II. Course Description: From an assumption that the students has adequate knowledge on variables, types, assignment expressions, primitive data types, the role of algorithms in the problemsolving process, basic I/O, sequence construct, selection control constructs, iteration control constructs, class and method definitions, parameter passing, the onedimensional arrays, strings and basic string processing, this course will provide additional concepts so that the students will do well as object-oriented programmers using the Java language. Discussion and Illustrations will focus on the definition of classes, access modifiers, instance variables and methods, constructors, overloading, inheritance and exception handling. In addition, the essentials of sorting and searching algorithms, two-dimensional arrays, and file(Stream) handling will be emphasized.

Pearson International Edition, 2008 VIII. Grading Policy:

University policies on attendance will be implemented. Three Periodic Grades (prelim-PG, midterm-MG, and tentative final grade-TFG) and a final grade-FG will be given to the student. Each of the subject grade for the prelims (PG), midterms (MG) and finals (TFG) is computed as 60% of Lecture grade plus 40% of Laboratory grade. The final subject grade (FG) is computed by the formula FG = (PG+MG+TFG)/3 Lecture and Laboratory grades (PG, MG and TFG) are computed based on students

scores on activities for the prelim period, midterm period, and final period respectively. The scores are proportionately rated based on a 50-100 grade scale through the formula Grade = ((Students Score)/(Perfect Score))*50+50 A PG, MG or FG that is lower than or equal to 65 is set to 65 and a PG, MG or FG that is equal to 100 is set to 99. The grade that appears on the pink grade form issued by the registrars office is final. Unless the student can present concrete evidences that the grade computation is erroneous, the final grade cannot be changed. If necessary, request for correction of grade must be done by the student, himself/herself. (The student should bring his/her compilation of his/her examination/quiz papers to the instructor when the latter is available for consultation in the faculty room. Phone calls and visits to the facultys residence by the student for the purpose of grade verification will not be entertained.) IX. Methodologies/Strategies:

Lecture Laboratory Activities Quizzes Examinations Home works Case Studies X. Other Course Policies:

(Academic Integrity) Academic Honesty Any form of cheating is not allowed in the course. A student who cheats will be given the grade 65, a failing grade, on the quiz/exam/requirement for which cheating is done. (See student handbook). 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The following describes what are considered acts of cheating for the course. Opening of notes, books and the like during classroom tests regardless of whether the student was able to copy from the material or not, unless the instructor explicitly; Making glances at classmates papers/Copying from classmates paper during tests is cheating. During examinations, it is any students responsibility to guard his/her papers accessibility to his/her classmates. Any student who willfully lets her answers be copied by other students will be subjected to the same penalty as the cheaters. Using communication paraphernalia such as cellular phones, walkman, and the like during examinations is considered cheating. Copying/ sharing outputs for any homework or project is considered cheating. Writing notes on walls, chairs, floor, dress, body and the like for purposes of classroom exams.
