Grading	10% of the final grade will depend on class participation and attendance, 40% of the final grade will depend on programming projects (12—15), 10% on a final project presented to the class, and 40% on three exams including the final. Out of 100 points possible in the course 90 points are required for an A, 80 for a B, 70 for a C, and 60 for a D.
Topics to be Covered	An Overview of C++ Classes and Data Abstraction A Closer Look at Classes Arrays, Pointers, and References Operator Overloading Inheritance Virtual Functions C++ I/O System Templates Exception Handling File Processing Data Structures Software Development Action Diagrams Specification Design Modularization Aesthetic Programs Defensive Programming Stepwise Refinement Program Correctness Testing Performance Analysis
