Textbook(s): Head First Java™ Second Edition

Course description:
This course enables students to deepen their understanding of Computer science concepts and
theories. Students will continue their exploration of Computer Languages(Java) concepts and
the classes with objects, and primitives ,references, and methods use instance variables.
Students will write a program by themself, get to know the Java API. They will further develop
inheritance and Polymorphism, learning interfaces, abstract classes, constructors and garbage
collection, how to analyze numbers and statics.
This class is scheduled to meet for 4 periods every week.
Course goals/key objectives:

1. Introduce students to Programming such as internet, internet of things,artificial intelligence
2. to develop the skills, strategies, and logical thinking of mind required for Programming
3.to relate Computer science to technology, society, and the environment
Scheme of Assessment:
The final average for this course will be computed according to the following grade breakdown:
Quizzes 15%
Tests 15%
Class Participation 15%
Homework 15%
Midterm Exam (end of fall semester) 15%
Final Exam (end of spring semester) 25%
Class Expectations: Students are expected to spend at least four hours per week in
unsupervised individual study for this course. In addition, the following rules should be
observed in class:
1.Students are expected to report to class on time. Frequent tardiness may lead to disciplinary
action.
2.No sleeping, eating or walking around during class, without permission.
3.The use of cellphone is strictly prohibited in class, unless permitted by the teacher for the

during class and students should pay full attention to the teacher at all other times.
5.Students are expected to come prepared for class. Homework assignments are to be
submitted at the beginning of the class. Unless given a longer extension due to an excused
absence, students will have a two-day grace period to submit homework assignments.
If submitted within one day of submission date, students are eligible for 80% of the total
score.
If submission within two days of submission date, students are eligible for 70% of the total
score.
If submitted more than two days late, students will be awarded zero.
6.A student who misses a quiz, test or lab, due to excused absence, will be expected to make it
up the next working day or at a time decided by the student and teacher.
7.In case of absence due to any reason, it is the student’s responsibility to obtain missed work,
notes or handouts from their classmates or the teacher outside class.
8.Students will be required to handle all laboratory apparatus with care.
