A rigorous treatment of object-oriented concepts using Java as an example language. Development of sound programming and design skills, problem solving and modeling of real world problems from science, engineering, and economics using the object-oriented paradigm. Requirements/Prerequisites COMS W1004: Introduction To Computer Science And Programming In Java, or AP Computer Science with a grade of 4 or 5. CUNIX account (all registered students should have this automatically) Textbook Object Oriented Design and Patterns by Cay Horstmann. ISBN: 0-471-74487-5 Author's page (includes errata, downloadable copies of the code examples): http://www.horstmann.com/design_and_patterns.html The publisher, Wiley, keeps a student companion site including solutions to half of the exercises in the book: http://bcs.wiley.com/he-bcs/Books?action=index&itemId=0471744875&bcsId=2561 Additional reading may be assigned via in-class handouts on the website. Topics (This list is not in any particular order, nor is it comprehensive. It should however provide an idea of what the course will cover.) Programming style Classes and methods UML diagrams Programming by contract: preconditions, postconditions and invariants Designing interfaces Polymorphism Encapsulation Inheritance Design patterns Frameworks Java graphics and user interface programming Multithreading Course Policies Grading The course will have five homework assignments distributed throughout the semester. Each will be a combination of programming problems and written problems. There will be a midterm exam and a final exam. Both will be closed book and closed notes. The final grade will be a weighted sum of the following: 50% Homework 20% Midterm Exam 30% Final Exam Late Homework Policy Homework that is submitted late without permission will be penalized according to the following formula: (Penalized score) = (Your raw score) * (1-0.1*(# of days past deadline)) For example, if your raw score is 10 points and you submit two days late, your penalized score will be 10*(1-(1-0.1*2)) = 10*(1-0.2) = 8. This formula will apply for up to three days, after which, the homework will not be accepted and will receive a grade of zero. Avoid invoking these penalities by starting early and seeking extra help. Academic Honesty Read through the department's policies on academic honesty, located at http://www.cs.columbia.edu/education/honesty/, especially the section on procedures and penalties. In this course all work is to be done individually. Note that academic dishonesty is extraordinarily easy to catch in computer science.
