| Description | Component-based software from implementer's perspective; container components, including lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs; data representation using layering and using pointers; introduction to algorithm analysis. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites: | Math 165 (recommended) and C SC 160. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Text | Data Structures And The Java Collections Framework, William Collins. McGraw-Gill 2002. ISBN: 0-07-236964-7 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Objectives | Specific chapters we will cover from our textbook are 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, and 14. Also, we will look at material from Appendix 3. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Labs | We will do lab exercises that are distributed with our book. They support the topics covered in our textbook. We may also do additional lab exercises and projects. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Participation | We pose and solve problems in a social context. Therefore, we need each other. This need is the reason we have classroom sessions. Attendance is required. Each student is expected to participate in the class discussions throughout the quarter. To this end, all assigned readings for each week should be completed before the class period in which they are discussed. A deduction of 3% will be taken from the student's overall average for each unexcused absence in excess of two. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Work Load | "Students are expected to spend three hours per week (including class hours) in study for each quarter hour of credit attempted." (From p. 229 of the Otterbein College Bulletin, Vol. LXXXVIII.) Since C SC 205 is 4 (Quarter) Credit Hours, 12 hours of study per week is expected: 6 hours in class and laboratory, and 6 hours beyond class hours. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Exams | Midterm exam dates will be announced in class. The final exam is scheduled for Wednesday, November 21, 8:00 - 10:00 in our regular classroom. It will be comprehensive. If you can't make an exam, let me know in advance so we can make arrangements. Makeup's will be given only in exceptional circumstances. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Academic Misconduct Policy |
All members of the Otterbein College community of
learners are expected to follow the rules and customs of proper
academic conduct. Proper conduct includes avoiding academic
misconduct as defined in the Campus
Life Handbook (see Plagiarism, Cheating and Dishonesty, page
61). Students are encouraged to help each other learn the course
material. Unless specifically prohibited, you may discuss
homework problems and lab exercises with one another.
Participants in these discussions usually enjoy the benefit of
deeper and greater learning. However, all work submitted for
evaluation that is based on discussions with others must be your
own work; created with your own hands and fingers while thinking
it through.
Any work submitted for evaluation that includes work done by another, copying of another's work, or the result of following another's step-by-step keystrokes and mouse clicks, is a case of academic misconduct. When academic misconduct is found in any assignment or examination you submit, you will receive a zero grade for that assignment or exam. The misconduct will also be reported to the Office of the Academic Dean. If a previous academic misconduct offense is on your record, you will receive a grade of F for this course and a referral to the judicial system. |
