Course Requirements Checklist

After reading the Course Syllabus and Student Expectations, the student will complete the related checklist found in the Course Overview.

Discussions (2)

Discussions are collaborative learning experiences. Therefore, the student is required to create a thread in response to the provided prompt.

Each reply must be at least 250 words. For each thread and both replies, you must have at least 1 citation in current APA format.

Programming Assignments (8)

Using Visual Studio, the student must complete 8 C++ Programming Assignments that will give him or her an opportunity to demonstrate mastery of the lessons learned during the assigned Module: Week. Because the programming assignments become progressively more challenging, specific assignment points will differ.

Quizzes (4)

Each quiz will cover the Learn material for the Module: Week in which it is assigned as well as the preceding Module: Week. Each quiz will be open-book/open-notes, contain up to 75 multiple-choice and true/false questions, and have a time limit of 2 hours.
