Course Objectives CS 201 seeks to teach its students basic programming skills using a structured high-level language. Specifically a successful student will have the ability to: • Perform basic input and output. • Declare and use variables of the primitive types. • Use control statements including conditionals (if, if-else), and iteration (while, for, do-while). • Call and write functions using parameters. • Declare and use arrays. 2

Key Policies and Student Responsibilities Workload: This course entails a fair amount of work in homework assignments and class preparation. You should be prepared to spend several hours every week doing homework assignments and preparing for classes. Late Policy: Homework assignments are only accepted late when an extension has been granted to the entire class. You are strongly advised to start early on the homework assignments. Unfortunately, computer systems sometimes go down before an assignment is due. You need to plan for these, and other, unexpected events. Homework assignments are not accepted after the due dates. Make-up Policy: Failure to attend an exam without substantial and verifiable cause will not in any way warrant a make-up. The exam dates are posted below, please plan accordingly. Also students must contact their instructor as soon as possible to be eligible for a make-up. Accommodations and Religious Obligations: Please see the official UWM policy statement for complete descriptions.

Course Home Page Assignment descriptions and some other course handouts are distributed via the CS201 course home page on the Web. The home page will also have an up-to-date version of this syllabus (office hours and locations can change). The url for the home page is:

Prerequisite • Competence in intermediate algebra as demonstrated by either – Qualified to take Math 116 or an equivalent course. – A score of 35 or higher on the UWM Math Placement Test. To be ready to take CS 201, a student must be comfortable with intermediate algebra (as taught in UWM’s Math 105) because basic programming requires writing formulas that are very similar to algebra problems. If you have any questions about this prerequisite, please feel free to talk to your instructor.

Course Materials Required Text: • Dean and Dean. – Introduction to Programming with JAVA, A Problem Solving Approach – Second Edition – McGraw-Hill (Higher Education), 2014 – ISBN 978-0-07-337606-6 MHID 0-07-337606-x 3

Grading • Programming Assignments (8 or more) = 10% of course grade. The lowest single assignment score will be dropped. • Lab Exercises (8 or more) = 10% of course grade. The lowest single lab score will be dropped. • Lab Quizzes (8 or more) = 20% of course grade. The lowest single quiz score will be dropped. • In Class Examinations (3): – Midterm I = 18% of course grade. – Midterm II = 18% of course grade. – Final = 24% of course grade. • Course letter grades will be assigned using the following scale, unless we decide that this scale is too severe, in which case we will adjust the scale downward.

Programming Assignments Most weeks you will be given a problem description / specification which you are to write a computer program which solves the problem / satisfies the specification. Large portions of the quizzes and exams will test your understanding of course material that is illustrated in these assignments. Each program will be graded on a 10-point scale. You are allowed to work together (collaborate) on the Weekly assignments, however you alone are responsible to make sure that you understand not just the specifics of a particular assignment solution, but the general use of the programming constructs used in that solution - which shall be tested on quizzes and examinations. In other words, you should strive to be able to write your programs with minimal to no collaboration with others. Program descriptions, their due dates, and their grading rubrics are posted on the course home page weekly. You will ”hand in” your program solutions by means of D2L’s Drop Boxes.

Lab Exercises Many weeks you will be given a lab exercises to be completed during your lab time. The lab exercises will be counted as completed or not completed.

Lab Quizzes Most weeks you will be given a quiz in your lab section, except when you have a midterm in the same week. The quizzes cover material from recent lectures and homework assignments. Each quiz will be graded on a 10-point scale.

Examinations You will take two midterms and a final examination, which will be based on the material covered by lectures, assignments, labs, quizzes, and the Dean and Dean textbook. The midterm examinations will be held at your normal lecture time in your normal lecture room, the examinations are closed notes and book. 4

The final examination will be held at a time and location to be annouced in lecture and on the course home page when it is known, this examination is also closed notes and book.
