CSIS 202 - Intro. to Computer Science II

Course Description

A foundational course for the study of computer and information science. The course covers an overview of programming methodology and gives the student an ability to write computer programs using standard style and structure. Programming projects are completed in one or more high-level languages.

Instructor

Brent Wilson

Text/Lab Requirements

  • CSIS Laboratory Account - $20.00 .

Objectives

The overall goal of this course is to increase your proficiency in computer programming and problem solving for a degree and career in the computer and information sciences. You will learn advanced techniques in problem solving using the language Java. You will develop algorithms and design computer programs using object oriented techniques

Course Organization

Keep up and keep prepared. This class can easily snowball on you (it most definitely has on many students that have come before you).Utilize your resources (upper division majors, myself, Internet) to gain both the theory and practice needed to succeed in this course. A solid mastery of the material covered in CSIS201 will be assumed. This course will require a lot of out of class time. The work load will be similar to CSIS201. Do not wait until you are behind to put in the time needed... it will be too late!!!
 
I do not expect you to give more than 100% towards this class, however I also will accept no less
 

If you have specific physical, psychiatric, or learning disabilities and require accommodations, please contact the Disability Services office early in the term so that your learning needs may be appropriately met. You will need to provide current documentation of your disability to Disability Services. For more information, contact Director of Disability Services.

Grading

One quick note on my grading style... Quality is everything!!! The skills developed in this course set the foundation for the a degree in computer science. It is imperative that you complete this course with 'mastery' of industry standard programming techniques. NO CREDIT will be given to any late work without a previous arrangement.. Incompletes will NOT be given in this class except under EXTREME circumstances.

Grades will be calculated on the following percentage basis:
60% Programs/Projects/Homework
40% Exams (2-quizzes, midterm, & final)(There are NO MAKE-UPS... without a previous arrangement)
 
 

Letter grades will be given on the following scale:
A 100-94
A- 93-89
B 88-82
B- 81-77
C 76-70
C- 69-65
D 64-55
F 54-0
