Texts:

Data Structures in C++ Using the Standard Template Library Timothy Budd
ISBN: 0-201-30879-7 Addison Wesley, 1997

Note: This book will serve as a general reference, not as a course textbook.

C++: The Complete Reference 3rd Edition Herbert Schildt

Grading:   There are 3 exams for CTE certification.  Each exam has 2 sections a multiple choice and a practical (programming) part.  For certification, the student must obtain an 80% minimum on each of these 6 tests.  Your CCAC grade will be determined by a grading formula that gives weights to the hw, qz, and ex averages,  (40, 20, 40). Part 3 will be weighted more heavily. ( A > 90;   B>80; C>70, D>60, F <60)

 

Note: Completing this course can provide you with iCarnegie certification (iCarnegie is a CMU for-profit subsidiary) ; however, the requirements are stringent.  iCarnegie has provided grading rubrics which will be adhered to 100%. These grading criterion will be spelled out in class. In addition to class room attendance, you must complete all assignments and quizes. Further, expect to spend a MINIMUM of 10 hours per week in study time.

 

Instructor’s Statement: I am committed to seeing every student in this class become certified.  Do NOT fall behind.  If you are getting into trouble I will be more than happy to assist you.
