Summary

To expose students to principles and patterns of Object-Oriented Design and teach them to engineer elegant software systems. We will study object-oriented design and implementation. Among the topics of the course are:
Principles of object-oriented programming languages.
Principles of object-oriented design.
UML class, object and interaction diagrams.
Testing methodologies.
Design Patterns.

Java and the UML will be used for source code examples, homework assignments, and the exams. Students will become familiar with a wide variety of design patterns and Object-Oriented principles, will understand when each is relevant for use, integrate them into the design, and implement them as programs. During this course students will design, develop, and test a non-trivial application; and describe their work in a verbal presentation.

Final Exam: 35%

The midterm and final will be cumulative. There will be no extra credit assignments. All submissions need to be turned in on prescribed time. No late submissions will be accepted. All assignments will count in the calculation of your final grade.

All assignments must be submitted through the online system. Program submissions will be assessed on whether they achieve the set task and the quality of the code.

Changes to Syllabus

This syllabus is subject to change as necessary during the quarter. If a change occurs, it will be thoroughly addressed during class, posted under Announcements in D2L and sent via email.

Online Course Evaluations

Evaluations are a way for students to provide valuable feedback regarding their instructor and the course. Detailed feedback will enable the instructor to continuously tailor teaching methods and course content to meet the learning goals of the course and the academic needs of the students. They are a requirement of the course and are key to continue to provide you with the highest quality of teaching. The evaluations are anonymous; the instructor and administration do not track who entered what responses. A program is used to check if the student completed the evaluations, but the evaluation is completely separate from the student’s identity. Since 100% participation is our goal, students are sent periodic reminders over three weeks. Students do not receive reminders once they complete the evaluation. Students complete the evaluation online in CampusConnect.

This course will be subject to the university's academic integrity policy. More information can be found at http://academicintegrity.depaul.edu/ If you have any questions be sure to consult with your professor.
