Course Description

A first Computer Science course taught using the Java programming language. Students will build Java applications. Emphasis will be placed on programming fundamentals such as variables, selection and loops as well as object-oriented programming concepts including classes and inheritance. ADVISORY: CIS A090; and CIS A100 or CIS A111. Transfer Credit: CSU; UC. C-ID: COMP 122.C-ID: COMP 122.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Create, compile, execute, and test Java applications.
2. Create programs that correctly apply object-oriented principles.
3. Implement selection structures (if/else and switch), repetition structures (while, do/while, and for), and one- and two-dimensional arrays.

Course Objectives

• 1. Use Java tools to create, compile and run syntactically correct Java programs.
• 2. Demonstrate proficiency applying the fundamental concept of sequence and input-processing-output (IPO).
• 3. Demonstrate proficiency writing programs that use logic and selection statements.
• 4. Demonstrate proficiency using iteration and loops to process strings and arrays.
• 5. Demonstrate proficiency in calling methods with arguments, and defining methods and parameters of different types.
• 6. Solve accumulation, counting and other fundamental algorithms, using the arrays and lists found in the standard Java Class Libraries.
• 7. Demonstrate the ability to read the Java Class Library documentation, create objects using constructors, and call methods.
• 8. Demonstrate proficiency defining classes, making proper use of encapsulation.
• 9. Apply the concept of inheritance to solve various problems
