4. OBJECTIVES:

The student will:

• Demonstrate a working knowledge of C language constructs.
• Present a fully documented project, using the C language for project completion.
• Master program documentation.
• Solve moderately complex problems.

5. ATTENDANCE:

Attendance will be taken each class meeting. It has been my observation that a student who attends class, generally speaking, will do better than one who does not. If you are absent, it is your responsibility to get what you missed.

6. LAB ASSIGNMENTS:

Approximately three hours of each class will be spent in lab. This is part of the class  meeting and may be spent as a directed lab in which we walk through a lab assignment,  or unstructured where you will be give an assignment to work on. In lab periods have me verify the completion of the assignment either checking your work on the computer  or by turning in a printout of the finished project. Lab assignments are not homework!  Homework will be assigned in addition to the lab assignments.

7. HOME WORK:

Homework will be assigned for each lecture. It will be graded and will account for  10% of your grade. Assignments are due on the date indicated. Late homework will  be not accepted.

8. TESTING PROCEDURES:

• Only pencil and black or blues colored pens are acceptable for writing on test papers.

• NO talking allowed during tests except with instructor.

• ANY appearance of cheating (such as, looking at someone else’s papers, computer  screen, talking or passing notes) will be considered cheating and grounds for dismissal  from the class with a grade F for the semester. The person helping as well as the person receiving help will be dropped from class.

• Once the test begins, I will write on the board the ending time. No matter what time you begin the test, all papers will be collected at the time written on the board.

• If you know you will be absent for the test (vacation, business/work, illness), you need  to make arrangements with me BEFORE test is given.

• If you fail to turn in a test, and take it home, you will receive zero points for that test.
