Course Description: This course is a continuation of Programming in Java I (CS 209). Topics include:
advanced topics in object-oriented programming, advanced graphical user
interfaces (GUIs), multithreaded programs, networking, database connectivity,
structured data types, server-side software including servlets and Java Server
Pages, reusable integrable components, and enterprise applications.
Prerequisite: CS 209 or permission.
Course Objectives: At the completion of the course, students should be able to:
1. Design, write, debug, and execute Java programs, namely applets and
applications, using an object-oriented approach.
2. Use the existing standard Java class libraries and their Application Programming
Interfaces (APIs) to develop Java programs.
3. Design, write, and debug Java programs that include advanced graphical user
interface (GUI) components.
4. Design, write, and debug Java programs that include advanced GUI layout
managers.
5. Design, write, and debug multithreaded Java programs.
6. Design, write, and debug Java programs that implement a client-server design for
use on computer networks, both LANs and WANs.
7. Design, write, and debug Java programs that include the development and use of
structured data types.
8. Design, write, and debug Java programs that incorporate Java Database
Connectivity.
9. Design, write, and debug Java programs that include the use of Remote Method
Invocation (RMI).
10. Design, write, and debug JavaBeans for reuse and integration into programs
written by other developers.
11. Design, write, and debug Java programs that consist of applications in other
disciplines such as the sciences, engineering, and business.
12. Write documentation that is included in the internal program modules.

Course Design:
1) Meeting Times MW 5:30 to 7:35PM.
2) Homework is assigned regularly and must be done to pass this course. Homework
is very important. It’s a chance you have to practice & learn the material. Homework
will be collected and graded. Late homework is not accepted. If you can’t make it
to class then email the homework using the email rules. Some test questions are
very similar to the homework questions, so doing homework definitely results in
higher grades. (HW assignments will be posted on the course web site )
3) Tests are given at the completion of chapters or related chapters. Tests are
announced in advance and cannot be missed (N.B. except in exceptional
circumstances). A grade of zero is given for missed tests. Make-ups for missed tests
must be scheduled within 1 week of the original test date, 15 pts is automatically
deducted on make-ups scheduled more than 1 week after the original test’s date. It
is a student’s responsibility to set up a date/time with the instructor for this purpose &
to provide written documentation as to the reason for the absence. There will be two
tests and one final cumulative exam (the final counts as 2 regular tests for average
purposes i.e. score is doubled). Tests will be given on angel.ecc.edu.
LABS: There are weekly lab exercises with questions that need to be answered or programs that
need to be written. These are due the next lab period. No lates are accepted. The labs are to
be submitted by email in a zipped format.
PROJECTS: none
Grading Procedure: Your semester average will be determined by using the following weighting:
Labs
50%
Hour tests & final
50%
Homework
bonus 10%
Your final grade will be a mean average of the three weighted components listed above.
These letter grades are assigned for the associated numeric average:
A (100 - 90)
B (89 - 80)
C (79 - 70)
D (69 - 60)
F (below 60)
+/- grades will be given where appropriate
Students with Disabilities: Any student who requires accommodations to complete the requirements &
expectations of this course because of disabilities (physical or mental) is
invited to make their needs known to the instructor and the Counselor for
Students with Disabilities :
Heather Hewson office: S205 phone: 851-1495 email: hewson@ecc.edu
GENERAL COMMENTS: It is the student's responsibility to keep up with the readings, homework, lab
assignments and projects. If you are having trouble with your programming,
do not wait until the last minute to seek help. Ask questions!
Attendance Policy: Attendance is required and taken for every class. Regular attendance is
necessary to pass this course. Poor attendance & failure to do homeworks, labs
and projects are the major causes of failure.
You are responsible for all material covered during an absence. If you are late to
class, you must notify me at the end of class otherwise you will be marked as
being absent.
Classroom "etiquette" expectations:
Attend classes and pay attention. Do not ask the instructor in class to go over material
you missed by skipping a class or not concentrating.
Do not come to class late or leave early. If you must enter a class late, do so quietly and
do not disrupt the class by walking between the class and the instructor. Do not leave
class unless it is an absolute necessity.
Do not talk with other classmates while the instructor or another student is speaking. If
you have a question or a comment, please raise your hand, rather than starting a
conversation about it with your neighbor.
Show respect and concern for others by not monopolizing class discussion. Allow
others time to give their input and ask questions. Do not stray from the topic of class
discussion.
Do not eat and/or drink during class time.
Before entering class turn off all electronics: cell phones, pagers, and beeper watches.
These devices are disruptive to the class and their use during a lecture is rude to the
class and instructor.
No cell phones should be in your hands during class. This means no fiddling with your
phones, reading/sending text messages, etc.
If you are expecting an important phone call, do not attend class.
Penalty for cell phone abuse during class:
5 points/incident subtracted from your final grade
A student who really abuses this policy will be given a final grade of F
Avoid audible and visible signs of restlessness; these are both rude and disruptive to
the rest of the class.
Focus on class material during class time. Sleeping, talking to others, doing work for
another class, reading the newspaper, checking email, and exploring the internet are
unacceptable and can be disruptive.
Do not pack book bags or backpacks to leave until the instructor has dismissed class.
Don’t ask,” What are my grades?” You should save all tests and graded assignments &
know how you are doing in the course.
Don’t ask,” Do you drop the lowest grade?” No, I don’t.
Please act like a mature adult at all times – this is not grade or high school. It’s not
required by law that you be in this class; you’re free to leave at any time but I hope you
will stay & learn to enjoy ( maybe even LOVE ! ) computer programming.

Cheating and Plagiarism Policy: Cheating on tests, graded assignments, and projects will not be
tolerated. A first offense will result in an F grade on the assignment
for both "giver" and "receiver". A second offense will result in an
automatic grade of F for the course. Cheating includes copying
electronically as well as by hand. Never leave your disks or
printouts lying around.
In the instance of suspected cheating or plagiarism, the instructor
must inform the student of the alleged misconduct. The instructor
may then dismiss the student for the course with such action
carrying with it the issuance of an automatic F.
Following the dismissal from the course, the student has the right to
appeal such sanction through the student grievance procedure.
