1 CPT 115 - COBOL Programming I Information Systems Technology Department Semester: Catalog Course Description: This course introduces the nature and use of the common business oriented language--COBOL. Prerequisite(s): CPT 104 or CPT 101 Credit Hours: 3.0 Telephone: (803) 738-7776 E-mail: [email protected] Departmental Website: http://www.midlandstech.edu/edu/ed/ISM/CPT/ Departmental Assistant: Kristine Newton [email protected] Department Chair: Patrick Wright [email protected] Textbook(s): Murach’s Mainframe COBOL, by: Murach, Prince, and Menendez. Murach Publishers. ISBN#: 1-890774-24-3. Equipment: A flash drive to save programs is recommended General Education Core Competency Statement: This course is designed to meet the college’s general education core competency for: Computer Literacy--Graduates should possess the computer skills to locate, retrieve, and synthesize data to create a document or presentation appropriate to the area of study. Course Objectives: Upon completion of this course the student will be able to: 1. Communicate an understanding of basic operations and control structures of the COBOL programming language 2. Write simple, intermediate, and complex COBOL programs using, but not limited to the following: A. Structured Design B. Arithmetic, logical, and relational operations C. Control structures (IF then ELSE, Evaluate, Perform Until) D. Table handling E. File handling Course Outcomes and Competencies: Intended Course Outcome #1: Students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of basic operations and control structures.2 Course Competency: Students will be able to communicate an understanding of basic operations and control structures of the COBOL programming language. Performance Measurement Instrument: A final examination developed by Information Systems faculty based on the course learning objectives will be administered each semester. Intended Course Outcome #2: Students will be able to successfully design, code, compile and run a COBOL program using the following: control structures, arithmetic, logical, or relational operators, subroutines, creation and use of tables. Course Competency: Students will be able to write simple, intermediate, and complex COBOL programs using, but not limited to the following: A. Structured Design B. Arithmetic, logical, and relational operations C. Control structures (IF then ELSE, Evaluate, Perform Until) D. Table handling E. File handling. Performance Measurement Instrument: Students will be evaluated on graded homework programming assignments. Attendance Policy: Students may not miss more than 15% of scheduled classes and attendance assignments, regardless of the reason for the absence. After exceeding this limit, a student will be withdrawn from the class by the instructor. Should the maximum allowable absences be exceeded, a “W” will be submitted to the registrar unless that last absence is after the midterm and the student is failing the course. In that situation, the student will receive a “WF”. Official student holidays and college closings will not count against the student. Semester Type Typical Number of Meetings/Assignments Maximum Allowable Absences Withdrawn After Missing Full Semester 28 4 5 Session I/II 14 2 3 In-Class Roll Taking: Attendance will be taken at the beginning of the class period. Students not answering to the roll call or signing the attendance sheet at that time will be marked absent. Students arriving late may check-in with the instructor after class in order to be marked tardy. Three marks of tardy will count as one absence. Students are required to remain in class until class is dismissed, and will otherwise be marked absent, unless prior arrangements are made in advance with the instructor. Attendance records will not be changed retroactively after the scheduled class meeting. Off-Campus Roll Taking – Internet & Hybrid: Off-Campus Attendance is defined as completing a specific attendance assignment by its due date. Within this syllabus, certain assignments are listed as those attached to attendance roll taking. Failure to complete the attendance assignment by its due date is considered an absence. For Internet only classes all of your attendance is taken with this method. For Hybrid courses, attendance is a combination of scheduled classes and those off-campus attendance assignments.3 Course Grading: To be announced by instructor. Grading Scale: 94-100 A Superior Work 87-93 B Good Work 78-86 C Average Work 0-77 F Unsatisfactory Work Note: Students must earn a grade of “C” or better in all the courses offered within the Information Systems Technology Department for the grade to be counted toward graduation. Course Topic Outline/Course Calendar with Assignments: Will be provided by instructor. College Policies and Expectations http://www.midlandstech.com/edu/ed/ism/cpt/syllabi/AcademicAffairsStudentGuidelines.pdf Disabilities Statement and ADA Compliance Issues: The staff of Counseling and Career Services works to ensure that all educational programming and services are accessible to otherwise qualified students with disabilities. If you have a concern regarding the accessibility of websites, instructional materials, online courses and other electronic or information technology, please contact Counseling and Career Services. It is the student's responsibility to self-disclose as a student with a disability and to request accommodations prior to beginning a program or course. Please contact the staff of Counseling and Career Services at 803-822-3505 (AC) or 803-738-7636 (BC) or via email at [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns. Additional Academic Integrity Language: BE WARNED: This instructor vigorously enforces the "Student Code" as documented in The Midlands Technical College "Student Handbook." It should be noted in particular that programming assignments are designed to develop and measure individual programming skill. Therefore, students must prepare programming assignments on their own, and not treat them as group projects. Students must submit only original, individually prepared work for programming assignments. Under no circumstances, and by no means, should students share program designs or solutions with others, in whole or in part, or use designs or solutions obtained from others, either
