1.0 ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

 All modules other than electives are 'significant modules'

 As an indicator of workload one credit carries and additional 2 hours of self study per week. For
example, a module worth 3 credits require that the student spends an additional 6 hours per
week, either reading, completing the assignment or doing self directed research for that
module.

 Submission of ALL assignment work is compulsory in this module. A student cannot pass this
module without having to submit ALL assignment work by the due date or an approved
extension of that date.

 All assignments are to be handed on time on the due date. Students will be penalised 10
percent for the first day and 5 percent per day thereafter for late submission (a weekend or a
public holiday counts as one day). Late submission, after the date Board of Studies meeting
will not be accepted.

 Due dates, compulsory assignment requirements and submission requirements may only be
altered with the consent of the majority of students enrolled in this module at the
beginning/early in the program.

 Extensions of time for submission of assignment work may be granted if the application for
extension is accompanied by a medical certificate.

 Overseas travel is not an acceptable reason for seeking a change in the examination schedule.

 Only the Head of School can grant approval for extension of submission beyond the
assignment deadline.

 Re-submission of work can only receive a 50% maximum pass rate.

 Supplementary exams can only be granted if the level of work is satisfactory AND the semester
work has been completed.

 Harvard referencing and plagiarism policy will apply on all written assignments.

2.0 SPECIFIC MODULE INFORMATION

 Attendance rate of 80% is mandatory for passing module.

 All grades are subject to attendance and participation.

 Absenteeism at any scheduled presentations will result in zero mark for that presentation.

 Visual presentation work in drawn and model form must be the original work of the student.

 The attached semester program is subject to change at short notice.

3.0 MODULE RULES AND REGULATIONS:

Assessment procedure:

 These rules and regulations are to be read in conjunction with the UNIT AIMS AND
OBJECTIVES

 All assignments/projects must be completed and presented for marking by the due date.

 Marks will be deducted for late work and invalid reasons.

 All assignments must be delivered by the student in person to the lecturer concerned. No other
lecturer is allowed to accept students’ assignments.

 All tests/examinations are compulsory.

 Students must sit the test/examination on the notified date.

 Students are expected to familiarize themselves with the test/examination timetable.

 Students who miss a test/examination will not be allowed to pass.

 Any scheduling of tutorials, both during or after lecture hours, is TOTALLY the responsibility of
each student. Appointments are to be proposed, arranged, confirmed, and kept, by each
student. Failure to do so in a professional manner may result in penalty of grades. Tutorials
WITHOUT appointments will also NOT be entertained.

 Note that every assignment is given an ample time frame for completion. This, together with
advanced information pertaining deadlines gives you NO EXCUSE not to submit assignments
on time.

6.0 MODULE INTRODUCTION

This module is designed to introduce the features of the Java programming language to students
who have a basic understanding of C++. The course focuses on developing Java applications and
applets, and understanding Object Oriented Programming. Basic programming concepts studied
include: control structures, arrays, methods, classes and objects. Advanced topics such as Object
Oriented concept, interface components, and applet also are covered. The module teaches
students how to write Java applications and applets on the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition
(J2SE).

 Guided on how to use of arrays, conditionals, and loops in a Java program

 Taught on how to develop and use applets and class libraries

 Exposed to define, describe, and use methods and objects in Java

 Guided on how to describe and use graphical user interface (GUI) and Graphics 2D in Java

8.0 LEARNING OUTCOME

At the end of this course, student will able to:

 Use object-oriented programming in Java.

 Use Java editor to type, compile, and execute a Java source file.

 Use primitive variables & constants.

 Use if statements, loops, and arrays with console programs.

 Write user-defined methods

 Compile and execute a project that makes use of two or more classes and understand the role
object variables and methods.

 Write a graphical user interface (GUI) and Graphics 2D Java application.

14.0 LEARNING ACTIVITIES

 Programming Development Skill:

Every week the students are required to attend the lab classes without fail. In every class, the
students will be given a set of questions (programs) that has to be completed before the end of
the class (2 hour duration).

The questions given in the lab will solely concentrate on the topics that have been previously
taught in the lecture class.

The questions will vary from basic to advanced mode of that particular topic.

On successful completion of all their exercises, the student can expect to complete their major
assignment without any hassle.
