COMP9220: Object-Oriented Design (2019 - Semester 1) Download UoS Outline Overview Handbook Teaching Learning Outcomes Assessment Resources Schedule Course Map Unit: COMP9220: Object-Oriented Design (6 CP) Mode: Normal-Day On Offer: Yes Level: Postgraduate Faculty/School: School of Computer Science Unit Coordinator/s: A/Prof Scholz, Bernhard Session options: Semester 1 Versions for this Unit: 2019 - Semester 1 2018 - Semester 1 2017 - Semester 1 2016 - Semester 1 2015 - Semester 1 Go Campus: Camperdown/Darlington Pre-Requisites: None. Prohibitions: COMP5028 OR INFO3220. Brief Handbook Description: This unit introduces essential object-oriented design methods and language mechanisms, especially the principles of modelling through Rational Unified Process and agile processes using Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Java or C++, both of which are industry standard. Students experience the process of object-oriented analysis, object-oriented design, implementation and testing by building a real-world application. Java or C++ is used as the implementation language and a special emphasis is placed on those features of Java or C++ that are important for solving real-world problems. Advanced software engineering features, including exceptions and namespaces are thoroughly covered. Assumed Knowledge: INFO1103 OR INFO1113 OR COMP9103. Students enrolled in COMP9220 are assumed to have Java or C++ programming experience (or equivalent experience in another object-oriented programming language). This unit does have assessments with complex coding tasks. Department Permission Department permission is required for enrollment in this session.

Final Exam: Final Exam (open book) Grading: Grade Type Description Standards Based Assessment Final grades in this unit are awarded at levels of HD for High Distinction, DI (previously D) for Distinction, CR for Credit, PS (previously P) for Pass and FA (previously F) for Fail as defined by University of Sydney Assessment Policy. Details of the Assessment Policy are available on the Policies website at http://sydney.edu.au/policies . Standards for grades in individual assessment tasks and the summative method for obtaining a final mark in the unit will be set out in a marking guide supplied by the unit coordinator. Minimum Pass Requirement It is a policy of the School of Computer Science that in order to pass this unit, a student must achieve at least 40% in the written examination. For subjects without a final exam, the 40% minimum requirement applies to the corresponding major assessment component specified by the lecturer. A student must also achieve an overall final mark of 50 or more. Any student not meeting these requirements may be given a maximum final mark of no more than 45 regardless of their average. Policies & Procedures: IMPORTANT: School policy relating to Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism. In assessing a piece of submitted work, the School of Computer Science may reproduce it entirely, may provide a copy to another member of faculty, and/or to an external plagiarism checking service or in-house computer program and may also maintain a copy of the assignment for future checking purposes and/or allow an external service to do so. Other policies See the policies page of the faculty website at http://sydney.edu.au/engineering/student-policies/ for information regarding university policies and local provisions and procedures within the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technologies.
