Untitled document
To be successful, students should be able to:
1.  Discuss the topics listed in the Course Description, comparing and
   contrasting major results.
2.  Appreciate the significance of this mathematics in the solution of
   important problems, for success in future work in mathematics, in
   applications to other disciplines, and as historical contribution.
3.  Demonstrate competence in the skills from the topics detailed in
   Course Content.
4.  Formulate a strategy to solve stated problems, choose and apply the
   appropriate skills, carry out the solution with correct units of
   measure, and estimate results to verify answers to the satisfaction
   of the responsible professional staff.

Topics and Scope
Untitled document
1.  General.
    Text entering and editing, loading and saving programs, using
    peripheral equipment.
2.  Basic Language.
    Subroutines, functions (numeric, string, user-defined), operators
    (relational, Boolean), file operations, arrays, random numbers,
    data types.
3.  Programming Techniques.
    Flowcharting, structured constructs, top-down design, modular
    programming, menu-driven design, interative programming, signal
    data, validation of user input, hand-tracing and debugging, extended
    accuracy, nested loops, iterative techniques, sorting, binary search.

Assignments:
Untitled document
1.  The student will have daily outside reading, problem set assignments
   from required text(s), or instructor chosen supplementary materials.
2.  Instructional methodology may include, but not limited to: lecture,
   demonstrations, oral recitation, discussion, supervised practice,
   independent study, outside project or other assignments.

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.
Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.Writing
0 - 0%
None
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments and skill demonstrations are more appropriate for this course.
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.Problem Solving
50 - 75%
Lab reports, Exams
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.Skill Demonstrations
10 - 25%
Performance exams
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.Exams
