Late Homework Policy: Homework must be turned in on time to receive full grade; One day late – 20% off; Two days late - 50% off; Three days late – 80% off; Homework will not be accepted after three days. Grading scale: A: 90 -100, B: 89 – 80, C: 79 – 70, D: 69 – 60, F: 59 and below. * Purdue University’s new grading scale with + and – will not be used. Student Behavior: Any student caught plagiarizing (copying another student’s work and presenting that work as their own) will be punished to the full extent of University Regulations.) Services for Students with Disabilities: If you have a disability and need assistance, special arrangements can be made to accommodate most needs. Contact the Director of Services for Students with Disabilities (Walb, room 113, telephone number 481-6658), as soon as possible to work out the details. Once the Director has provided you with a letter attesting to your needs for modification, bring the letter to me. For more information, please visit the web site for SSD at http://new.ipfw.edu/disabilities/ Course Outcomes: This course provides EET/CPET majors with a "hands-on" experience in the computer programming, algorithms, and software design using the ANSI C programming language. We emphasize fundamental techniques and strategies for solving scientific and engineering technology problems with computer. A student who successfully fulfills the course requirements will have demonstrated the following knowledge, skills, ability: 1. An ability to use modern C application development tools and good knowledge of C’s keywords, data types and structures, control structures, and program organization (TAC/ABET Criterion 3 Student Outcomes, item a) 2. An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering and technology in problem solving using C programming language (TAC/ABET Criterion 3, item b)
