Dec 19, 2000: Complete Misc course information

Oct 25, 2000: Initial Creation.

In this course, we are going to cover concepts and techniques of object-oriented programming. "Classic" Object-Oriented concepts such as objects, classes, methods, inheritance, polymorphism, etc will be covered. The stress of this course will be exploring ways of using object-oriented programming in Internet and Web programming. We will cover client-side Java web programming and server-side Java web programming. Comparison of object-oriented languages such C++ vs Java and Java vs JavaScript will also be covered..

Official Course Position: "The prerequisites to this course will be monitored, and instructors are authorized to drop students at any time should it be determined that all prerequisites has not been met." "As a condition for enrollment, students are required to sign a statement that they have met all prerequisites and accept the condition that violation will subject them to instructor drop and to disciplinary action." The statement in this course will be homework 0 sent my the student.

Also, Math and CS department staff will prepare a database of all students who have completed CS 146 with a grade of C- or better. After Census day (4 weeks into the semester) the staff will inform instructors which students in their classes have not met the CS146 prerequisite. All students that do not meet the CS146 prerequisite will then be dropped from the course.

In other words, if you DO not meet CS146 prerequisite ... DROP THE CLASS yourself.

Approach Of the Class

This class will be a survey of Object-Oriented Programming in the Internet. We assume that students will have a C++ or Java background. In other words, students do know some programming before they start. OOP topics will be covered in the beginning of the class. Then, more advanced Object-Oriented Web Programming will be covered. Advanced topics included Java Swing, Java Applet, Java Servlet and Java JSP programming. Students will be working on four homework projects in groups of two through out the semester. The homeworks will range from simple OO "Hello World" program to complex Java web application/applet. Forming student groups is the responsbility of the students. At the end of the semester, students have to do a group presentation on selected topics. Topics will be announced in class.

At the end of the course, students will learn the best practice of Object-Oriented programming and how to apply OOP in web programming.

Grading: Apart from the four homework projects, there are a mid-term exam and a final exam. Exams might be take-home. The weightings for grading are: Hw1: 10%, Hw2: 15%, Hw3: 15%, Hw4: 15%, Presentation: 15%, Midterm: 15% and Final Exam: 15%.

Homework Project

There are four to five homework projects in this class. Students will have to work in a group of two in doing these homework projects. The homework project will range from OO "Hello World" program to fairly complex Java applet or Java application.

Cheating Policy

In short, if you cheat in any form in any assignment ... you get an F. The department consider cheating to be a serious violation. You must do your own work on all assignments. That is, do your own homeworks, mid-term and final exam. For group project, all the work has to be done by your OWN group. Do not try to download "free code" from the Internet and hand in as a project. WE WILL FIND OUT. Do not share your work with others. Any student who receive an F for cheating will be reported to the Office of Student Affairs for Academic Dishonesty. In other words, there will be a permanent record staying that you cheated. No, I do not want to do that. So DO YOUR OWN WORK and EARN your grade.
