COM101 3+1 Introduction To Computer Science & Programming

Course Title: Computer Programming
Course Code: COM101

Credit Hours: 3+1
Pre-requisite: Introduction to Computer Science & Programming
Aims & Objectives:

The objective of Computer Programming course is to provide the student with an understanding
of the essential concepts of structured and object oriented programming in C++. Fundamental
concepts of programming language like assertion, assignment, control flow, iteration, recursion ,
data representations, functions, structures and classes will be thoroughly discussed during the
course of study. By the end of the course the student should be proficient in computer program
design / implementation and analysis of small to mid level programs.
Learning Outcomes:
Having successfully completed the course, you will be able to demonstrate knowledge and
understanding of:
 Edit, compile and run C++ programs

 Problem analysis and solution design
 Develop algorithms to solve basic programming problems
 Select appropriate data types for variables
 Selection statements and decision making
 Write programs that use one/two dimensional arrays
 Use of pointers and strings
 Function deceleration, definition and call
 Appropriately localize variables, including the use of parameter passing between functions
 Use structured programming constructs to write modular programs
 Apply structured testing and debugging techniques to C++ programs
 Fundamentals of Encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism
 Object oriented program design and programming
Marks Distribution:
Assignments + Class Quizzes + Project(s) + Presentation(s) 25%
Midterm Examination 25%
Final Examination 50%
Assignments:
Assignments would be assigned at least one week before the due date and must be
submitted on or before due date. No late assignment will be accepted. Total of 4
assignments would be assigned during the semester. You have to be very careful
while you are solving your assignment. Please do not try copy from someone else
in order to avoid any problem at the end of the semester.
Class Quizzes:
To check the class performance, sudden death test or class quizzes would be taken
in class throughout the semester. At least 5 quizzes would be taken during the
semester. These quizzes have to be solved in the class and they would be of short
duration. There would be no LATE submission or MAKEUP for these quizzes.
