• Course Outcomes
• Requirements for passing

Course Outcomes

A student who successfully completes this course should be able to:

• Define a class to model and represent an object
• Write code which handles important exception types
• export and import data structures (via file or console I/O) using standard text-based data formats
• write programs that store and manipulate data using the standard abstract data types (lists, stacks, queues, priority queues and dictionaries)
• implement recursive algorithms for simple problems
• implement the standard abstract data types using standard data structures such as arrays, linked lists and trees
• explain and execute by hand the basic algorithms for each of the studied sorting and searching methods

Requirements for Passing

This course is a practical course.  That means you have to pass the practical component (CodeRunner exercises and assignments) as well as the written (test and exam) components.

• CodeRunner Exercises (worth 15%)
• Assignments (worth 10%)
• Test worth 15%
• Final exam worth 60%

 Notes:

• To pass the practical component, you will need to have at least 12.5 out of 25.
• To pass the written component, you will need to have at least 37.5 out of the combined test and exam total of 75.
• You also need an overall mark of at least 50 out the full course total of 100.
