Office Hours:
The instructor’s office hours and contact information are given on this syllabus and are posted
at his office and on his web site. The instructor will make every effort to be in his office and available
to students during posted office hours. However, students are welcome to visit the instructor any time
that they need assistance. If you wish to make an appointment to see the instructor, you may do so in
person, through the department secretary, or via email.
Required Text and Materials:
Java 6 Illuminated by Julie Anderson and Herve Franceschi, 2nd edition
(Jones and Bartlett, 2008) ISBN 9780763749637
All students must obtain a legal copy of the text. Bring your text to lecture and to lab.
Course Description:
This course is a rapid survey of structured and object-oriented design (OOD) and objectoriented programming (OOP) using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Java programming
language. Other high-level object-oriented programming languages such as C# and C++ will also be
described. Appropriate program structure and style as well as the features of the languages are
emphasized. The design and implementation of programs comprises a significant part of the course.
Students should be familiar with general programming concepts and have experience programming in
at least one high-level language before attempting this course.
OOP – Revised 3/6/2016
Prerequisites:

Grading:
You will be evaluated in four categories: daily work (which includes homework, quizzes, and
in-class worksheets), lab work, three midterm examinations, and a final examination. The grading scale
and percentages for each grade component are as follows:
92.5 – 100
90.0 – 92.5
87.5 – 90.0
82.5 – 87.5
80.0 – 82.5
77.5 – 80.0
72.5 – 77.5
70.0 – 72.5
67.5 – 70.0
62.5 – 67.5
60.0 – 62.5
0.00 – 60.0

Incompletes:
Incompletes will be granted only in cases of unusual and unforeseeable hardship. Simply
falling behind in the course will not be considered a sufficient reason for granting an incomplete. If
granted, a report of “incomplete” will be accompanied by a letter grade based on work already
completed. If the course is not completed within one year, this letter grade will become the final grade.
The University policy on incompletes is found in the 2008-9 undergraduate catalog page 46 and in the
2008-9 graduate catalog page 31.
Attendance Policy:
Students are expected to attend every lecture and every lab. Three or more absences may result
in a penalty of one or more letter grades. However, a historical observation is that students with
excessive absences generally fail the course even if this penalty is not applied, and students with good
attendance generally earn good grades in the course. If you must miss a lecture or lab due to some
unforeseen emergency, please contact the instructor.
Late Work Policy:
Late work will not be accepted for any reason. Homework or lab work submitted by email or
given to the department secretary after class will not be accepted.
Students with Disabilities:
If you need an accommodation due to a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act,
please contact the Student Health and Disabilities Service Office at 208-5090 or 208-5991. Advance
notice is required for many accommodations.
OOP – Revised 3/6/2016
Weather Cancellation Policy / Severe Weather Policy:
In the event of severe winter weather, the University may cancel classes. To find out if the
University has cancelled classes, call the weather hotline at 208-5871. The local television stations will
list those schools that cancel classes due to weather. If the instructor must cancel class due to weather,
he will make every effort to publish a notification on his web site at www.okcu.edu/jgoulden.
Central Oklahoma is subject to severe spring and summer storms which may produce
tornadoes. In case of abrupt severe weather, the warning sirens will sound. If this occurs while class is
in session, class will be dismissed so that students and faculty can proceed to the nearest storm shelter.
Cheating and Plagiarism Policy:
This course is governed by both the University-wide Academic Honesty policy (2008-9
undergraduate catalog page 40; 2008-9 graduate catalog pages 32-33) and by the Department of
Computer Science Academic Honesty Policy. You will be required to sign and return a copy of the
Department policy as an acknowledgement that you have read and understand that policy. Aspects of
this course in which these issues are particularly relevant are noted in the paragraphs below and will be
discussed in class.
Homework Assignments:
The midterm study guides attached to the syllabus might be considered homework. This
material is designed to allow you to prepare for the midterm and final examinations. This material
includes programs (or fragments of programs) that you should implement in the Java programming
language. Study guide problems are not collected or graded. However, the instructor will gladly assist
you in completing problems or evaluating your work on request.
Other homework assignments might be made during the semester. If so, the nature of the
assignment and the due date will be provided at that time. This homework will be collected, evaluated,
graded, and returned. Make sure that your name is at the top of the first page (no cover pages please)
and staple multi-page assignments once in the upper-left corner.
In-Class Quizzes:
Quizzes, both announced and unannounced, will be administered throughout the semester. The
instructor will often use the first five minutes of class time for quizzes. Material is taken from the
current lecture material, homework, and reading assignments. Quiz scores will be incorporated into the
“daily work” component of your grade. Some quizzes and worksheets are considered to be extra credit
and can only increase your grade!
OOP – Revised 3/6/2016
Lab Assignments and Programs:
This is a programming course, and you will write several programs during the semester.
Programs will be graded using several criteria: internal documentation, consistent style, appropriate use
of the programming language, and how well they satisfy the specifications given in the problem
statement. These grading criteria will evolve as your mastery of the language progresses during the
course.
A portion of your lab grade will be determined (in most cases) by a worksheet. To complete the
worksheet you must design and implement programs in lab. Other, more challenging lab projects will
require more extensive write-ups. Some lab work will be submitted on your personal web page
provided by OCU, where it will be inspected and evaluated by the instructor at a later date.
Lab will often begin with a brief lecture. Thus, it is important that you be on time to labs or you
will not hear this important material.
Exams:
All in-class exams are closed book and closed notes. Exam problems are taken from the lecture
material, from the reading, and from the homework assignments. Exam questions may be of any type:
problems to be solved, essay, fill-in-the-blank, multiple choice, and so on. Students may not leave the
room during an exam for any reason; if you must leave the room, you must also turn in your exam.
Book Check:
Beginning with the third week of class, the instructor may conduct “book checks” to ensure that
each student has a copy of the textbook. Make sure you bring your text to every lecture and lab session.
Book check will be incorporated into your homework grade.
OOP – Revised 3/6/2016
Proposed Schedule for MS 5003 (Object-Oriented Programming in Java):
As is usual in proposed course schedules, this schedule is subject to change. You should read the given
chapter from the course text before attending the lecture. Numbers indicate the chapter of the text that
should be read before lecture on that day. ‘x’ indicates material that is not in your text.

For each exam, you are expected to study and review all of the following:
Lecture notes, handouts, quizzes, and worksheets
Laboratory exercises
Bold-faced terms in each chapter (even if no exercises are given for that chapter)
Chapter Summary in each chapter (even if no exercises are given for that chapter)
As the semester progresses, you will read, analyze, and write Java programs on the midterms. You are
expected to be able to write simple Java programs from memory. However, you will never be required
to memorize or write GUI methods in Java on a closed-book exam, nor will you be expected to
memorize methods of predefined classes beyond what is commonly used in lecture or lab or explicitly
given in one of the review problems below.
