Purpose of the Course:
This course is an introduction to the Java programming language. The course assumes previous programming experience equivalent to successful completion of CIS 1033 Fundamentals of Programming. Topics will include what is Java, Java applications and applets, similarities and differences between Java and C++, Object-Oriented Programming, defining a Class, I/O, Expressions, Selection, Loops, Files, Arrays, and Strings.
Course Goals:
1. to learn Java Language programming concepts and techniques;
2. to develop the ability to logically plan and develop programs;
3. to learn to write, test, and debug programs using Java.
Materials: The Java Tutorial Second Edition: Object-Oriented Programming for the Internet, by Mary Campione and Kathy Walrath, 1998, Addison-Wesley Publishing Company. Richard G. Baldwin’s Introduction to Java Tutorials will be used for some of the lectures.
At least two(2) diskettes.
Requirements:
1. Attend all classes.
2. Complete 10 programming assignments.
3. Complete 2 examinations.
4. Seek assistance and ask questions about course material or course
requirements from the instructor as necessary. You are responsible for
all material presented in class and in the labs.
Method of Determining Final Course Grade:
1. Two exams - Average of the two test
2. 10 programming assignments - 4 points subtracted for each missing
lab from the average of the two exams.
Example: 92 average with 4 missing labs would give
92-16= 76 or a "C" for the course.
Programming assignments:
Ten programming assignments will be given during the course. They are
progressive beginning at a moderate level of difficulty and becoming more
complex by semester's end. Programs must produce output before they can
receive a grade. Programming assignments are due at the beginning of class
on the assigned due date. Late assignments will not be accepted
for credit.
NOTE: The Labs for this course are "OPEN". They may be done outside
of the assigned lab time.
Examinations:
Two exams will be given. The first exam will cover lessons 1-8, the second exam will cover lessons 9-16. Exams must be taken on the scheduled dates.
Grading Scale:
90-100 = A
80-89.9 = B
70-79.9 = C
60-69.9 = D
Below 60 = F
A grade of "I" will be assigned at the discretion of the instructor only for extreme emergencies. The instructor will not consider assigning an "I" if the student is not current or if the circumstances are not compelling.
Withdrawal:
A grade of "W" will be assigned if the student initiates a withdrawal through the Admissions and Records office, in accordance with the requirements of that office. Although the instructor has the prerogative to withdraw students for excessive absences or lack of progress, he is under no obligation to do so. It is the responsibility of the student and not the responsibility of the instructor to initiate all withdrawal proceedings. If a student fails to complete the work and also fails to properly withdraw, a grade of A,B,C,D, or F will be assigned in accordance with the work which is completed. Generally those students who simply stop coming to class without proper withdrawal will be assigned an F.
