Name of Course/Module: Object Oriented Programming

2. Course Code: CCP313
3. Rationale for the inclusion of the course/module in the programme :

Understanding object-oriented programming is essential for any Java programmer. The

object-oriented approach continues to sweep the software industry, becoming the
dominant approach to large-scale, adaptable, and reusable systems development. Hence,
students have to take this course in order to prepare themselves for future challenges and
to strengthen their skills in programming.

4. Semester and Year offered: Semester 3 Year 1

5. Credit Value: 3
6. Prerequisite (if any): None
7. Objectives:
The objectives of this course are to:
 Show the key features of object-oriented technology available in Java language.
 Demonstrate and use problem solving skills to solve programming problems in order
to complete a development of any applications developed using Java technology.
 Demonstrate appropriate algorithm, basic notions, data structures and graphical
interfaces with Java correctly and effectively using team skills strategy.
 Show a real world problem and its solutions using problem skills in Java.
 Expose the state-of-the-art of Java technology and web programming using Java
programming techniques.
8. Learning outcomes:
Upon completion, the students should be able to:
 Identify and operate the key features of object-oriented technology available in Java
language.
 Apply problem solving skills to solve programming problems in order to complete a
development of any applications developed using Java technology.
 Select appropriate algorithm, basic notions, data structures and graphical interfaces
with Java correctly and effectively using team skills strategy.
 Interpret a real world problem using problem solving skills in Java.
 Communicate the state-of-the-art of Java technology and web programming using
Java programming techniques.
9. Transferable Skills:
Creativity – Students are taught to think creatively what would be the problems
surround them that can be solved using computer programming.

Communication – Students are taught how to explore the programming software,

and communicate with others.

Project – Students are given an exposure to work on a project which can be

individual or team basis on programming tasks.

Technical – Students are taught on how to use all programming techniques to

accomplish given tasks.

Programming in Java – Students are taught how to build a program that can solve
different problems.
10. Teaching-learning and assessment strategy:
Teaching-learning
 Lectures – lectures are conducted weekly that cover every topic stated in the
course outline. Lectures also promote active and interactive learning with
students where mutual participation in question and answer and short discussion
are expected.
 Laboratory – the lab session is used to teach Java to the students. The course is
conducted in the computer laboratory equipped with Java tools.

Assessment
 Exam – It is a written form of summative assessment.
 Quiz – It is a written form of formative assessment that may be conducted during
the lecture period.
 Assignments - Students will be evaluated by a practical assignments or
theoretical report.
 Project – Students will involve in a project activity and have to complete outside
of the classroom. It may be assigned to an individual or group level. Marks will be
given based on the fulfillment to the assessment criteria of the project.
 Presentation – Students will be assessed on the communication ability and a
product of the project they have developed.

11. Synopsis:

The Java language is and object oriented programming language and platform. It contains
language facilities and libraries for networking and designed to execute code from remote
sources securely. The Java language introduces some new features that did not exist in
other languages like C and C++. Students will understand the object-oriented features of
Java and how they relate to concepts from object-oriented design by using the object-
oriented features of Java to efficiently implement abstract data-structures with clean and
simple interfaces. The object-oriented features of Java to implement object-oriented
designs of reasonable size and complexity. With this languages student will understand
the basic principles used to implement the abstract data structures and graphical
interfaces in Java.
12. Mode of Delivery
Lectures and Practical laboratory
