Prerequisite: Introduction to Programming
Course Description
This course introduces object-oriented programming and the Java language and its architecture. Students will learn how to program in Java and use some of its most important APIs. Special importance will be assigned to the object-oriented nature of Java and its use of polymorphism.
Course Outcomes
Upon course completion, students
will have demonstrated the ability to do the following:
·
use Java programming language in object-oriented
program design
·
understand the Java architecture and use the Java APIs
·
understand and use inheritance and polymorphism as
implemented in Java

Course Requirements
Students are required to attend
lectures and labs. Lecture handouts and lab notes
will be available after the class. Students are expected to participate in
class discussions. In the event of illness or emergency, contact
your instructor IN ADVANCE to determine whether special arrangements are
possible.
Participation: Participation extends beyond mere attendance. You may miss up to two
classes without penalty. Each absence beyond the first two will cost you points
off of your final grade. The only exceptions to this rule are severe illness
(doctor’s note required) and UNYT approved trips/activities. Appropriate
documentation for absences beyond the first two is necessary and is to be
provided on the class day directly before or after the one you miss. Students
are expected to collect materials from the online course page, their classmates
or see the instructor during consultation hours.
Exams: Two
examinations will be taken one midterm and one final. No Student may miss a
scheduled exam without receiving permission before the administration of the
exam. Make-up exams might be significantly different from the regular tests,
and will be administered at a time of instructor own convenience.
Project: I will announce projects usually based on the chapters/materials covered in class. Due dates will be specified accordingly. Projects must be submitted as specified to be considered on-time. Late assignments are accepted with the following penalties: -20% if submitted the next day it is due, and -10% for each day late after that. I will accept e-mail submissions.
Make-up policy Midterm/Final exam: Only students who miss an exam for university-approved and verifiable reasons will be allowed to take a make-up exam. Even then, except in the most extreme circumstances, no student may miss a scheduled exam without receiving permission before the administration of the exam. Make-up exams might be significantly different in format from the regular tests, and will be administered at a time of my own convenience.
Cheating
policy: Cheating policy: Exams, assignments, projects and quizzes are subject to the STUDENT
HONOUR CODE. The
University’s rules on academic dishonesty (e.g. cheating, plagiarism,
submitting false information) will be strictly enforced. Please familiarize yourself
with the STUDENT HONOUR CODE, or ask me for clarification.
Learning Difficulties: If you feel that you have encountered special learning difficulties or serious problems that interfere with your studies, please make an appointment with UNYT Counseling Center. For more information, please contact me and or your academic advisor.
