Prerequisites

T he only prerequisite of this course is that you have already taken one computer science class (such as CS 100). We won't expect you to know any specific languages, but you should be familiar with programming concepts (such as i/o, and recursion) and simple data structures (such as queues, lists, and trees).

Reading Material

R equired: Optional:

Software

T he main software for the course is Metrowerks CodeWarrior for the Macintosh. CodeWarrior 11 is available in all CIT labs that have machines with the capacity to support it, including Upson B7, MVR G83, abd Sibley B8. Personal copies of CodeWarrior are available at the Campus Store. Except when we need to use specific libraries or facilities unique to the Macintosh or CodeWarrior you may use any version of C++ that is available to you. However the course staff may not experience with your particular version and may not be able to help.

Grading Policies

If right now you are wondering, "What is the minimum amount I can do to pass this course?" drop the class right now. This class is not required for any degree plan that I know of, and if you just need hours there are easier ways. That said, your grade will depend on your proficiency of C++ at the end of the course. How this translates into points, percentages, averages and curves will remain unspecified.

Academic Integrity

A ll homework assignments will be done individually, and will be designed to be a reasonable amount of work for one person. With your classmates, feel free to converse about problem solving tactics, discuss language constructs, and help out with small annoying bugs. However, any further collaboration is a violation of the Code of Academic Integrity. Please ask if you are unsure.
