Material

Software/ Other Tools/Resources

You must install the Phthon Development Kit (IDK) and an editor to write programs for the class.
You can use whatever editor you prefer. If you don't have a preference, then I suggest jGRASP. It is
Python essential that you install the IDK first, then the jGRASP editor.
Development
Kit For the IDK, go to:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/phthon/downloads/index.html

Download the Java SE (Standard Edition) JDK, version 8 or higher. Install JDK first before proceeding to
download and install jGRASP.

For jGRASP, go to:

Python Editor http://www.jgrasp.org

Click on the Downloads link and download the installation for your platform (Windows, macOS, or
Linux/Unix).
This software is available in JD1104 and in the open computer science labs.

Goals: (Note: Instructor should define it in coordination with HOD/Faculty Committee)

Sr.
Goals
No
It is a programming course designed for students concentrating in Computer Science and related majors and is primarily
1
focused to quickly develop real programming skills.
The course teaches a basic skills in analyzing problems and solving them by finding or creating an appropriate
2
algorithm.
Once an algorithm has been identified, it is translated into an executable application using the Python programming
3
language
4 Python language details will be presented as an essential part of both lecture and lab
5 The lecture component (COMP 110) focuses on concepts and practical examples.
The lab (COMP 110/L) focuses on developing working and correct applications using Python and problem-solving
6
techniques covered in the lecture

Course Objectives: (Note: Instructor should define it in coordination with HOD/Faculty Committee)

Sr.
Objectives
No
1 Demonstrate the knowledge of a computer and operating system—the editing and compilation process.
2 Translate human-readable algorithms represented by pseudocode, flowchart, or flow block diagram to Python.
3 Write and test Python programs using the 4 fundamentals of programming: sequence, choice, loop, and methods.
4 Construct programs that require several methods and good knowledge of passing parameters
5 Demonstrate the knowledge of basic steps of software development: problem statement, program development, testing,
and documentation.
6 Solve problems with one- and two-dimensional arrays.
7 Use basic sorting and searching methods.
8 Apply the class String.
9 Read and write text files. Demonstrate practical using of Exception Handling.
10 Recognize the role of Object-Oriented Programming in software development.
11 Run the examples and exercises studied in the course.
12 Understand the ideas of Polymorphism and Inheritance.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS (Subject to Change)
(Note: Instructor should define it in coordination with HOD/Faculty Committee)

A. Class Attendance:
You are expected to attend class and participate by asking questions, answering questions and contributing to topical
discussions. You are expected to arrive prior to the beginning of class. Class members will be randomly selected to answer
questions and/or help with the solution of exercises.
If you do miss a class, it is your responsibility to ensure that you understand the material covered and the announcements made
in the class you missed. You may not use office hours to have the professor explain the material if you missed the class when it
was discussed.
B. Class Participation:
The following factors will be considered in evaluating class participation:
(1) Attend class sessions and contribute to a positive learning environment,
(2) Ask thoughtful questions,
(3) Participate in discussion,
(4) Prepare for reading and assignments conscientiously.

A positive learning environment results when you demonstrate respect for other students and the instructor, are courteous and
attentive, assist others in learning, attend class regularly, and arrive in class on time.

C. Homework/Assignment:
Doing the homework is essential for success in this course. Throughout the semester, at least 4 Homework/Assignments (5
marks/points each) , 2 before Mid-Term and 2 after Mid-Term will be given.
Homework/Assignment assigned will be discussed in class when time permits; but you may not understand it completely unless
you have already attempted the work. Programming is a discipline that cannot be learned merely by watching; it is learned only
by doing. By attempting each homework problem prior to the class discussion, you can maximize your learning experience and
will be in a position to ask appropriate questions and identify areas where you need help. Accordingly, homework should be
done as instructed before coming to each class.
Incomplete work (or cheating on an assignment) cannot be accepted. Late homework cannot be accepted (as the solution
will be posted right after the collection of the assigned homework).
D. Quizzes
Throughout the semester, at least 4 quizzes (5 marks/points each), 2 before Mid-Term and 2 after Mid-Term will be given in
class on material covered in the previous week(s) to ensure that you are keeping current. There are no make-up quizzes. If you
are not in class on the day of a quiz, you will receive a zero.
E. Exams:
There will be two (2) exams for the semester. All exams are “closed book.” Students will not be given any extended time if
arriving late on that day.

Exams will be a combination of objective questions (e.g., multiple choices, short answer) and numerical problems. To receive
credit for numerical answers, adequate supporting computations (and also explanations if necessary) must be provided.
No makeup exam will be given and the exam will not be administered on any other day!
EVALUATION & GRADING :
(Note: Teacher should modify it as per University/Department Policy in Consultation with HOD/Faculty Committee)

The course grades will be determined by the following:

Components Marks Weight

Mid-Term 100 25%
Lab 100 20 %
Final-Exam 100 30 %
Quizzes (4*5 points) 20 10%
Home Work/Assignment (4*5 points) 20 10%
Attendance 10 5%
Total 100%

Your Responsibilities

1 Arrive on time and do not leave before the end of the class period.
Refrain from causing other distractions (ringing cell phones, talking while others have the floor, etc.). Disruptive
2
students will be asked to leave the class
3 Treat everyone with respect
Be responsible for all assigned materials plus everything covered in class. If you missed classes, make arrangements
4

ACADEMIC HONESTY STATEMENT

Academic dishonesty, which includes cheating, fabrication, facilitation of academic dishonesty, and plagiarism, is a serious
academic offense. A grade of "F" shall be assigned to any student who engages in academic dishonesty in this class, and formal
disciplinary action shall be taken. (Plagiarism in any assignment or cheating in the examinations will result in a grade of F in the
entire course).
