Course Learning Outcomes

A successful student passing this course gains an ability to

1. know the of hardware and software requirements for coding, compiling and executing C programs.(e1,e2,e3)

2. use a suitable IDE to edit, compile, and execute C codes (k1,k2,k3)

3. construct an algorithm and /or flowchart for solving a problem (e1,e2,e3)

4. include library headers, and declare variables of basic types (e1,e2,e3)

5. use if, if-then-else and switch statements in C codes (e1,e2,e3)

6. use while-loop, do-while loop, and for-loop in C codes (e1,e2,e3)

7. use arrays concept in C programming (e1,e2,e3)

8. use functions with arguments by value (e1,e2,e3)

Assessment

Attendance and Participation: Attendance to every lecture is mandatory.

There will be no points for the attendance.

Policy on makeups and re-sit

• If a student misses midterm or final exams with a reasonable excuse, he/she MUST submit a written report to the CMPE department secretary stating their excuse, within 3 days of that examination. Otherwise, make-up examination will not be provided.

• Only one makeup exam will be given for the midterm or final at the end of the semester that will cover all the topics listed above.

• The re-sit exam will cover both midterm and final topics, and it will replace both midterm and final.

• If you miss both midterm and final exams and do not submit any written report, you will get an “NG” grade.

Policy on labs

• No exemption will be provided for labs.

• There will be no makeup for the missed lab experiments. On application of a student with an acceptable reason within the previous week, lab coordinator may change the lab hours of the student to another group.

• If you miss three or more labs, your lab grade will be zero.

Policy on cheating and plagiarism: Plagiarism (which also includes any kind of cheating in exams, assignments, and lab works) is a disciplinary offence and will be dealt with accordingly. Furthermore, the penalty of plagiarism is to get grade zero for the corresponding exam, assignment, or lab work.
