Syllabus

Overview

The purpose of this class is twofold:

1. Learn C++, which will partition the class into three sections:
   • Non-object-oriented C++
   • Object-oriented C++
   • Templates and the STL
2. Learn the tools of a professional programmer, including:
   • make
   • debuggers
   • valgrind
   • efence
   • programming styles (imperative, event-driven, object-oriented)
   • source control systems
   • coding standards

Conduct in Class

Don’t distract the students. I don’t insist that you pay attention, but you must allow others to participate. This means:

• Do not distract others with conversation.
• Do not distract others with your phone.
• Do not distract others by reading the newspaper.
• Do not distract others by using your laptop in front of the class.
• If you snore, I will wake you up.

Policies

Policies on cheating, plagiarism, incomplete grades, attendance, discrimination, sexual harassment, and student grievances are described in the Student Information Guide. In addition this class adheres to the policies set in the current CSU General Catalog.

You may not copy or use, all or in part, someone else’s work. You may not give your work, all or in part, to someone else for any reason. It is your responsibility to keep your work private from all others. You may not collaborate to produce one product turned in multiple times. You may not use work done in a previous semester by someone else.

You MAY discuss assignments but the work you turn in must be your own. You have crossed the line if you start comparing someone else’s work to your own (or vice versa). You have crossed the line if you cannot explain/understand the work you submit.

NOTE: The Computer Science Dept. often runs similarity detection software on completed assignment program code. This software is quite sophisticated and can detect duplicated code among one or more programs with an astoundingly high resolution.
