Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of this course students should be able to:
1.
2.

3.

Demonstrate theoretical knowledge in programming terminology and obtain a solid grasp of

the basic mechanics of programming.
Trace the execution of a simple program or a code fragments, particularly simple cases such
as determine the output or keeping track of the values of variables through a short series of
computations, including branches, loops, and method calls.
Construct a code fragment or program using appropriate data types declaration, and
appropriate commands to demonstrate the input, output, control structure, subroutine,
stream I/O and array statement.

Synopsis
An applied programming course to introduce computer based problems solving techniques. This course
provides an introduction to the C++ programming methodology from algorithm development and
documentation to object- oriented programming. Upon successful completion, students will be able to write
programs of moderate complexity and length which include standard data types, control structures, user
written and library functions, arrays, recursion and stream I/O.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. If a student is absent for any particular lecture or tutorial class, the initiative should come
from the student himself/herself to ask the lecturer/peers IMMEDIATELY what are the
things that have been missed (the lecturer wont bother to ask the reason why you are
absent or ask you when would you like to have your remake quiz/test/assignment, so do
not blame the lecturer if you missed an assessment and get 0 for any
assignment/quiz/test, etc.)
2. If you are absent because you are on MEDICAL LEAVE, please make sure you give one
photocopy of your MC the next day or ASAP so that it can be recorded in the attendance. If
you are absent for no particular reason (i.e. you could not wake up from sleep, you got lost
in the academic building) no exception is given at all, your attendance will be recorded as
0.
3. You MUST COMPLY THE 80% OF YOUR ATTENDANCE or otherwise, youll be barred from
the subject.
