1 About Programming Proficiency
1.1 An Introduction to this Unit
This unit is aimed at the students whose undergraduate study is in a discipline other than computing or information
technology. This unit first covers the programming fundamentals on data types, conditional selections and loop structures,
and then further develops the problem solving skills through the use of user-defined functions, records, files, as well as
the basic concept and techniques of object-oriented programming. A high level programming language is employed to
implement all the problem solutions.
1.2 What is Expected of You
Study Load
A student is expected to study an hour per credit point a week. For example a 10 credit point unit would require 10 hours
of study per week. This time includes the time spent within classes during lectures, tutorials or practicals.
Attendance
While attendance at the lectures/tutorials is not compulsory you are strongly advised to come to the classes. Attendance
may be marked and may be taken into account when if a student appeals against his/her grade. International students
should also be careful that they do not fall foul of the requirements attached to their student visas.
Online Learning Requirements
Unit materials will be made available on the unit’s vUWS (E-Learning) site (https://vuws.westernsydney.edu.au/)
You are expected to consult vUWS at least twice a week, as all unit announcements will be made via vUWS. Teaching
and learning materials will be regularly updated and posted online by the teaching team.
No E-Learning resources required for this Unit.
Special Requirements
Essential Equipment:
Access to a computer and Internet at home
Legislative Pre-Requisites:
Not Applicable
1.3 Changes to Unit as a Result of Past Student Feedback
Student feedback plays a vital role in improving the quality and educational effectiveness of Western Sydney University
units and in ensuring academic staff keep in touch with student needs. You are welcome to provide feedback that is related
to the teaching of this unit. At the end of the semester you will be given the opportunity to complete a Student Feedback
on Unit (SFU) questionnaire to assess the unit. If requested by your unit coordinator, you may also have the opportunity
to complete a Student Feedback on Teaching (SFT) questionnaire to provide feedback for individual teaching staff.
As a result of student feedback, the following changes and improvements have recently been made:
– Further refinement on the content selection, organisation and presentation.

2 Assessment Information
2.1 Unit Learning Outcomes
Outcome
1 Discuss and explain the concepts of data and procedural representation, programming languages, compilers,
interpreters, and development environments.
2 Design and/or represent programs with flow chart and pseudo code.
3 Use effectively the basic data types, selection control, and loop structure.
4 Utilise a high-level programming language to develop problem solutions using standard IO or a proper user
interface, files, and record or class structure.
5 Apply a modular design or an OO design to the software solution.
6 Explain the concept of object-oriented programming, and apply the concept to developing a software solution
within an OOP environment.
2.2 Approach to Learning
Theoretical coverage in the form of a brief lecture combined and intertwined with practical demo and exercises.
Type Approach
Lecture Tutorial
Lecture at the start of class, followed by lab practical exercises.
Lectures - all regular lecture notes are available on the unit website. They contain the
main points and key issues for the unit, and indicate the depth of understanding expected of
the students. As such, the lecturer may choose to elaborate more on certain more important
or fundamental concepts or techniques during the class and leave the uncovered slides to be
studied by the students themselves.
Tutorial Practicals - provide students with the hands-on experience on the Java programming.
These programming exercises will typically consolidate what the students have already learned
in the current and previous week/s, with possibly some relevant additional materials as well.
The instructor will also provide feedback immediately in class and in person whenever possible
so that students are aware of their level of understanding as well as their progress on the unit
as a whole.

your results. You should note that, consistent with the Assessment Policy - Criteria and Standards-Based Assessment
(http://policies.uws.edu.au/view.current.php?id=00227), the final marks for the cohort may also be adjusted
if marks are very high or low or there are inconsistencies between groups.
Feedback on Assessment
Feedback is an important part of the learning process that can improve your progress towards achieving the learning
outcomes. Feedback is any written or spoken response made in relation to academic work such as an assessment task, a
performance or product. It can be given to you by a teacher, an external assessor or student peer and may be given to
individually or to a group of students. As a Western Sydney University student, it is your responsibility to seek out and
act on feedback that is provided to you as a resource to further your learning.
Assessment feedback will be provided during or after the marking of the assessment items depending on the type of
the assessments.

2.6 General Submission Requirements
Submission
– All assignments must be submitted by the specified due date and time, using a completed and signed Assignment
Cover Sheet provided in the Learning Guide Companion.
– Complete your assignment, attach a completed and signed Assignment Cover Sheet, and follow the individual
assessment items instructions on how to submit.
Turnitin
– The Turnitin plagiarism prevention system may be used within this unit. Turnitin is accessed via logging into vUWS
for the unit. If Turnitin is being used with this unit, this means that your assignments have to be submitted through
the Turnitin system.
– Turnitin from iParadigms is a web-based text-matching software that identifies and reports on similarities between
documents. It is also widely utilised as a tool to improve academic writing skills.
– Turnitin compares electronically submitted papers against the following:
– Current and archived web: Turnitin currently contains over 24 billion web pages including archived pages
– Student papers: including Western Sydney University student submissions since 2007
– Scholarly literature: Turnitin has partnered with leading content publishers, including library databases, text-
book publishers, digital reference collections and subscription-based publications (e.g. Gale, Proquest, Emerald
and Sage)
– Turnitin is used by over 30 universities in Australia and is increasingly seen as an industry standard. It is an important
tool to assist students with their academic writing by promoting awareness of plagiarism
Self-Plagiarising
– You are to ensure that no part of any submitted assignment for this unit or product has been submitted by yourself
in another (previous or current) assessment from any unit, except where appropriately referenced, and with prior
permission form the Lecturer/Tutor/Unit Co-ordinator of this unit.
Late Submission
– If you submit a late assessment, without receiving approval for an extension of time, (see next item), you will be
penalised by 10% per day for up to 10 days. In other words, marks equal to 10% of the assignment’s weight will be
deducted from the mark awarded.
– For example, if the highest mark possible is 50, 5 marks will be deducted from your awarded mark for each late day.
– Saturday and Sunday are counted as one calendar day each.
– Assessments will not be accepted after the marked assessment task has been returned to students.
– This is consistent with Clause 51 of the Western Sydney University’s Assessment Policy - Criteria and Standards-
Based Assessment.
Extension of Due Date for Submission
Extensions are only granted in exceptional circumstances. To apply for an extension of time:
– Locate an application form via the Western Sydney University homepage or copy the following link:
http://www.westernsydney.edu.au/currentstudents/current_students/forms
– Application forms must be submitted to the Coordinator.
– Requests for extension should be made no later than 3 working days before the due date of an assignment or other
assessment item including web-based quizzes.
– Appropriate, supporting documentation must be submitted with the application.
– An application for an extension does not automatically mean that an extension will be approved
– Assessments will not be accepted after the marked assessment task has been returned to students.
Resubmission Resubmission of assessment items will not normally be granted if requested.
Application for Special Consideration
It is strongly recommended that you attend all scheduled learning activities to support your learning. If you have suffered
misadventure, illness, or you have experienced exceptional circumstances that have prevented your attendance at class or
your completion and submission of assessment tasks, you may need to apply for Special Consideration via the Western
Sydney University website. http://www.westernsydney.edu.au/currentstudents/current_students/services_
and_facilities/special_consideration2 or the Student Centre. Special Consideration is not automatically granted.
It is your responsibility to ensure that any missed content has been covered. Your lecturer will give you more information
on how this must be done.
