Course Description
This is a continuation of problem solving and algorithm development in the context of
object-oriented programming techniques. Taught in Java, topics include inheritance,
polymorphism, interfaces, events, threads, data structures. Object-oriented design
principles will be presented in conjunction with applications in graphics and user
interfaces.

Class Format
The lectures will emphasize the most important part of the material. Although this
material is available on this Web site it is important to know which topics are expected to
be known well for the test/exam. Please ask relevant questions during class, or individual
questions at the end of class. Questions which require a more detailed answer will be
addressed during my office hours.
Late Policy
Late assignments or missed midterm tests will not be penalized if medical documentation
is presented. In the case of the missed midterm its weight will be added to the weight of
the assignment + final exam. This system will not apply to the assignment, which must be
submitted. If submitted late with a doctor’s note there will be no penalty. If no doctor’s
note is presented a 5% penalty will be applied for each late day. If you miss the final
exam for medical reasons you have to apply for deferred final examination within a week
from the exam date.
Academic Honesty
The assignment is supposed to be produced through independent work. You may talk to
your classmates but the final form of the assignments must be your own. The penalty for
electronically copied assignments is a zero plus the possibility of a disciplinary action.
