Course Outcome (Course Skill Set)

At the end of the course the student will be able to:

CO1: Able to understand and design the solution to a problem using object-oriented
programming concepts.
CO2: Able to reuse the code with extensible Class types, User-defined operators and function
overloading.
CO3: Achieve code reusability and extensibility by means of Inheritance and Polymorphism
CO4: Implement the features of C++ including templates, exceptions and file handling for providing
programmed solutions to complex problems

Programming Assignments:

1. Write a C++ program to sort the elements in ascending and descending order.
2. Write a C++ program to find the sum of all the natural numbers from 1 to n.

3. Write a C++ program to swap 2 values by writing a function that uses call by reference technique.

4. Write a C++ program to demonstrate function overloading for the following prototypes.
add(int a, int b)
add(double a,
double b)

5. Create a class named Shape with a function that prints "This is a shape". Create another class named
Polygon inheriting the Shape class with the same function that prints "Polygon is a shape". Create two other
classes named Rectangle and Triangle having the same function which prints "Rectangle is a polygon" and
"Triangle is a polygon" respectively. Again, make another class named Square having the same function
which prints "Square is a rectangle". Now, try calling the function by the object of each of these classes.

6.Suppose we have three classes Vehicle, Four Wheeler, and Car. The class Vehicle is the base class, the
class Four Wheeler is derived from it and the class Car is derived from the class Four Wheeler. Class Vehicle
has a method 'vehicle' that prints 'I am a vehicle', class Four Wheeler has a method 'Four Wheeler' that prints
'I have four wheels', and class Car has a method 'car' that prints 'I am a car'. So, as this is a multi-level
inheritance; we can have access to all the other classes methods from the object of the class Car. We invoke
all the methods from a Car object and print the corresponding outputs of the methods.
So, if we invoke the methods in this order, car(), Four wheeler(), and vehicle(), then the output willbe

deemed to have satisfied the academic requirements and earned the credits allotted to each subject/ course
if the student secures a minimum of 40% (40 marks out of 100) in the sum total of the CIE (Continuous
Internal Evaluation) and SEE (Semester End Examination) taken together.

Continuous Internal Examination (CIE)

1. For the Assignment component of the CIE, there are 25 marks and for the Internal Assessment Test
component, there are 25 marks.
2. The first test will be administered after 40-50% of the syllabus has been covered, and the second
test will be administered after 85-90% of the syllabus has been covered
3. Any two assignment methods mentioned in the 22OB2.4, if an assignment is project-based then
only one assignment for the course shall be planned. The teacher should not conduct two
assignments at the end of the semester if two assignments are planned.
4. For the course, CIE marks will be based on a scaled-down sum of two tests and other methods of
assessment.
Internal Assessment Test question paper is designed to attain the different levels of Bloom’s taxonomy as
per the outcome defined for the course.

Semester End Examinations (SEE)

SEE paper shall be set for 50 questions, each of 01 mark. The pattern of the question paper is MCQ
(multiple choice questions). The time allotted for SEE is 01 hour. The student has to secure a minimum of
35% of the maximum marks meant for SEE

Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE)

The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam (SEE) is 50%. The
minimum passing mark for the CIE is 40% of the maximum marks (20 marks out of 50) and for the SEE
minimum passing mark is 35% of the maximum marks (18 out of 50 marks). A student shall be deemed to
have satisfied the academic requirements and earned the credits allotted to each subject/ course if the student
secures a minimum of 40% (40 marks out of 100) in the sum total of the CIE (Continuous Internal Evaluation)
and SEE (Semester End Examination) taken together

Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE):

CIE marks for the practical course are 50 Marks.
The split-up of CIE marks for record/ journal and test are in the ratio 60:40.
1. Each experiment is to be evaluated for conduction with an observation sheet and record write-up. Rubrics
for the evaluation of the journal/write-up for hardware/software experiments are designed by the faculty
who is handling the laboratory session and are made known to students at the beginning of the practical
session.
2. Record should contain all the specified experiments in the syllabus and each experiment write-up will be
evaluated for 10 marks.
3. Total marks scored by the students are scaled down to 30 marks (60% of maximum marks).
4. Weightage to be given for neatness and submission of record/write-up on time.
5. Department shall conduct a test of 100 marks after the completion of all the experiments listed in the
syllabus.
6. In a test, test write-up, conduction of experiment, acceptable result, and procedural knowledge will carry
a weightage of 60% and the rest 40% for viva-voce.
7. The suitable rubrics can be designed to evaluate each student’s performance and learning ability.
8. The marks scored shall be scaled down to 20 marks (40% of the maximum marks).
The Sum of scaled-down marks scored in the report write-up/journal and marks of a test is the total CIE marks
scored by the student.
Semester End Evaluation (SEE):
1. SEE marks for the practical course are 50 Marks.
2. SEE shall be conducted jointly by the two examiners of the same institute, examiners are appointed by
the Head of the Institute.
3. The examination schedule and names of examiners are informed to the university before the conduction
of the examination. These practical examinations are to be conducted between the schedule mentioned
in the academic calendar of the University.
4. All laboratory experiments are to be included for practical examination.
5. (Rubrics) Breakup of marks and the instructions printed on the cover page of the answer script to be
strictly adhered to by the examiners. OR based on the course requirement evaluation rubrics shall be
decided jointly by examiners.
6. Students can pick one question (experiment) from the questions lot prepared by the examiners jointly.
7. Evaluation of test write-up/ conduction procedure and result/viva will be conducted jointly by
examiners.
General rubrics suggested for SEE are mentioned here, writeup-20%, Conduction procedure and result in -
60%, Viva-voce 20% of maximum marks. SEE for practical shall be evaluated for 100 marks and scored
marks shall be scaled down to 50 marks (however, based on course type, rubrics shall be decided by the
examiners) Change of experiment is allowed only once and 15% of Marks allotted to the procedure part are
to be made zero.

The minimum duration of SEE is 02 hours
