COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is the
introduction to Object Oriented Programming. At the end of this course, a student
is expected to have knowledge of the basic components of Java, Object Oriented
approach of programming, Graphics, Applets and I/O Streams. Java will be taught
during lectures and used as the language for programming assignments.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Upon completion of this course, the successful
student will be able to:
| 1. |
Apply a systematic approach
to problem solving by using OOP concepts: object composition, encapsulation,
inheritance, and polymorphism. |
| 2. |
Demonstrate skills in problem
analysis, logic development, program design and implementation that can
be applied in a wide variety of programming situations. |
| 3. |
Apply concepts of modular program
design and component re-usability in Java. |
| 4. |
Demonstrate an understanding
of Java syntax, including usage of Java API to implement GUI applications |
| 5. |
Write programs in Java to solve
business type data processing problems |
| 6. |
Test and debug Java programs
effectively. |
| 7. |
Demonstrate the ability to think
critically and logically by developing algorithms |
GENERIC SKILLS
The following generic skills will be acquired and/or
enhanced:
COMMUNICATION
- Interpret and write Java programs for a broad range
of technical instructions and program specifications.
MATHEMATICS
- Apply the fundamentals of mathematics (addition, subtraction,
division, multiplication, integers, signed integers, averages, fractions and
percentages) to the solution of routine problems.
- Apply appropriate formulae to solve common business
problems.
- Define precision and accuracy in mathematical calculations
and use the rules for significant figures.

Ch 14 |
ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION
An average of 60% must be achieved
on the tests and on the final exam for the lab assignments to be counted in
the final mark.
The Marking distribution is as follows:
| ASSIGNMENTS |
30%
|
| TEST 1 |
35%
|
| FINAL EXAM
(Comprehensive |
35%
|
This course has been designated a programming
course. In all of the programming courses, a portion of the marks for assignments
will be allocated to program structure, screen layout and print layout.
Please note: The Distance Learning version of this course
(if available) may have a different grading scheme than the classroom version.
Check the information page of the Distance Learning version for details. Students
must pass the proctored final exam for any other test and lab assignments to
count towards their final mark.
PRIOR LEARNING ASSESSMENT
(PLA) College PLA requirements must be followed. PLA consists
of an oral qualifying interview and, if successful, a challenge exam. Depending
on the level of success on the challenge exam, a case study may be assigned.
ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
It is the responsibility of each student to be knowledgeable
of the Humber College Academic Regulations and the School of Information Technology
Academic Standards and Regulations. Copies of the standards are available in
the School of Information Technology main office H221. It is the student's responsibility
to retain course outlines for possible future use in support of applications
for transfer credit to other educational institutions. **A charge of $5.00 per
course outline may apply for additional copies.**
DISCLAIMER
Every effort will be made by the instructor of the course to
cover all the material listed. However, in the event of special circumstances
(i.e. time constraints due to inclement weather, sickness, technology problems
or changes, etc) the order, content and/or evaluation may be changed with prior
notification to students and approval from the Dean/Associate Dean
