Textbook: Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with JAVA Walls and Mirrors, Updated edition by Frank M. Carrano & Janet J. Prich= ard. Addison Wesley.

Reference: JAVA, Software Solutions, Lewis & Loftus. Fourth Edition by Addison Wesley. ISBN # 0321-24583-0

Objectives: This is an advanced course in Program Development. It introduces software engineering technology by using object-oriented concepts.

Attendance and Partici= pation Policy:

&= nbsp; The student is expected and advised to be present at every class meeting, read = the text in advance, bring questions to the class and is always responsible for= all material discussed in the class meetings. Spending good period of time in t= he computer laboratory is very important; both attendance and participation wi= ll be considered for the final grade.

Performance Evaluation= :

09 Lab assignments (Programming Projects) 27%

03 Tests &n= bsp; = ; 48%, 16% each

Final Examination &= nbsp; 25%

Grading Policy<= /u>:

The attendance, partic= ipation in class and lab, interest, persistence to overcome difficulties will be considered along with the performance evaluation to attribute a final latter grade to the student. Following letter grade (in terms of % terms) criteria:

i.e.,

96<A<100; >92 A-; >88 B+; >84 B; >80 B-; >76 C= +; >72 C; >68 C-; >64 D; and <=3D64 is F.

Will be the basis in attributing the final letter grade.

Laboratory Assignments= and Test Policy:

Although cooperative e= fforts are not admitted, particularly in the Tests and Lab assignments, however students are encouraged to discuss among themselves any course materials and ask questions at any time in or out of class. Do your own work. Don’t forget that if you want to shine like a star, you should have your own l= ight and not be scared of darkness. Also, let me tell you that the programmi= ng can only be learned by doing, that is, by developing and executing the programs, the more you practice the better you become. No make-ups will be allowed. Lab assignments must be stapled, u= sing 8.5*11 paper and must contain the following statements in that order,<= /o:p>
