Title Object Oriented Programming

Code IT-106
Credit hours 3
Prerequisite Programming Fundamentals
Course Description This course provides in-depth coverage of object-oriented programming principles and techniques using
C++. Topics include classes, overloading, data abstraction, information hiding, encapsulation,
inheritance, polymorphism, file processing, templates, exceptions, container classes. The course briefly
covers the mapping of UML design to C++ implementation and object-oriented considerations for
software design and reuse.
The course has a strong practical emphasis, and students will be required to implement OO concepts in
C++ during supervised laboratory sessions and in unsupervised assignment work. In general, each class
will consist of a one and a half hour lecture, and a one and a half hour laboratory session, which will be
held weekly.
This course provides in-depth coverage of OOP using the C++ programming language. At the
Course goal: completion of this course the student should be comfortable coding a program using C++. He or she
will know the strengths and weaknesses of the language.
Students will then be exposed to OO analysis and design. C++ syntax and its idioms will be covered,
with particular emphasis on how to program in C++ with an OO mindset.
Course objective • By the end of the course, students should be able to:
1. create class hierarchies using OOP design
2. understand and apply inheritance techniques to their programs
3. overload and override methods and understand the difference
4. create modular programs using accepted structured programming
• Create and use UML diagrams
• Understand the strengths and weaknesses of OOP programming.
• Use files, both binary and text.

a) The teacher is responsible for the evaluation of work of the students of his/her class
and for the grades on the basis of such evaluation.
b) The number and nature of tests and assignments depends on the nature of the
course. However, there will be at least two tests, mid semester and final
examination in addition to class work.
Evaluation System c) Each course will follow the weight age as under:
Mid term 25%
Sessional work 25%
Final term 50%
d) To pass a course, student must obtain ‘D’ grade (50% marks) with at least 20%
marks separately in (i) mid term + sessional work and (ii) final term.
e) The final term examination will cover the entire course.

49 and below F 0.0 Fail
W Withdrawal
I Incomplete
a) A minimum of 39 contact hour (80 %) are required by the students to be eligible to
Class Attendance sit in the final examination.
b) A candidate with less than 80% of the attendance shall be dropped from the course.
