Course Description: 4 hours, 3 credits
Structured computer programming using a modern high-level programming language. Includes 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.
Note: This course is for students who intend to major in Computer Science, Mathematics, Computer Graphics and Imaging, or the sciences. Some previous computer programming experience is recommended. Not intended for students in Accounting or Computer Information Systems; the technical content is the same as CIS 166 but the emphasis is different.
PREREQ: MAT 104 or placement by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science.
Course Objectives:
On successfully completing this course, students should be able to:
Grading Policy:
All your assignments: P&C, Homework and Projects are submitted through your zyBooks. All assignments have strict due dates. Late submissions are NEVER accepted. All assignments allow for unlimited attempts to submit via zyBooks prior to the deadline.
For each assignment, the highest earned submission score will be recorded.
Expectations: Students are expected to attend the lecture and participate in the associated lab section. Students are expected to learn the material covered in the lecture, the lab, and the textbook as well as any other assigned reading or exercises. Students are expected to actively participate in the slack communication channel and regularly check for messages or announcements. Students are expected to complete homework as an essential part of the learning experience. Students should review topics from prior courses as needed using old notes and books. All work must be your own.
Honor Code: You are encouraged to discuss the overall design of programs and homework. However, all work must be your own for all programs and homework assignments. Any sources used in the completion of your assignment must be explicitly quoted. You are responsible for knowing and following Lehman's academic integrity code (available from the Undergraduate Bulletin, Graduate Bulletin, Office of Academic Standards and Evaluations, or the Smart Catalog). All incidents of cheating will be reported to the Vice President of Student Affairs.
Communication: We will be communicating with you on a regular basis throughout the semester using slack. Occasional emails will also be sent out via CUNYFirst to the email address you provided. You must check for messages on a regular basis. There will be no acceptable excuse for missing an announcement.
