RE:		ABET Course Reports for COP3330		

Course number: COP3330	
Course name:    Programming I 
Course review committee members: Chris Lacher,Bob Myers
Report submitted date: 12/11/2015 

----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Were there any problems with the coruse last year? If Yes, describe the problems. 

Large numbers of students make teaching the class object oriented programming skills more difficult.  Also, as in COP3014, there 
more instances of cheating.  
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Course committee recommendations to the current/future instructors.

Pretty much same as last year's report. Recommend using MOSS or other 
cheating detection tools regularly, and coordinating with other main 
instructors of the course as to pace/material. Follow curricular file 
syllabus/topics consistently.

Also would recommend looking into C++11 feature updates and decide which 
would be appropriate for this course level -- coordinate with UGCC and 
instructors of COP 4530 to decide where to best teach newer 
language features and/or libraries.

3. Course committee recommendations to department/UCC regarding this course.
