Course Topics

Required Texts/Readings

• Textbook: Object-Oriented Design & Patterns, 3rd edition, by Cay Horstmann

Course Requirements and Assignments

• Programming Assignments and Project
  • Four individual programming assignments involving design and implementation. (All submitted programs should be original. For some assignments, you are allowed to borrow a code from the textbook. If this is the case, it will be clearly specified in the assignment description and you have to acknowledge it in the corresponding source code.)
  • A group project with 3 members per group in the last month of the semester involves OO design and GUI programming. A project description and guidelines will be posted later.
  • Unless I specifically ask for hard copies, all assignments will be submitted through my course web page. Find the homework submission link corresponding to your section at the left side of the course web page.
• Submission/Late Policy
  • Any assignments/project turned in past the deadline will get a penalty: For each late day, a 20% of the maximum obtainable score of the work will be taken out of what you earned. (a late day is one 24 hour period beyond the due date). For example, suppose the maximum score of an assignment is 100 and you earned 80 points. If the submission is late by two days, the final score of the assignme nt would be 80 - 2 * 20 = 40.
  • Any submission turned in more than 48 hours past the deadline will result i n a grade of zero for that assignment.
  • On-line submission: You can submit your work multiple times. If then, the latest one will be considered as the final submission. If the final submission is late, the late policy will be applied.
  • E-mail submissions will not be accepted for grading.
• Teamwork Policy
  • Once a team is formed, it will last through out the semester. If you dissolve your team, a significant amount of penalty will be determined by the instructor and given to both parties.
  • For the project, students are expected to report their own results as well as their collaborators. The task responsibility and contribution of every team member must be precisely documented in a report. Team members will be graded individually based on the report and peer evaluation.

Evaluation (Exams)

• There will be two midterm exams and one comprehensive final exam. All exams will be given online via Canvas. The dates of midterm exams will be announced with fair notice. The final exam date is scheduled by the university and cannot be changed. See the semester schedule at the end of the syllabus for the final exam schedule.
• Makeup Exam Policy
  Absolutely no make-up exams will be offered under any circumstances. For those who couldn't take the exam or worked hard but had a bad day on the exam day ending up with a low score, I offer the following opportunity to possibly replace your worst midterm score with the final score. If your final exam (percentage) grade is higher than your worst midterm (percentage) grade, then I will replace the worst midterm grade with your final exam grade. For example, if you have a 60% on your worst midterm and you receive an 80% on the final exam, I will replace the 60% by 80% in the computation of your course grade.

Grading Information

You will receive the final grade based on the weighted average score on your performance. The grading weights are as follows.

• Exam I: 22 %
• Exam II: 22 %
• Final Exam: 32 %
• Programming Assignments: 15 %
• Project: 8 %
• Participation: 1% (poll in class)

I first try scores of 90, 80, and 70 to cut off letter grades of A-, B-, and C-, respectively. If overall class performance is too low to use these cut offs, I set a cut off of C- to a lower score than the class total average but a higher score than 60 (this number may change), and divide the students' group above the cut off of C- into A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-. The rest of students will be given by a grade of D+, D, D-, F or WU depending on their class performance.

Technology Requirements

Students are responsible for ensuring that they have access to reliable Wi-Fi during tests. If students are unable to have reliable Wi-Fi, they must inform the instructor at the latest one week before the test date. See Learn Anywhere website (https://www.sjsu.edu/learnanywhere/equipment/index.php) for current Wi-Fi options on campus.

Testing Environment: Setup

• No earbuds, headphones, or headsets
• The environment is free of other people besides the student taking the test.
• No other browser or windows besides Canvas opened.
• A workplace that is clear of clutter (i.e., reference materials, notes, textbooks, cellphone, tablets, smart watches, monitors, keyboards, gaming consoles, etc.)
• Well-lit environment. Can see the students’ eyes and their whole face. Avoid having backlight from a window or other light source opposite the camera.

Classroom Protocol

• Policy on Academic Integrity
  • Any cheating on an exam will result in a grade of F in the class.
  • The submitted programming assignments will be checked for plagiarism using Stanford MOSS against the submissions from the current and previous semesters. If duplicate programs are found, both the provider and the copier will receive 0 point on the assignment. A second offense results in a grade of F in the class.
  • Any incident of academic dishonesty will be reported to University for disciplinary action.
• Attendance: University policy F15-12 at http://www.sjsu.edu/senate/docs/F15-12.pdf states that "Students should attend all meetings of their classes, not only because they are responsible for material discussed therein, but because active participation is frequently essential to insure maximum benefit for all members of the class. Attendance per se shall not be used as a criterion for grading."
• Consent for Recording of Class and Public Sharing of Instructor Material
  : University Policy S12-7, http://www.sjsu.edu/senate/docs/S12-7.pdf, requires students to obtain instructor's permission to record the course:
  • "Common courtesy and professional behavior dictate that you notify someone when you are recording him/her. You must obtain the instructor's permission to make audio or video recordings in this class. Such permission allows the recordings to be used for your private, study purposes only. The recordings are the intellectual property of the instructor; you have not been given any rights to reproduce or distribute the material."
  • "Course material cannot be shared publicly without his/her approval. You may not publicly share or upload instructor generated material for this course such as exam questions, lecture notes, or homework solutions without instructor consent."

University Policies

• Per University Policy S16-9, university-wide policy information relevant to all courses, such as academic integrity, accommodations, etc. will be available on Office of Graduate and Undergraduate Programs’ Syllabus Information web page at http://www.sjsu.edu/gup/syllabusinfo/"
