Overview: This course exams the nature and structure of data types, computer programming languages, algorithms and program design. While elements common to all languages will be discussed, hands on experience in one language, such as C++, will be provided. 

Integrity: Holy Family University expects of its students the highest standards of integrity in performance of academic assignments. Dishonesty in college work, whether it be quizzes, laboratory work, term papers, examinations, etc, is regarded as a serious offense and may result in failure in the course and dismissal from the college. Anyone who willfully assists another in the breach of integrity is held equally responsible and subject to the same penalty.

Attendance: Holy Family College does not recognize the cut system. Students are expected to attend all classes and laboratory sessions regularly and may not absent themselves except for illness or some other serious matter. Attendance is especially important during the first three weeks of classes. Students may not extend their vacation beyond the date assigned for return to college without the approval of the associate provost for academic student services. Students who do not attend classes during this period may jeopardize their enrollment and may be administratively withdrawn from classes. Such actions may jeopardize their financial aid status as well.

Instructors maintain a record of class attendance. All students are expected to meet their usual class responsibilities until the hour set by the college calendar for the beginning of a vacation period. In any semester, absences equal to twice the number of weekly contact hours of a given class are deemed excessive. Final grades and/or the receipt of academic credit may be effected by excessive absences. In any case in which absences exceed the allotted number, the instructor and the associate provost for academic student services will determine whether circumstances warrant an exception to policy.
