Data are collected in a time-fixed manner to gain a “snapshot” of health conditions at the particular time in which the observation is made.  

The same participants are followed over a period of time and interviewed more than once during the same period. The addition of multiple data collection time points allows for the determination of changes in health-related outcomes over time.  

A hybrid of cross-sectional and longitudinal designs that corrects for cohort effects, which are the effects of the study that could be due to a group who shares a common characteristic or experience within a defined period.

Description: Relies on the selection of participants on the basis of whether they have or do not have the disease or other health related outcome of interest. Allows the researcher to determine the likelihood of the contribution of exposure, even though assessment only occurs at one time, to the outcome by comparing histories.

The weakest of the true experimental designs and is considered a between subjects design.  

The most effective and rigorous design for testing the efficacy of a health promotion program or treatment because it allows for causal inference and has the highest level of control possible in a real-world setting.

An experimental design that uses subjects as their own controls by exposing the same people to different levels of the independent variable.  

The strongest quasi experimental approach for evaluating the longitudinal effects of interventions. It involves collecting data at multiple instances over time before and after a treatment or intervention to determine whether or not the intervention had an effect over and above any trend present in the data.

The evidence supporting obesity as a risk factor for colon cancer remains inconclusive, especially among women. A study reported the association between obesity (measured at baseline) and colon cancer morbidity as determined from review of medical records and death certificates in a nationally representative cohort of men and women age 25-74 years who participated in the First National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1971 to 1975 and were subsequently followed up through 1992. The following table is from this study for men and women combined.

Write a C++ console program that prompts a user to enter information for the college courses...

Write a C++ console program that prompts a user to enter information for the college courses you have completed, planned, or are in progress, and outputs it to a nicely-formatted table. Name the CPP as you wish (only use characters, underscores and number in your file name. DO NOT use blank).

Its output should look something like this:

 Course     Year Units Grade 
 ---------- ---- ----- ----- 
 comsc-110  2015   4     A 
 comsc-165  2016   4     ? 
 comsc-200  2016   4     ? 
 comsc-155h 2014   4     A
 comsc-260  2017   4     ? 
 bus-90     2015   4     A

Here are the requirements:

  1. Use a struct named Course with the 4 attributes needed for the table, named as you wish.
  2. Use int or double for Units (your choice) and char or string for Grade (your choice).
  3. Use ? or X or some other designation for Grades for courses in progress or planned (your choice).
  4. Track the number of objects in use in the partially filled array -- that is, the size.
  5. Use an object array of capacity 100 in the main program to track up to 100 course objects.
  6. Include table column headings, correctly-spaced.
  7. The total of all column widths should not exceed 80 spaces.
  8. You choose which attributes to left-justify, right-justify, or center.
  9. Use the string buffer method to cin numbers.
  10. Serialize using a text file named "courses.txt". At the beginning of your program, you need to check if this file "courses.txt" exists. If it does, you read the data from this file and copy the data into your array. When your program is run for the first time, this file does not exists. But, it should exist on subsequent runs. Before your program exits, you need to save your course array to "courses.txt" file.
  11. Utilize at least 2 functions.

And for structural requirements:

  1. Never use global variables. Do not use global constants in this one, because they are not needed.
  2. At your option, write a value-returning function of the prototype: Course cinOneCourse(int); to prompt the user for a single course, and return a filled-in Course object. The parameter's value is a sequence number: 0 or 1 for the first student, 1 or 2 for the next -- you decide whether to start at 0 or 1 in the input prompts. In main, copy the returned object to the next unused element of the array. You may use a for-loop in main to manage this.
  3. At your option, write a void function with this prototype: void coutAllCourses(Course[ ], int); to cout the table header and all the in-use elements of the Course object array. Call the function from main, after each time a new course is added to the array. Or write it all in code blocks in main.
  4. To end the for-loop before 100 courses get entered, allow the user to q or Q for the course. In the cinOneCourse function (or code block), skip input of the remaining attributes if the course is lowercase q or uppercase Q. In the for-loop in main that controls all this, break from the loop before calling the coutAllCourses (or code block) again if a q or Q course name is detected, and that ends the program.

Input/Output Sample:

A session might look like this, with user input in bold blue with [ENTER] to signify the Enter or Return key pressed, so that it's easier to see in the sample below. Note that it starts by outputting an empty table:

Course      Year Units  Grade 
----------- ---- ------ ----- 

Enter course #1 [Q to exit]: Comsc-165[ENTER]
What year for Comsc-165? [e.g., 2016]: 2016[ENTER]
How many units is Comsc-165? 4[ENTER]
And what was your grade [? for in-progress or planned]: ?[ENTER]

Course      Year Units  Grade 
----------- ---- ------ ----- 
comsc-165   2016    4     ? 

Enter course #2 [Q to exit]: Comsc-110[ENTER]
What year for Comsc-110? [e.g., 2016]: 2015[ENTER]
How many units is Comsc-110? 4[ENTER]
And what was your grade [? for in-progress or planned]: A[ENTER]

Course      Year Units  Grade 
----------- ---- ------ ----- 
comsc-165   2016    4     ? 
comsc-110   2015    4     A 

Enter course #3 [Q to exit]: q[ENTER]

Because this uses serialization, the above 2 courses should be serialized down (that is, saved) to a TXT file, and serialized up (that is, restored) the next time the program is executed. In that case, the program would start like this:

Course      Year Units  Grade 
----------- ---- ------ ----- 
comsc-165   2016    4     ? 
comsc-110   2015    4     A 

Enter course #3 [Q to exit]:

The user could then quit right away, using the program only to view the already-entered courses, or add to them.

This is just a sample. Yours should work the same way, with the same sequence of inputs (course, year, units, grade), and be nicely formatted and spaced. It should be something you'd be proud to show in a job interview.
