‫أهداف المادة الدراسية ونتائج التعلم والمحتويات اإلرشادية‬

1. To develop problem solving skills and understanding of programming

principles.
Module Aims 2. To understand the logic behind programming.
3. This course include using C++ as a programming language.
‫أهداف المادة الدراسية‬ 4. This course include algorithm design.
5. To understand how a programmer should prepare his work and think
logically.
6. To perform programming project using control statements, functions, and to
deal with the data stored in an array or file.

1. Use of algorithms (Flowchart specifically).

2. Explain how the program is written using C++ Programming language.
3. Define and use of variables (Data types, Declaration of variables).
4. Use of operators and its precedence (Assignment, Arithmetic operators,
Relational and Logical operators, Bitwise Operators, Increment and
Module Learning decrement, Cast operator, and Conditional operator).
5. Making Decisions (use of: if, if-else, and switch statements) and draw of
Outcomes
Flowchart of if-else statement.
6. Use of Loops (for, while, do-while), and use of break and continue statements
with loops, and draw of Flowchart of loops.
‫مخرجات التعلم للمادة‬ 7. Use of Arrays (one and two dimensional).
‫الدراسية‬ 8. Use of Functions (Built-in function functions (Library functions), and User-
Defined functions).
9. Use of arguments passed by value and by reference, and use of Local and
global variables.
10. Use of Character sequences and string handling.
11. Handling and processing text files in C++.

Learning and Teaching Strategies

‫استراتيجيات التعلم والتعليم‬

The main strategy that will be adopted in delivering this module is to encourage
students’ participation in learning and developing their skills in programming and
logic thinking, while at the same time refining and expanding their critical thinking
Strategies
skills. This will be achieved through classes, interactive tutorials and by considering
type of lab experiments involving assignments and project design activities that are
interesting to the students.

Grading Scheme
‫مخطط الدرجات‬
Group Grade ‫التقدير‬ Marks (%) Definition
A - Excellent ‫امتياز‬ 90 - 100 Outstanding Performance
B - Very Good ‫جيد جدا‬ 80 - 89 Above average with some errors
Success Group
C - Good ‫جيد‬ 70 - 79 Sound work with notable errors
(50 - 100)

E - Sufficient ‫مقبول‬ 50 - 59 Work meets minimum criteria
Fail Group FX – Fail )‫راسب (قيد المعالجة‬ (45-49) More work required but credit awarded
(0 – 49) F – Fail ‫راسب‬ (0-44) Considerable amount of work required

Note: Marks Decimal places above or below 0.5 will be rounded to the higher or lower full mark (for example a
mark of 54.5 will be rounded to 55, whereas a mark of 54.4 will be rounded to 54. The University has a policy NOT
to condone "near-pass fails" so the only adjustment to marks awarded by the original marker(s) will be the
automatic rounding outlined above.
