CIS 122
Intro to Programming and Algorithms
Spring 2010

Course Description

This course is a hands-on introduction to the principles of algorithmic problem-solving using a computer programming language.  An algorithm is a step-by-step problem-solving procedure.  A program is a series of instructions that a computer can interpret and execute.  The course is intended for students with no prior programming experience in any language.  Students will learn how to solve problems with the computer by writing programs in an object-oriented language (C++) using an integrated development environment (IDE).  CIS 122 is in the Science Group and meets the math/computing requirement for the Bachelor of Science degree.  Requires computer-laboratory work in addition to regularly scheduled hours.
