Attendance and Participation

15

For this class, Lab is Mandatory. Participating in class and lab is essential and required. Your final grade will also reflect the amount of time

spent outside class/lab. Expect to spend 8 – 12 hours per week on work outside this class.

You also don’t want to miss those extra bonuspoints that pop up here and there

Academic Ethics

16

In General, you are expected to create, edit and print out YOUR OWN assignments and take tests without outside assistance. All work is expected to be your own.

This class will have a some amount of group work. Each team member is fully responsible for knowing the

details of the complete implementation and must be able to explain/defend their group’s solution.

Academic Ethics

17

For Individual Work: You should never look at or review another person’s work

for any given assignment; that includes looking at papers or even at the computer screen where student work is displayed.

You should never give an answer to or receive an answer for an assignment, or any parts of any assignment, from another person; again, that includes source code, design documents, homework, etc.

Academic Ethics

18

If you violate the collaboration policy for a graded assignment as in the example activities noted above, you will receive an F in the course. (Penalties may be less severe as decided by Prof. Fontenot).

Academic Ethics

19

You may be brought to the Honor Council for any act of Academic Dishonesty – either giving or receiving solutions

Academic Ethics Recap

20

Do your own work and we’ll get along just fine!

What are we going to do in this class?

23

Intermediate Structured C++ topics 1- and 2-Dimensional Arrays Searching and Sorting algorithms Pointers, Arrays vs. Pointers, and Dynamic Memory Allocation Structures and Structured Data File Input/Output Intro Object Oriented Programming Basic network programming other fun topics!!!

Programming Environment

24

Eclipse (www.eclipse.org) CDT – Plug-in for Eclipse that handles C++ projects Cygwin (www.cygwin.com)

Path to Success in CSE 1341

25

Attend lecture and lab Ask questions about things you don’t understand Do the programming assignments

Think of the programming assignments as time spent studying for upcoming quizzes. They will help you immensely

Don’t wait until the last minute to start – you probably won’t finish.
