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

Instructional Methods:

Posted examples, discussion board, in-class labs, software exercises and hands-on activities.

Texts and Materials for Course:

A portable USB storage device (e.g., "pen" drive) is required to save your files.

Additional materials will be provided by the instructor in electronic form.

Progress Report:

You will receive your progress report no later than the end of the third week of the semester. Your grade book in Blackboard will have all your graded activities and represents your progress report. However, feel free to discuss any problems or conflicts concerning this course with your instructor at any time.

* Note: It will be necessary to hand in all project assignment parts to receive an “A” grade in this course.
Makeup Tests It is a policy to not issue makeup tests or quizzes for this course. If, for extraordinary circumstances, a makeup test or quiz is permitted (arrangements must be made in advance) and the type of makeup test or quiz is left to the instructor's discretion and may include essay questions. Assignments Unless otherwise instructed, all assignments are due by 8am on their due dates and are to be submitted via Blackboard, not e-mail. If an assignment is late, ten percent (10%) will be deducted for each calendar day it is late. Late assignments will be accepted ONLY at the instructor’s discretion and provided that the assignment has NOT been graded and has NOT been returned to the class. Absolutely no work will be accepted after the last class.

Codes of Academic Integrity and Student Conduct

Students are required to uphold the Code of Academic Integrity and the Code of Student Conduct. Students who violate either of these codes may receive a failing grade in the class. Information about these codes and other student policies, procedures, and penalties is available on the Student Policy and Procedures web page at http://www.frederick.edu/student_services/studentpolicies.aspx .

Additional Conduct Requirements:

Professionalism:

Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner as they would in a professional occupation.

Academic Honesty:

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 violating college policies. Plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty are considered extremely serious offenses. As little as one sentence copied from the Internet (or another source) into a research paper without citing the source will result in, as a minimum, a zero for the assignment and disqualification from presenting the paper. Students are personally responsible for understanding the various forms of academic dishonesty as explained in the "Code of Academic Honesty" section of the Student Handbook. Failure to comply with any requirement for academic honesty may trigger disciplinary proceedings. Any form of cheating or plagiarism is considered grounds for failure of the course.

Software Piracy

Software that is copyrighted is intended for use in its original form. Duplicate copies can be produced only if written permission is obtained from the software manufacturer. The U.S. law states that noncompliance may result in civil damages not exceeding $50,000 and criminal penalties of up to one (1) year and/or a $10,000 fine. Note that minors are not exempt from copyright law.

Student Services

A variety of services are available to assist students in succeeding at FCC. Students can learn more about these services by visiting the Student Services web page: http://www.frederick.edu/student_services/index.aspx

Students with disabilities who are in need of accommodations or who have questions related to disabilities services should contact the Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) office at 301-846-2408. Students can learn more about these services by visiting the Services for Students with Disabilities web page: http://www.frederick.edu/student_services/disability.aspx .

Participation Policy

On-line and on-campus participation are required. Students in this class are expected to assume responsibility for attending and participating fully in class. Student are expected to come to class prepared to participate, this includes but is not limited to reading the chapter to be covered before the class in which it is covered. Active participation will enhance the student learning process. Disruptive or unprofessional behavior diminishes the learning environment for the entire class and will not be tolerated. (Please refer to the "Classroom Behavior" section in the Student Handbook for more information on expected behavior.) Absence from a class does not excuse a student from knowing what was covered in class or from completing activities, assignments, quizzes, tests, or other requirements of the course on time, which may affect your grade. Excused absences include illness (with doctor's note), emergencies deemed as such by your instructor, religious holidays, and official College functions. The instructor has full discretion on whether the absence to qualifies as an excused absence and whether to issue makeup work for the student to complete.

Email Communication

All students will receive and be expected to use their FCC provided (myfcc.frederick.edu) email address for their correspondence with faculty and staff at the college. Students can establish and access their FCC email accounts at the login page: https://myfcc.frederick.edu.

Topical Outline

Every effort will be made to keep to this schedule; however, the instructor reserves the right to alter or amend it as necessary. Additional dates may be required as make-up days for inclement weather or other cancellations. Adjustments to the schedule may affect due dates or actual assessments given.
