6. Course Objectives Introduce students to fundamental data structures; their algorithms, implementations and applications. Teach students how to analyze the efficiency of the fundamental data structures in terms of both time and space so that they are able to decide what data structure is suitable for a given problem. 6

7. Course Learning Outcomes After completion of this course, the student shall be able to: apply object oriented concepts (inheritance, polymorphism, design patterns, etc.) in software design. implement various data structures and their algorithms, and apply them in implementing simple applications. analyze simple algorithms and determine their efficiency using big-O notation. apply the knowledge of data structures to other application domains like Graphs, Trees and Hashing. 7

10. Notes All course material will be made available at URL: http://www.ccse.kfupm.edu.sa/~ics202. http://www.ccse.kfupm.edu.sa/~ics202 Attendance will be checked each class. An unexcused absence can become an excused absence ONLY by an official letter from the Dean of Student’s office. Students are expected to be courteous toward the instructor, the lab instructor and their classmates throughout the duration of this course. All cell phones and pagers must be turned off during class and exams. 10

11. Notes Soft copies of homework assignments (according to the instructions given with each assignment) are to be submitted, through Blackboard Assignment Submissions, by the due date and time indicated. No late homework will be accepted. Discussing questions among your classmates and on Blackboard is highly encouraged. Copying homework solutions from each other is NOT permitted and will be considered CHEATING. Material covered in homework assignments, which maybe outside the material presented in class, are required to be mastered by the students and can be tested on in quizzes, major exams and/or final exams. Active Participation will be assessed in the form of 0.5% for each correct and/or fruitful participation in class discussions and/or on Blackboard discussions list. These participations will be clearly announced during class and on Blackboard. 11

12. Notes (Cont.) 24-Hour Policy: One has 24 hours to object to the grade of a homework, quiz or a major from the end of the class time in which the graded exam/homework papers have been distributed. If for some reason you cannot contact the instructor within this period, send him an email requesting an appointment. The email should be sent within the 24-hour time period. Exams, homework assignments and quizzes are generally CHALLENGING. Check the Blackboard course page and the ICS 202 Webpage regularly for announcements and updates. 12
