Description: 4 hours, 4 credits
CIS 166: Computers, algorithms, and programs. Data representation; processing of
quantitative and character data. Control structures, multidimensional arrays.
Introduction to formatted input/output procedures. Programming applications drawn
from business information processing.
Prerequisites: MAT 104 or placement by the Department of Mathematics and
Computer Science.
Note: Intended for students in Accounting or Computer Information Systems.
Not intended for students in Mathematics or Computer Science.
CMP 230: Introduction to structured computer programming using
a modern high-level programming language. Programming constructs covered to
include console I/O, data types, variables, control structures, including
iteration, arrays, function definitions and calls, parameter passing,
functional decomposition, and an introduction to objects. Debugging techniques.
Prerequisites: MAT 104 or placement by the Department of Mathematics and
Computer Science.
Note: For students who intend to major in Computer Science, Mathematics,
Computer Graphics and Imaging, or the sciences. Some previous computer programming
experience is highly recommended.
Expectations: Students are expected to learn both the material covered in class and the material in the textbook and other assigned reading. Completing homework is an essential part of the learning experience. Students should review topics from prior courses as needed using old notes and books.
Honor Code: You are encouraged to work together on the
overall design of the programs and homework. However, for specific
programs and homework assignments, all work must be your own. You
are responsible for knowing and following Lehman's
academic integrity code
(available from the Undergraduate Bulletin, Graduate Bulletin, or the Office of
Academic Standards and Evaluations).
All incidents of cheating will be reported to the Vice President of Student Affairs.
Email: I will be communicating with you on a regular basis throughout the semester using Lehman College email address. You must check that email address on a regular basis. There will be no acceptable excuse for missing an email announcement.
Homework: Programming problem sets are due most weeks. Problem sets are posted on the class website, they reinforce concepts covered in class. Each problem set will have 5 problems. We will select 1 of these problems for full grading. That problem will be worth 10 points. To receive full credit for a program, the program must perform correctly, must include comments, and be written in good style. The other 4 problems will be graded on effort only and will each be worth 1 point. Extra credit will be availble for the 1 fully graded problem and will consist of 1 point for the completion of the problem 24 hrs ahead of the deadline and 2 points for the completion of the problem 48 hrs ahead of the deadline.
The homework grade will only be based on the program chosen each week and the effort shown in the other 4 programs. (10 points + 4 points for a total of 14 points a week, plus a possible 2 points extra credit). No late homework is accepted.
Exams: There will be two midterm exams and a final exam. The dates of the exams are:
Grades: The grading for the course will be based on:
Since the final exam is comprehensive, if you do better on the final exam than the midterm exams, the final grade can replace those grades. This will be done automatically when your final grade is calculated. You must take and pass the final to pass the course. There are no make-up exams.
Textbooks:
Technology: This course uses the python programming language. It is available on the department computers in Gillet Hall. See python website for information on installing it on your own machine.
Computer Access: Part of this course will use university computer laboratories. These machines are for work related to this course only and a code of conduct applies to computer use in the department and on-campus. Misusing university computers could result in losing your computer access for the rest of the term, making it exceedingly difficult to complete this course.
Tutoring: Departmental tutoring is available in the Math Lab on the 2nd floor of Gillet Hall. Additional office hours will be available by course instructors throughout the semester. See the course Blackboard page for announcements.
Accommodating Disabilities: Lehman College is committed to providing access to all programs and curricula to all students. Students with disabilities who may need classroom accommodations are encouraged to register with the Office of Student Disability Services. For more info, please contact the Office of Student Disability Services, Shuster Hall, Room 238, phone number, 718-960-8441.
At the end of the course, students should be able to:
