Course Description
This summer course is for international school, for undergraduate students. No prior
knowledge on programming languages is required. The course is self-contained, covering a
prodigious range from the basic of programming knowledge to J2SE, data structure and
advanced programming skills. Students are suggested to take self-study before and after
each given lecture.
Course Goals
The goal is to teach from the fundamentals of java programming to high-level network,
database programing, and data structure. It starts from very beginning, from the basic
elements of programming until advancing into high level methodologies and applications.

Attendance
Summer school is very intense and to be successful, students need to attend every class.
Occasionally, because of illness or other unavoidable circumstance, a student may need to
miss a class. UIBE policy requires a medical certificate to be excused. Any unexcused absence
may affect the student's grade. Moreover, UIBE policy is that a student who has more than
1/3 (6 times) of the class in unexcused absences will fail the course.
Grading Policy
Home work 50%
Project assignment 50%
Grading Scale
Assignments and examinations will be graded according to the following grade scale:
A 90-100
A– 85-89
B+ 82-84
B 78-81
B– 75-77
C+ 72-74
C 68-71
C– 64-67
D 60-63
F below 60
Class Rules
Require students to following the student rules of international school.
