II. Course Title : Programming 1
III. Credit : 3 units
IV. Pre-Requisite : None
V. Date of Revision : June 13, 2014
VI. Course Description : This course covers all topics in C++ programming in
preparation for advance programming languages. With C++ as the programming
tool, all the basic commands and functions will be covered. Programming
exercises will be given to allow the students to apply the concepts tackled in class.
VII. General Objectives :
At the end of the course, the students are expected to:
1. Be equipped with appropriate knowledge in C++ computer programming to organize their thoughts and
structure the programs well.
2. Develop among them the ability to create well-designed programs.
3. Apply different techniques in solving programming problems.
4. Use their analytical ability in creating programs that will cater to real-life situations or concerns.
5. Develop the values of preparedness, thoroughness and the need to be organized and patient in
everything that they do.
