CSC 300

The final in the three C++ classes, Advanced C++ or Object Oriented Programming.

Course Description
An introduction to the object-oriented programming (OOP) paradigm and advanced techniques of the C++ language. Provides an overview of object-oriented problem solving as well as OOP concepts such as abstract data types and classes, type hierarchies (subclasses), inheritance and polymorphism.

Usually in programming classes your grade is very reliant on the homework, but in this one it isn't so much. A full 30% of my grade is showing up for a lecture once a week and answering discussion questions on the class message board. Puts less of an emphasis on the homework which I'm not sure I agree with but lets me pad my grade a bit so hey.

Unfortunately my midterm and final are each worth 25% of the grade and that is worrying. I don't test well in these things, I do the homework well. Different approach this month and huge midterm and final stress, but part of this school thing is adapting and learning to do this differently.
