COEN 11 Learning Outcomes

1. Ability to apply the knowledge of C arrays, strings, pointers, dynamic memory allocation and recursion to develop/build software prog rams.
2. Ability to select appropriate program structures like conditionals, loops, pointers and structs to design and implement C programs.
3. Ability to develop a software program in C from a high-level description of an algorithm.
4. Ability to apply debugging and testing skills to build robust programs. Ability to design appropriate tests to ensure that final imp lementations meet their problem requirements.
5. Ability to understand the resources and constraints of the computer hardware in applying pointers and dynamic memory allocation.
6. Ability to develop recursive solutions to inherently recursive algorithms.
7. Ability to document program solutions effectively using comments, indentation and usage guidelines.
8. Ability to organize, develop and maintain programs in multiple files.
9. Ability to discuss and communicate problem requirements and possible solutions.
