This course follows and requires the freshman introductory sequence CS 1511—1521. It is intended to:

• Take up where the freshman year leaves off in the discipline of object-oriented design and coding,
• Introduce Java and JavaScript as object-oriented programming languages
• Provide the background necessary to undertake serious programming projects that the student will later encounter in advanced courses, actual jobs, or research

There is no required textbook. All content is available online through the course Canvas site.

The total number of points possible on exams, programming assignments, and lab exercises are shown on the right.

Grades are assigned based on percentage of total points as shown below. The grade cutoffs will never be raised; but they may be lowered.

Students will acquire skills in the analysis, design, and implementation of medium-scale software development projects.

Analysis topics include:

• Problem statements
• Use cases
• Requirements gathering and specification

Design topics include:

• Interface types and abstract classes
• Polymorphism and inheritance
• Software architecture
• Frameworks

Implementation topics include:

• Using integrated development environments (NetBeans, Android Studio)
• Class-based object-oriented programming (Java)
• Non-class-based object-oriented programming (Javascript, JQuery)
• Data structures and algorithms
• Building graphical user interfaces (Java, XML, HTML, CSS)
• Systematically testing and debugging code (JUnit)
• Mobile design and programming (Android)

This course addresses the following student learning outcomes:

Student Learning Outcomes (SLO's):

• Demonstrate competence in a major field (SLO 1)
• Construct, integrate, and apply knowledge from instruction and experience (SLO 2)
• Think critically and creatively in seeking solutions to practical and theoretical problems (SLO 3)

Computer Science Department Program Outcomes:

• Students can design, develop, and analyze significant software systems
• Students understand the fundamentals of data structures and related algorithms
• Students understand the application of programming languages in computer systems

This course is delivered online through the university's Canvas course management system. See the menu at left for more about preparing for online courses.

• The course content is contained in 13 Canvas modules that include web-based lecture presentations and videos, lab exercises, and assignments.
• Lab exercises and assignments will be submitted through Canvas by deadlines indicated on the Term Schedule.
• There are two midterm exams and one final exam that will be administered through Canvas at dates and times also indicated on the schedule.

All lab exercises and programming assignments will be submitted using Canvas.

Submission guidelines and late submission policy are shown on the menu at left.

All lab exercises and assignments in this course are individual, and just like an essay or term paper, any work for them is expected to be your own:

• You may discuss an assignment and general approaches to a problem with your professor, your lab instructor, lab consultants, or your classmates, but you must analyze, design, and write your programs yourself.
• You may consult with others to seek help in debugging, but you may not collaborate with anyone on the writing of your code.
• There will be no collaboration on the 10-point lab exercises.
• There will be no collaboration on exams.

Violation of this policy is considered to be Scholastic Dishonesty.
