CSC 322: Programing 3: Advanced Data Structures: 3 hours

Description

Goals for CSC 322 are:

1. Further develop programming skills
2. Learn and use different data structures
3. Enhance team development skills

Course outcomes for CSC 322 are:

• be able to appropriately use data structures found in a language’s API
• be able implement different data structures on their own
• be able to use complex and efficient sorting algorithms
• be able to do algorithm analysis

Program outcomes for CSC 322 are:

1. Analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions. (Computing student learning outcome 1)
2. Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline. (Computing student learning outcome 2)
3. Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts. (Computing student learning outcome 3)
4. Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal, ethical, and moral principles. (Computing student learning outcome 4)
5. Learn new areas of technology. (Computing student learning outcome 6)
6. Apply computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions. (Computer Science student learning outcome 1)
7. Support the delivery, use, and management of information systems within an information systems environment. (Computing and Information Systems student learning outcome 1)
8. Apply security principles and practices to maintain operations in the presence of risks and threats. (Cyber Security student learning outcome 1)

Integration

1. Self learning by learning on additional data structure and developing a program using it.
2. Technical writing by submitting high caliber software development reports
3. Team skills by working on teams with at least two programs
4. Professional by doing assigned learning tasks in a timely manner
5. By implementing secure programming in each program and reporting on it and also existing security weaknesses.
6. Ethics by writing a report about the ethical components of associated with two programs developed

Additional course goals

• Stacks, Queues, Linked List, Intro to C
• Trees: huffman encoding
• Sorting: tracking time with external sorts

Extra credit

• Extra credit will only be made available based on the entire class needs. Such as an exam that most people did poorly on despite a good effort. Also each lab may have the opportunity to earn some extra credit. That should only be attempted if the regular lab is completed and done well.

Grades

• Grade scale
  • 93% <= average <= 100% -> A

Campus Integrity Policy

1. A student found guilty of plagiarism or cheating will receive an “F”(zero) for that particular paper, assignment or exam. Should this occur, the professor will have an interview with the student and will submit a written report of the incident to the academic dean.
2. If a second offense should occur, the student will be asked to appear before the professor, the academic dean and the vice president for student development.
   
   

The student should realize that at this point continuation in a course and even his/her academic career may be in jeopardy. In the event of a recommendation for dismissal, the matter shall be referred to the Student Development Committee.”

AI Use Policy

It is expected that any coursework (including, but not limited to, essays, papers, exams, projects, and lab reports) submitted by a student will be a product of their own creation, demonstrating their achievement of the learning outcomes related to the assigned task. With this in mind, note that submitting work that includes unauthorized or undocumented use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be considered as cheating or plagiarism. If you are unsure about appropriate use of AI on a given assignment, talk with your professor.
