CIS-022C-01Y: HYBRID, meets on-campus and online. This class meets each week on campus and online as noted in the class listing. This is an “AI optional” section, and student assignments will be accepted in either C++ generated directly by the student or through the student’s use of AI (VIBE coding) in accordance with the set of AI Usage Guidelines associated with this section. The ability to read and understand C++ code is essential as all class example code will be in that language. Students must have access to a computer, the internet and an individual email address. Most De Anza classes will use the Canvas course management system. We recommend a laptop or desktop computer to successfully complete the course; a tablet or phone may not be adequate for all assignments and tests.
