Keep handy C++ Program Design, 3rd ed., by Jim Cohoon and Jack Davidson.GradingThere will be 14 labs, 5 or 6 computer projects, 2 tests, and a final exam. In the final average, these will be weighted as follows.Component WeightAverage of labs 20%Average of projects 40%Average of tests 25%Final exam grade 15%LaboratoriesThere will be 14 or 15 laboratories. They will be conducted in class roughly every third or fourth class meeting (not on a special “lab” day). Each lab contains an “Application” section which instructs you to write a program for homework.The applications are due by midnight of the third class day after the lab.Computer ProjectsThere will be 5 computer projects. When you turn in a project, it will be tested using various sets of test data. Then I will read your program carefully to see exactly how you solved the problem.Computer ProjectsI will assign a grade to your project based on the following areas. Design - Did you choose an appropriate method to solve the problem? Implementation - Are your program statements correct? Execution - Did your program produce the correct output for all inputs? Style - Did you follow the guidelines of programming style?Computer ProjectsThese four areas will be weighted as follows.
