CSCI 1302 Advanced Programming Principles
Dr. Joy Reed
Spring 2008
Prerequisite: CSCI 1301 Introduction to Programming Principles
Course Description:
Object-oriented design and implementation. Topics include: objects and class design
using UML, simple design patterns, inheritance, polymorphism, interfaces, graphical user
interfaces and event-driven programming, exception handling, file input and output.
Goal:
The primary goal is to further expand the students’ problem solving skills by learning and
using object-oriented programming. Java will be used as the programming language to do
so. The course builds upon the programming competencies that students have acquired in
CS1301.

Academic Integrity
Students must abide by AASU’s Academic Honor Code. Failure to do so will result in a
violation that will be reported to the Office of Vice President of Student Services. While
students may consult each other about the programming projects, programming
assignments must be submitted individually (for an individual grade). No copying of any
sort is allowed. Copying is regarded as plagiarism. The maximum penalty for
plagiarism and other forms of cheating is failure of the course.
Attendance: Mandatory.
Class Etiquette:
Please try not to be late or leave early, but if it is necessary, please inform me beforehand.
I reserve the right to refuse this privilege. Cell phones should be completely turned off.
Email: I sometimes send essential information to the class as a whole using SHIP email.
