Policy
Policy about Retake of missed assessment items (other than midterm/ final exam) will not be held.
missed For a missed midterm/ final exam, an exam retake/ pretake application along with necessary
assessment evidence are required to be submitted to the department secretary. The examination assessment
items in and retake committee decide the exam retake/ pretake cases.

Course Plagiarism in midterm/ final exam may result in F grade in the course.
Plagiarism Plagiarism in an assignment item (assignments, quizzes & Project) will result in zero marks in that
Policy item. If fore mentioned act is repeated more than once the instructor can refer a case to the
Department Disciplinary Committee (the maximum punishment can be award of 'F' grade in that
course.) or can mark zero in the whole assignment items category.

The course aims to provide students with the ability to analyze the given requirements for
Description solving problems in different domains and to implement the solutions on a computer
system. It mainly emphasizes applying the object-oriented programming (OOP) principles
and the need to separate the interface from the implementation. The students will learn
the syntax and control structures of the C++ programming language for the
implementation.
