This course is an introduction to programming for students without prior programming experience. The goal is to familiarize students with the fundamental components of object-oriented programming --  algorithms, data structures, modular design, etc. The course emphasizes fundamental concepts and elementary program design. Upon completion of the course, students should be well prepared to branch out into more modern, application-specific, and/or higher-level programming models.

Grading: Weekly homeworks -- with grades of Check plus, Check, Check minus, and Zero -- a midterm exam and a final project. 

 The final grade is determined as:

• 30% weekly homeworks
• 30% midterm exam
• 40% final project

Explanation of Homework grades:
Check plus - Indicates complete mastery of the assignment, no mistakes
Check - Indicates satisfactory mastery of the assignment
Check minus - Indicates some mastery of the assignment
Zero - Assignment was not turned in or failed to follow instructions

Successful completion of Challenge problems can raise assignment grade one level

Course will be graded on a curve

Homework Submission

Typically, homework will be assigned after class on Mondays and is due at 5:20pm the following Monday. This schedule will vary on the first week, 4th of July week, and midterm week.

Homework should be submitted as detailed on the homework submission section, either by e-mail with a specified subject line or as a printout at the start of class. Unless otherwise noted, only one file should be turned in if submitted electronically, and this file Must work in the Programming environment/language level stated in the assignment. Failure to do this will result in a Zero grade.

The instructor reserves the right to alter the course contents, dates, times or percentage of credit based on time allowed and class progress through the course material.
