Course Description:  A continuation of the development of a disciplined approach to the design, coding, debugging, and testing of programs. Introduction to algorithmic analysis, recursion, data structures, and sorting mechanisms using a high-level language.

Course Prerequisites:  Minimum grade of C in CMPS 1044 and credit for MATH 1233, 1533, 1534 or 1634

Open Labs: Students may complete program assignments on their personal computers or in one of the campus labs.  Currently, C++ is available in Bolin labs 119 and 103. Bolin 103 is also used as a classroom.   Open times are posted on the door.  Bolin 119 is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. M-F. The lab in Clark Student Center is open 24-7. The lab in Moffett Library is open during library hours.

Course Content: The material includes text reading assignments, lectures, programs, and homework.  Students are responsible for all material regardless of attendance.

Electronic Devices: The use of electronic devices is discouraged in this class.  Students who intend to use a laptop or tablet should sit in the back row(s) of the class to avoid distracting other students.

Missed Programs: If a student fails to turn in an executing program for any project, a zero will be assigned.  If a student fails to turn in a second project, he/she will receive an F in the course.

Late Policy:  Assignments and programs will be accepted late up to two weeks after the due date with a penalty of 5 points per day.  A program turned in after the beginning of class on due date will be considered one day late.  Late work will not be accepted for a grade after two weeks from the due date, but may be accepted for credit to avoid being dropped from the course.  Programs submitted for credit only will be displayed with a grade of 1 in the gradebook.

Academic Honesty:  The Department of Computer Science had adopted the following policy related to cheating (academic misconduct).  The policy will be applied to all instances of cheating on assignments and exams as determined by the instructor of the course.

• 1^st instance of cheating in a course: The student will be assigned a non-replaceable grade of zero for the assignment, project or exam.  In addition, the student will receive a one letter grade reduction in course.
• 2^nd instance of cheating in a course: The student will receive a grade of F in course & immediately be removed from course.
• All instances of cheating will be reported to the Department Chair and, in the case of graduate students, to the Department Graduate Coordinator.

Course Grade

            Semester Exams (3)                        60%  (20% each)

            Programs                                           25%

            Quizzes/Homework                         15%

Attendance:  Attending class is one of the primary keys to doing well in this class. Students with excessive absences may be reported to the dean of students and may receive a grade of F in the class. There is no distinction made between excused and unexcused. Make-up exams will be given only if the student has a reasonable excuse and if the instructor is contacted within 24 hours of the exam and arrangements are made for the make-up prior to the next class meeting. Students are expected to be in the classroom when class begins and to stay the entire period.  Missed quizzes may not be made up.

Late Policy:  Assignments and programs will be accepted late up to two weeks after the due date with a penalty of 5 points per day.  A program turned in after the beginning of class on due date will be considered one day late.  Late work will not be accepted for a grade after two weeks from the due date, but may be accepted for credit to avoid being dropped from the course.  Programs submitted for credit only will be displayed with a grade of 1 in the gradebook.

Note: You may not submit a paper for a grade in this class that already has been (or will be) submitted for a grade in another course, unless you obtain the explicit written permission of me and the other instructor involved in advance.

Plagiarism is the use of someone else's thoughts, words, ideas, or lines of argument in your own work without appropriate documentation (a parenthetical citation at the end and a listing in "Works Cited")-whether you use that material in a quote, paraphrase, or summary. It is a theft of intellectual property and will not be tolerated, whether intentional or not.

Student Honor Creed

As an MSU Student, I pledge not to lie, cheat, steal, or help anyone else do so."

As students at MSU, we recognize that any great society must be composed of empowered, responsible citizens. We also recognize universities play an important role in helping mold these responsible citizens. We believe students themselves play an important part in developing responsible citizenship by maintaining a community where integrity and honorable character are the norm, not the exception.

Thus, We, the Students of Midwestern State University, resolve to uphold the honor of the University by affirming our commitment to complete academic honesty. We resolve not only to be honest but also to hold our peers accountable for complete honesty in all university matters.

We consider it dishonest to ask for, give, or receive help in examinations or quizzes, to use any unauthorized material in examinations, or to present, as one's own, work or ideas which are not entirely one's own. We recognize that any instructor has the right to expect that all student work is honest, original work. We accept and acknowledge that responsibility for lying, cheating, stealing, plagiarism, and other forms of academic dishonesty fundamentally rests within each individual student.

We expect of ourselves academic integrity, personal professionalism, and ethical character. We appreciate steps taken by University officials to protect the honor of the University against any who would disgrace the MSU student body by violating the spirit of this creed.
