Course Description:
|
Emphasizes
object-oriented design, data abstraction and programming (in Java) beyond an
introductory level. Introduces user
interfaces and graphics through the study of object design. Explores the social implications of
computing. Emphasizes object-oriented
software engineering including UML.
Investigates fundamental sorting and searching algorithms,
introductory dynamic data structures and event driven programming
techniques. Develops programming
skills using a language that supports the object-oriented paradigm (Java). |
Core Learning
Outcomes:
By
the completion of the course students will be able to:
|
1.
Use object-oriented techniques to design solution
algorithms |
|
2.
Evaluate algorithms in terms of complexity,
completeness, accuracy and correctness |
|
3.
Develop various fundamental algorithms that manipulate
objects and data structures |
|
4.
Develop event-driven computer programs |
|
5.
Use a programming language (Java) that supports the
object-oriented paradigm |
|
6.
Discuss the social implications of computing and
computer programming. |
Additional
Outcomes:
|
7.
Discuss the differences between object oriented and
procedural design |

Assignments: All
assignments must be prepared on computer and be neatly organized. To receive credit for an assignment, the
assignment must: A. make
use of good structure and appropriate design technique B. use appropriate indentation for all
pseudocode and coding C. adhere to project specifications
(these may be given during lecture) D.
use neatness in preparation E.
include all appropriate documentation and test data
with results. A project that only solves the problem in a
minimal manner will receive a “C” grade.
Higher grades are reserved for exceptional effort. Assignments will NOT be accepted after the
last class. Make Up Exams and
Quizzes: If it is
necessary to miss an exam or quiz, you will be allowed to take a MAKE-UP ONLY
if you have a valid excuse and have notified your instructor beforehand. Failure to follow this procedure may
result in NO MAKE-UP EXAM! The type of
make-up exam is left to the instructor's discretion and may include an essay
style exam.

Each
student will receive a progress report during the third week of class. Please feel free to discuss any concerns
regarding the course with me during office hours. |
|
Students in this class are expected to
assume responsibility for attending class, 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 and on-line participation are required in order to complete
course work satisfactorily. Students are
expected to start and complete every class on time. Students that attend regularly will be
better prepared to complete testing and lab requirements. The class attendance policy for this class
is: Class attendance is required. Failure to attend sessions does not excuse
a student from completing assignments, examinations, 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. |
|
1.
All e-mail to your instructor should be sent from
Blackboard and Blackboard must use your MyFCC e-mail address. This should avoid accidental spam
filtering. 2.
Each e-mail message must pertain to only one topic and
the subject line should contain the name of the assignment. E-mails should
contain only one topic (e.g., Clarify the use of
Polymorphism via Interfaces for Assignment 4.) 3.
Examples of proper subject lines: a.
CIS_201_HYB1_SUMM09_SESS8W: Question about Assignment 1 b.
CIS_201_HYB1_SUMM09_SESS8W: Question about grade on
Assignment 4 c.
CIS_201_HYB1: Missed
class on Tuesday 4.
The student should expect to receive a reply to electronic
communications within 24 to 48 hours, not including weekends. 5.
Assignments will be submitted via Blackboard unless
otherwise instructed. |
|
Java 5.0 (6.0 is optional) and an approved
VATE or IDE will be required.
Additional requirements will be discussed in class. |
|
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. If students work
together, they are expected to each be working on separate computers and
completing assignments on their own. Two
students who work together but submit two copies of the same assignment (even
if minor changes like names are made) are plagiarizing. 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. |
Students with
Disabilities
|
If
you currently receive services from the SSD office, please submit your
Student Success Plan to me and make an appointment with me to discuss your
accommodations and needs in class. I
will hold any information you share with me in strict confidence unless you
give me permission to do otherwise. |

Proficiency
with Microsoft Word or Open Office and a Java capable web browser (Netscape,
Firefox or Internet Explorer preferred), Microsoft Word, Java 5.0+ JDK. All
required software is available for use in the open computer laboratory
(C-207) and some software is provided with the book or available for free
download. Additional software
requirements will be discussed on-line and during the weekly class meetings. |
