Course Description

The course is about learning how to program computers to accomplish complex tasks and break-
down a complex task into simpler ones using the JAVA Programming language. The course covers
very important aspects of modern OOP (Object-Oriented Programming). In general, the course will
begin with quickly introducing declaring of variables, logical statements, loops, arrays, methods;
then more advanced topics like objects, classes, inheritance, polymorphism, file I/O, exceptions, etc.

Prerequisite(s): CSCI 1202: Programming Principle I

Course Format and Objectives

This course applies a semi-flipped classroom model. In a flipped classroom, traditional face-to-face
lectures are prerecorded and delivered online as a homework. Then, the class meets to do activities,
including those that may have traditionally been considered homework, in the classroom.
The class will meet in two 75 minutes sessions per week. On Tuesday, all the sections will come
together for a face-to-face joint lecture. On Wednesday, the class will do in-class activities.
Upon completion of this course students should:

1. Understand the syntax of the Java programming language

2. Understand the basic concepts and principles of structured and object-oriented programming
3. Be able to design, write and test a Java program to implement a working solution to a given
problem specification
4. Develop client-server applications using sockets
5. Process data using file operations and collections
6. Understand generics, annotations and lambda functions
7. Be familiar with data serialization, threads and concurrency

Grades and evaluation

Students are assessed on a combination of in-class quizzes, in-class assignments, a midterm and a
final exam. The overall assessment of students will be divided as follows:

In-class quiz (6%) x 5 30%

In-class assignment (6%) x 5 30%
Midterm Exam 20%
Final Exam 20%

Personal Policy

Focus on the learning aspect of the course, NOT the grading. Grades will come for those who are
showing effort. If I suspect the slightest dishonesty, I can guarantee that I will fail you.
