GRADUATE LABORATORY II
(a.k.a PROGRAMMING SEMINAR/OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING IN C++)
Course Description
-
This project-based course is an introduction to object-oriented computer programming directed at solving scientific problems. The student will learn the concepts of object-oriented programming using the most recent C++ programming language standard. Popular project management and modern compilation/build systems will be presented and utilized through the use of an integrated development environment (IDE) like Qt Creator. Fundamentals of streamed input and output, data types, objects and classes, templates, lambda expressions, flow control, repetition, program decomposition and library development, iand software engineering/design conceptsi will be explored. In addition to the base language concepts, students will utilize popular open-source and public-domain libraries such as Boost, Eigen, and OpenCV. (Prerequisites: None) Class 2, Credit 1 (Outline)
Student Ratings of Teaching Effectiveness (SRATE)
The online rating of teaching effectiveness has begun and will continue through the last day of classes.
https://rit.smartevals.com/I know you get a lot of reminders to participate in these evaluations, but I personally wanted to encourage you to take part. The information gathered from these evaluation is important to myself; to know what I am doing well, what I could change, and how you feel about what you are learning in this class. If you could take some time to provide your thoughtful responses, it would be much appreciated.
Best,Carl

It is expected that you will participate during this class in-person as described by the RIT Attendance Policy (RIT Governance Policy D4.0, Section I.B). In the event that you become ill, or can't attend this class in-person for another reason, I will be using Zoom to make this class available both synchronously and as a recorded lecture. While it is my intention to record each lecture, I can't guarentee that the recording technology will work every time or that the lectures will remain archived in cloud storage for extended periods of time.
The Zoom information to connect to the synchronous lecture is
