Course Search
Courses may be offered in one of the following modalities:
- Traditional in-person courses (0–29 percent of coursework is delivered online, the majority being offered in person.)
- Hybrid/blended courses (30–79 percent of coursework is delivered online.)
- Online courses (100 percent of coursework is delivered online, either synchronously on a designated day and time or asynchronously as a deadline-driven course.)
- Hyflex (Students will be assigned to attend in-person or live streamed sessions as a reduced-size cohort on a rotating basis; live sessions are also recorded, offering students the option to participate synchronously or view asynchronously as needed.)
If you are enrolled in courses delivered in traditional or hybrid modalities, you will be expected to attend face-to-face instruction as scheduled.
CSC 270: Survey Of Programming
Languages
3 credits
Students will learn to program in languages from different paradigms (object-oriented, functional, logical, and procedural). Students will know the advantages of different paradigms as applied to different problem domains.
Learning Goals
Students will demonstrate the ability to code in a procedural language by writing C programs utilizing arrays and pointers. Students will practice Object Oriented concepts by coding C++ programs with interacting classes. Coding in Racket will show familiarity with functional coding. Students will be introduced to declarative programming when they design simple Prolog scripts. Students will demonstrate that they can choose the appropriate language for any given assignment by using at least 2 of the 4 course languages for a final puzzle making group project.
