Teaching Assistant 6  Bryan Nix 

Getting Help 7  Come to my office hours  Use the discussion board on Blackboard  GO TO LAB!!!  CSE Help Desk  Many hours  Many TA’s

8 Assignments

Homework 9  Regularly assigned homework assignments – Usually due on Friday before class starts unless otherwise noted  Download and print from web-site.  No late homeworks accepted.  One homework grade will be dropped at the end of the semester.

Programming Projects 10  Opportunity to use the concepts that we’ve talked about in class  Most Projects  will be assigned over at least 2 weeks  will have 2 sets of deliverables  Design documents first week  Implementation files second week

Programming Projects 11  Deliverables usually are due by Tuesday 6:00 p.m. of the week listed on the course outline  Students responsibility to submit programs early or on-time (Blackboard)  Late programs are not accepted except with special permission from the professor  A point penalty will be incurred!  TA cannot give you this permission! We will also take part in interdisciplinary projects with ME 1202 and EE 1382!

Programming Assignments 12  What you should submit  Design Documents  Structure Chart  Pseudocode  Implementation Files  Source Code  Executables  No hard copies of any of these will be submitted/accepted – only submit via Blackboard  Other deliverables may be added as the semester progresses

No Exams!!! 13  No Large Exams  4 quizzes  obviously occur more often  Check outline for tentative dates  Cannot be made up except with special permission

Your Final Grade 14 Type:Percentage: Quizzes25 % Projects40 % Interdisciplinary Design Projects20 % Homework Assignments10 % Attendance and Active Participation5 %  Will be determined by adding up all the points you have accumulated throughout the semester

Attendance and Participation 15  For this class, Lab is Mandatory.  Participating in class and lab is essential and required.  Your final grade will also reflect the amount of time spent outside class/lab. Expect to spend 8 – 12 hours per week on work outside this class. You also don’t want to miss those extra bonus points that pop up here and there

Academic Ethics 16  In General, you are expected to create, edit and print out YOUR OWN assignments and take tests without outside assistance. All work is expected to be your own.  This class will have a some amount of group work.  Each team member is fully responsible for knowing the details of the complete implementation and must be able to explain/defend their group’s solution.

Academic Ethics 17  For Individual Work:  You should never look at or review another person’s work for any given assignment; that includes looking at papers or even at the computer screen where student work is displayed.  You should never give an answer to or receive an answer for an assignment, or any parts of any assignment, from another person; again, that includes source code, design documents, homework, etc.

Academic Ethics 18  If you violate the collaboration policy for a graded assignment as in the example activities noted above, you will receive an F in the course. (Penalties may be less severe as decided by Prof. Fontenot).

Academic Ethics 19  You may be brought to the Honor Council for any act of Academic Dishonesty – either giving or receiving solutions

Academic Ethics Recap 20 Do your own work and we’ll get along just fine!

21 The Class

What should you know already? 22  Basic Imperative Language Concepts  Data types and variable declarations  Console Input and Output  Conditional Constructs (if, if..else, switch/case)  Looping Constructs (for, while, do..while)  Functions

What are we going to do in this class? 23  Intermediate Structured C++ topics  1- and 2-Dimensional Arrays  Searching and Sorting algorithms  Pointers, Arrays vs. Pointers, and Dynamic Memory Allocation  Structures and Structured Data  File Input/Output  Intro Object Oriented Programming  Basic network programming  other fun topics!!!

Programming Environment 24  Eclipse (  CDT – Plug-in for Eclipse that handles C++ projects  Cygwin (

Path to Success in CSE  Attend lecture and lab  Ask questions about things you don’t understand  Do the programming assignments  Think of the programming assignments as time spent studying for upcoming quizzes. They will help you immensely  Don’t wait until the last minute to start – you probably won’t finish.
