Syllabus for the current semester
Prerequisites: At least one year of high school algebra and strong computer skills or CSCI 101.
Catalog Description:
A first-semester object-oriented programming course, providing an overview of computer systems and an introduction to problem solving, object-oriented software design, and programming. Coverage includes the software life cycle, as well as algorithms and their role in software design. Students are expected to design, implement, and test a number of programs.
Course Objectives:
The objectives are for the student to:
- develop and debug programs in an object-oriented language,
- use proper programming style and software design techniques,
- use proper documentation techniques,
- use an operating system to develop software,
- use the concepts of object-oriented programming.
Course Outcomes:
Students shall:
1. design software products,
2. write applications in an object-oriented language with:
- object-oriented design principles,
- sequential execution of code,
- conditionals,
- looping constructs (iteration),
- classes from class libraries,
- user-defined classes,
- primitive data types, reference variables, and arrays,
- instance data, instance methods, class data, and class methods,
3. use an operating system and development environment to develop and debug applications,
4. document programs so that others can understand their operation,
5. test programs to verify their operation.
Class/Laboratory schedule:
One hundred minutes a week activity
Accreditation Category Content:
This course embodies a significant portion of (a) Theoretical Foundations (b)Problem Analysis and (c) Solutions Design |
