3. 計算機概論- 資工一甲 Syllabus Course Objectives 1. To help students understand the basic concepts of all areas in computer science. The breadth topics in computer science. We emphasize the concepts rather than the mathematical model. 2. To explain the basic understanding of data manipulation, data representation, Computer hardware, Computer software and so on. 3. To understand the basic terms that is used in many areas of computer science. This course is designed to serve as a basic foundational course in computer science field. Finally it is mainly designed for the 1st year computer science and information Engineering students to give a start and help understand the basic concepts in computer science field. Each chapter is designed to present certain concepts that are basis in computer science field.

6. Homeworks 15 Pts Quizzes 25 Pts (2 or 3) Mid-term Exam 30 Pts. Final Exam 30 Pts Activity Points Total 100 pts 計算機概論- 資工一甲 Syllabus Grading Policy: Class attendance is mandatory. If you are absent more than 5 classes without permission, you are likely to fail in the course. Class attendance will be taken any time during class hours. The final grade will be composed of the following weights.

7. 計算機概論- 資工一甲 Syllabus Exams and Quizzes: Exams will cover lecture notes, textbook materials, homework materials and quizzes. There will definitely be two or more quizzes in this course. It is to test your basic understanding of the course and also to help you study during the semester. Exam or Quiz Consideration: Documented crisis or one week’s prior notice required for consideration of exam or quizzes make-up.

8. 計算機概論- 資工一甲 Syllabus Homework Policy: Homework Policy: Several home works will be assigned throughout the term. Home works are due at the start of the class on the due date. (Kindly note very carefully) After two weeks of the due date, homework will not be accepted. If you pass the due date and the time, 30% will be detected. Copying of the homework will be penalized resulting in failing of the course. Turn in Policy: Turn in all your work to the instructor, preferably before class. Make sure that the work is done on your own without discussing with other classmates. Refer to the Academic Honesty below.

9. 計算機概論- 資工一甲 Syllabus Absence and Participating Policy: Absence and Participating Policy: Class attendance and effective, constructive participation is important to your performance in the course and makes up a portion of the grade based on the instructor’s discretion. If you cannot make it to the class on the date something is due, please make arrangements to have someone else bring your assignment to me before or at the start of the class. Also note the exam absence policy mentioned earlier. Don’t wait for the last day to cover up all the materials. It will be too hard.

10. 計算機概論- 資工一甲 Syllabus Academic Honesty: Academic Honesty: Follow the University policy on academic honesty.

12. 計算機概論- 資工一甲 Syllabus Chapters to be covered Materials that will be covered during the semester. Since we have two semesters of Introduction to computer science, it is hard to say at this time how many chapters will be covered during this semester. It is all depend on the number of students present and the participation of the students in the class.

13. 計算機概論- 資工一甲 Syllabus What will be covered during this semester? Introduction Number systems Data Storage Operations on Data Computer Organization Computer Networks Operating systems Algorithms Programming Languages
