COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

1.  Analyze algorithms for efficiency.

2.  Use data abstraction as a tool for modeling.

3.  Design the system life cycle through software engineering

   principles.

4.  Construct linked lists, pointers, queues, stacks, and trees as

   abstract data types.

5.  Design and construct iterative approaches to algorithm development.

6.  Evaluate a variety of sorting and searching methods for efficiency.

2.  Write computer programs.

3.  Correct errors in programs with multiple runs of test data.

4.  Write documentation for each program so that is easy to understand

   and use.

5.  Take objective exams.

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 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 20 - 40%
Computer programming assignments
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 0 - 0%
None
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.		Exams 60 - 80%
Multiple choice, True/false, Matching items, Completion, short answer & programming
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.		Other Category 0 - 0%
None
