This document outlines the details of a computer engineering course taught by Dr. Hakem Beitollahi at Soran University. It introduces the instructor and provides information on course objectives, syllabus, references, software, career opportunities, prerequisites, evaluation, academic conduct, and availability of help. The course aims to teach object-oriented programming concepts using C# and help students design programs and projects using OOP. It will cover topics like classes, inheritance, polymorphism and file input/output through lectures, assignments, exams and a final project.

I have pdf of all books. You can get a copy of them

6. Software
 Visual studio 2012
 You can borrow the DVD of the software
from me and installed on your own
computer

June 2011, IT jobs within
the UK citing Computer
Science also mentioned
the following
programming languages
in order of popularity.

11. Course Prerequisites
 Prerequisites:
 Introduction to programming
 Who should be taking this course:
 students who want to switch to a computer
science major
 students who are just interested in programming.
 Who should NOT be taking this course
 Students trying to get out of taking a math
requirement. This class may be more difficult than
the math you are trying to avoid.
11

12. What the class is really about
There are two main goals of this course:
1. Basics of C#
2.Core Concepts of Programming Languages
3.Concepts of Object Oriented Programming
plus
2.Learn the Principles of Software
Development
12

13. Evaluation & Grading
 Grade break down to
 Homework 5%
 Class Exams 20% (After finishing each chapter, you
have a long (3 hours) exam)
 Project 15%
 Final Exam 60%
 Late delivery of homework policy
 10% reduction for each day late
 Homeworks take a lot of time, so start them early
 Back up your work. Computer crashes or lost
programs are not valid excuses for not handing in an
assignment.

14. A Word About Cheating
 Discussing homework concepts is fine, but you
must submit your own work.
 If you are caught cheating, 100% you will get 0 out of 40 for the
40% of the course grade.
 Academic Misconduct :
 Running out of time and using someone else's output
 Borrowing code from someone who took course before or has done
the project
 Cheating in exams and assignments
 Etc.

15. Student Civility
 In an effort to make this class enjoyable
for everybody…
 Please be on time to class!
 Please do not talk to your friends and
neighbors in class! It disturbs everyone, and
makes it hard to concentrate. If you have a
question, just ask me!
 Please turn your pagers and cell-phones off!
15

16. Help is always available
 Option 1: Come to my Office
 Location: second floor, lecturer
office
 I get bored when nobody visits!
 Option 2: send your problem by
email to me
 Option 3: ask other lecturer staff
 E,g., M. Fakher, M. Michel, M. Nadim, etc.
 Option 4: ask students of second,
third and fourth years 16
