an Introductory concepts level:
• The analysis and design of programs based on requirements and performance considerations.
• Evaluation of various possible technical solutions.
• Object-oriented design considerations.
• System integration.
• Program documentation.
• Program debugging procedures.
• Developing program testing plans.
• Consideration of program operating environment.
• Use of reusable software;

  • 0 -60 F
• Incompletes. A grade of "I" incomplete will be for emergency situations ONLY.
• EXAMS Anyone missing an exam needs to contact Mr. Kochis prior to the exam and present a valid, verifiable excuse for missing an exam. Being unprepared for the exam is probably verifiable but is not a valid excuse. Make-up exams will be scheduled as necessary.
• Extra Credit During the semester I will be announcing several extra credit programs. These programs are not required. They are optional for students who wish to enhance their grade standing.

• In order to be graded programs MUST be working programs. Partial or incomplete programs will not be graded.
• Programs MUST be turned in by the due date.
• Programs will be graded on the following basis.
