10.  Analyze, design, code, and debug programs containing data structures and classes. (CCC 1, 2, 5; PGC 1, 2, 4)

Summative Evaluations

Please note: All courses must have a minimum of four summative evaluation measures, and those measures should include a variety evaluation methods (e.g., test, oral presentation, group project). Please list all summative evaluation measures. In addition to these summative measures, a variety of formative exercises/quizzes/other assignments should be used to guide instruction and learning but do not need to be included on this template.

For each measure, please include a scope of the assignment: for example, if requiring a research paper, include the range of required number of words and numbers and types of sources; for a test, include the types and numbers of questions; for a presentation, include the minimum and maximum time, and so on.

CCPO / Evaluation Measures: Include each agreed upon measure and scope of that measure (see above).

FINAL COURSE GRADE

(Calculated using the following weighted average)

Evaluation Measure / Percentage of final grade
Summative: 3-4 Exams (equally weighted) / 30%
Summative: 10-15 Laboratory Experiments (equally weighted) / 40%
Formative: Homework/Pop Quizzes (equally weighted) / 30%
TOTAL / 100%

LIST RELEVANT COURSE POLICIES (e.g., makeup policies for evaluation measures and learning experiences agreed upon collegewide)

Laboratory Experiments will include, but not limited to: writing programs using a high-level language (C Language), that will demonstrate how a compiler works between software and hardware; writing programs that will be used to analyze numerical data, and demonstrate use of algorithms and pseudocode.
