AN IMPORTANT NOTE ON ACADEMIC DISHONESTY

You are encouraged to work and study with your classmates. You can discuss homework problems with your classmates in order to understand what you are being asked to do. HOWEVER, you must work on the actual solution on your own. All work you submit for homework or exams MUST be your own work. This is the only way you will strengthen your skills of programming and program design. You cannot submit any program code or exam answers obtained from another person without your instructor's permission as your own. You also cannot use unauthorized sources for your answers to programs or exams. If you are unsure whether a source is acceptable, you must ask your instructor. If you cheat or aid someone in cheating knowingly, you can automatically fail this course and be brought up on charges of academic dishonesty without warning.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

An introduction to procedural and object-oriented programming methodology. Topics include program structure, conditional and iterative programming, procedures, arrays and records, object classes, encapsulation, information hiding, inheritance, polymorphism, file I/O, and exceptions. Includes required laboratory. This course has been designated as a High Demand/Controlled Access (HD/CA) course. Students registering for HD/CA courses for the first time will have priority to do so.
