COURSE HANDOUT
Date: 07.01.2020

In addition to part I (General Handout for all courses appended to the Time table) this portion gives further
specific details regarding the course.
Course No : CS F213
Course Title : Object Oriented Programming
Instructor-in-Charge : Dr. Amit Dua
Instructor(s) : Dr. Jennifer Ranjani J.
Tutorial/Practical Instructors : Dr. Amit Dua, Dr. Jennifer Ranjani J., Ms. Shail Saharan
1. Course Description:
This course provides a student with an in-depth understanding of object-oriented programming, object
oriented designing, and design patterns. Java programming language is chosen to realize object orientation.
The course is taught with live demonstrations, running and debugging several examples, on tools like
Eclipse. The later part of the course focuses on designing object oriented software. After the completion of
this course a student should be able to effectively realize and implement real world problems using object
oriented principles and techniques.

2. Scope and Objective of the Course:

a) Gives in-depth understandings of object-oriented programming using the java programming language,
object oriented analysis and design, and design patterns.
b) In the classroom the course will be taught with live demonstrations, running and debugging several
examples on tools like Eclipse.
c) The later part of the course focuses on designing object-oriented software.

Quizzes: There will be a quiz once in every month at regular intervals. The quiz questions will be made
available on Nalanda. Students are advised to revise the concepts taught in the class regularly by going
through the prescribed text and reference books and practicing the lab sheets. It is of utmost importance that
the quizzes be attempted with proper preparation. A fixed window of about 40 minutes will be made
available for students to attempt the quiz from anywhere. However, once the quiz is started, a student will
have to complete that in the prescribed time of 20-30 minutes. The quiz can be started anytime during the
given time window, but will end after the defined time limit. Students are also advised to avoid the last
minute upload due to possible network congestion. Students will be graded for the best 75% of the total
quizzes uploaded. By the end of the semester, four quizzes were uploaded, best 3 will be considered for
grading. No makeup request will be entertained if a student misses the quiz. In addition, the quiz time will
not be extended for any reason.

Online quiz: The online test is intended to test the learned knowledge of a student about the design aspects
of the taught programming languages paradigms. It will comprise of variety of short answer type questions,
which will be multiple choice, fill in the blanks, matching etc. or explanation based. The test will be
conducted in IPC in the 3rd week of April. No makeup request will be considered for online quiz.

8. Important Course Policies

a) Each lab attendance carries 1.25 marks. Best of eight lab attendance will be considered for
final grading.
b) Labs falling on holidays will not be cancelled or rescheduled. They will be conducted on the
very same date and time.
