Description:
Develops techniques for design and implementation of complex software systems. Topics include object-oriented modeling, design patterns, component libraries, multiple inheritance, parametric polymorphism, generic algorithms, containers, iterators, function objects and storage management. Development of a software system of significant complexity is required.
Assignment Preparation:
Students will be programming in the Linux environment on our department server. Instructions for access and use will be provided in-class. The server can be accessed in the Vassar computer labs, or from the students’ own computers, on or off campus.
It is recommended that students work together in pairs. There will be a few times when students must work alone (a few programs and tests), but in general, the work will go faster and easier when working together.
Assignment Submission:
Students should submit completed homework or laboratory programs electronically as shown in class.
Deadlines and Lateness:
All assignments are due at the start of class on the specified due dates. Late work will be accepted, with a 10% penalty, and only up until the start of the next class. Students’ programs will be graded on functionality, style and documentation.
Grading Policy:
Assignments, Midterm, and Final are each 30% of the final grade.
Classroom Etiquette:
Students are expected to attend all lectures, with exceptions permitted in case of illness and family emergencies. Lectures will begin on time. Students are expected to arrive on time. Students’ cell phones should be turned off during lectures.
Students with Disabilities:
Academic accommodations are available for students with disabilities who are registered with the Office of Disability and Support Services. Students in need of disability accommodations should schedule an appointment with me early in the semester to discuss any accommodations for this course which have been approved by the Office of Disability and Support Services, as indicated in your DSS accommodation letter.
