Course Description:
|
Introduces
the fundamental concepts of design and programming from an object-oriented
perspective. Topics include object design, simple data types, control
structures, and simple array and string data structures. Debugging techniques and various algorithms
will be investigated. The course
emphasizes good software engineering principles including an introduction to
object design using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Fundamental programming skills will be
developed using a language that supports the object-oriented paradigm. This course is for majors or non-majors
with little or no programming experience. |
Core Learning Outcomes:
By
the completion of the course students will be able to:
|
1.
Demonstrate college-level communications
skills by: Explaining the basic concepts
and vocabulary of computer information systems in effective, clear and
grammatically correct English Ø
Writing documentation Ø
Participating in Structured
Walkthroughs and discussion boards |
|
2.
Demonstrate critical thinking by: Ø
Using a computer with appropriate
software to design and implement object-oriented computer programs Ø
Designing programs that use typical control structures and various data types Ø
Implementing simple object-oriented
programs Ø
Debugging errors within the design or
implementation of the solutions Ø
Creating simple Unified Modeling
Language diagrams to design object-oriented solutions |
|
3.
Demonstrate an understanding of
technology and its uses by: Ø
Relating the development of the
computer and the way in which the computer has changed society Ø
Using appropriate computer terminology
related to hardware, software and communications Ø
Using a computerized spreadsheet and
programs to solve algebraic problems |
|
4.
Understand and be able to interpret
social and educational values by: Ø Evaluating
current articles on issues related to the impact of computers on the
economic, political and cultural development of society Ø Writing
and participating in discussion board conversations on the current issues Ø
Displaying an understanding of
academic honesty and copyright law |
|
5.
Demonstrate Computer Literacy by: Ø
Using application software where
appropriate to solve problems Ø
Integrating data from one application
into another Ø
Describing software development

Students
will receive some form of assessment of their progress in the course no later
than the sixth week of the course. |
|
Students in this
class are expected to assume responsibility for attending class (including
making discussion board postings), their behavior during class sessions and
their desire to learn. Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. The majority of
students will find that class attendance is required in order to complete
course work satisfactorily. Students
are expected to start and complete every class on time. Students that attend sessions regularly
will be better prepared to complete testing and lab requirements. The class attendance policy for this class
is: Class
attendance (both on-line and on-campus) is required. Failure to attend sessions does not excuse
a student from completing assignments, tests, or other requirements of the
course on time. Excused absences
include illness (with doctor's note), emergencies, religious holidays, and
official College functions. Late
assignments may not be accepted or may have a percentage (amount to be
determined by the instructor) docked from the score. |
|
Software
requirements will be discussed on-line and during various on-campus (e.g.,
orientation) sessions. |
|
Software that is
copyrighted is intended for use in its original form. Duplicate copies can be produced only if
written the manufacturer grants permission.
The |
|
Each student is expected to perform
his/her own academic work. Plagiarism
and other forms of academic dishonesty are considered an extremely serious
offense. The student is personally responsible for understanding the various
forms of academic dishonesty as they are explained in the "Student Code
of Conduct" in the Student Handbook.
Ignorance of any requirement for academic honesty will not constitute
an excuse from disciplinary proceedings. Any form of cheating will be
considered grounds for failure of the course. |
|
The instructor reserves the right to
adjust the assignments or schedule.
This may also change the date(s) of one or more of the exams. Any affected assignment due dates may also
be adjusted. In the event the schedule
is adjusted, the student will remain responsible for all the assignments
listed in this syllabus. |
|
No Food or Drinks are
allowed in the computer labs or classrooms. FCC is a smoke-free campus. Smoking is permitted only in outdoor
designated areas. |
