Course Content
The course covers fundamental C++ programming and Object-Oriented programming and design
techniques. Specically, the following topics will be included:
1.

Object-oriented programming: class abstraction and encapsulation, and class inheritance.

2.

Polymorphism: the power of virtual functions and dynamic binding

3.

Exception handling: how C++ handles exception and how to incorporate exception-handling
capability into programs

4.

I/O: I/O character and binary programming

5.

Operator Overloading: Extending operators to integrate with user-dened classes

6. Templates: building generic classes and functions

Course Grade
The course grade will be calculated as follows:

Completion of MyProgrammingLab (MPL) for each chapter - total 680 pts

12 Programming Projects (PP) @ 100 pts each

Completion of student information forum post - 20 pts

Ongoing and meaningful participation in Discussion Forums - 100 pts

Total Points Possible: 2000

Grading Scale
The standard TCC 90-80-70-60 grading scale will be used.

Course Deadlines
(Deadline is always at midnight on Friday of the indicated week)
MPL = MyProgrammingLab; PP = Programming Project
Deadline #1: Week 4 - MPL for Ch 1-4; PP 1-3

CSCI 2843 Introduction to C++ - Course Syllabus Spring 2016

Spring 2016

CSCI 2843 Introduction to C++

Academic dishonesty (cheating) is dened as the deception of others about ones own work or
about the work of another. Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or tolerated at
campuses within the Tulsa Community College system. Tulsa Community College adopts a policy
delegating certain forms of authority for disciplinary action to the faculty. Such disciplinary actions
delegated to the faculty include, but are not limited to, the dismissal of disrespectful or disorderly
students from classes. In the case of academic dishonesty a faculty member may:

require the student to redo an assignment or test, or require the student to complete a
substitute assignment or test;

Record a "zero" for the assignment or test in question;

Recommend to the student that the student withdraw from the class, or administratively
withdraw the student from the class;

Record a grade of "F" for the student at the end of the semester.

Faculty may request that disciplinary action be taken against a student at the administrative level
by submitting such request to the Dean of Student Services.

Institutional Statement
Each student is responsible for being aware of the information contained in the TCC Catalog, TCC
Student Handbook, Student Code of Conduct Policy Handbook, and semester information listed in
the class schedule. All information may be viewed on the TCC website: www.tulsacc.edu
