● Unified Modeling Language (UML)

● Programming in Java

● Other advanced topics(Patterns, MVC architecture) depending on time constraints

Course Evaluation:

1. Class Assignments (4 * 6 = 24%): There will be four or more homework assignments. The four best
assignments will be chosen to count towards 24% of the final grade.

2. Test 1 (30%): 90 minute test on February 21st, 2008

3. Test 2 (30%): 90 minute test on April 24th, 2008

4. Class Project (16%): Each student is expected to develop an Object Oriented program as part of a
class project. There will be project walkthrough sessions at the end of certain classes or according to
class needs. Two students may combine efforts to produce a more complex and larger project.

Make up exams will be allowed ONLY with the prior permission of the instructor.
