Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
Enforced Prerequisite:
COSC1519 Introduction to Programming
You may not enrol in this course unless one of these courses is explicitly listed in your enrolment program summary.
Note it is a condition of enrolment at RMIT that you accept responsibility for ensuring that you have completed the prerequisite/s and agree to concurrently enrol in co-requisite courses before enrolling in a course.
For your information the RMIT Course Requisites policy can be found at Course requisites – 7.29.1.6: http://www.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=twx09y07zi1c
Course Description
This course introduces Object-Oriented programming using the Java programming language. This course covers: algorithm development using standard control structures; design methods such as step-wise refinement and object oriented programming; the use of standard Java classes and interfaces; the use of standard APIs; I/O processing; and programming style and code reuse.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
This course contributes to the following Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) for BP162 Bachelor of Information Technology and BP232 Bachelor of Technology (Computing Studies):
PLO1. Enabling Knowledge: You will gain skills as you apply knowledge effectively in diverse contexts.
PLO2. Critical Analysis: You will learn to accurately and objectively examine and consider computer science and information technology (IT) topics, evidence, or situations, in particular to:
- Analyse and model requirements and constraints for the purpose of designing and implementing software artefacts and IT systems
- Evaluate and compare designs of software artefacts and IT systems on the basis of organisational and user requirements.
PLO3. Problem Solving: Your capability to analyse problems and synthesise suitable solutions will be extended as you learn to:
Design and implement software solutions that accommodate specified requirements and constraints, based on analysis or modelling or requirements specification.
PLO4. Communication: You will learn to communicate effectively with a variety of audiences through a range of modes and media, in particular to:
Present a clear, coherent and independent exposition of software applications, alternative IT solutions, and decision recommendations to both IT and non-IT personnel via technical reports of professional standard and technical presentations.
PLO5. Team Work: You will learn to work as an effective and productive team member in a range of professional and social situations, in particular to:
Work effectively in different roles, to form, manage, and successfully produce outcomes from teams, whose members may have diverse cultural backgrounds and life circumstances, and differing levels of technical expertise.
PLO6. Responsibility: You will be required to accept responsibility for your own learning and make informed decisions about judging and adopting appropriate behaviour in professional and social situations. This includes accepting the responsibility for independent life-long learning. Specifically, you will learn to:
Effectively apply relevant standards, ethical considerations, and an understanding of legal and privacy issues to designing software applications and IT systems.
Upon successful completion of this course you should be able to:
- Solve simple algorithmic computing problems using basic control structures and Object-Oriented Techniques.
- Design and implement computer programs based on analysing and modelling requirements.
- Identify and apply basic features of an Object-Oriented programming language through the use of standard Java (Java SE) language constructs and APIs.
- Identify and apply good programming style based on established standards, practices and coding guidelines.
- Use GitHub for software development
Overview of Learning Activities
The learning activities may include: review of pre-recorded lectures, completion of preparation activities, lectorials, laboratory-based activities, webinars, post-lecture exercises, assignment and project work, and self-study.
Canvas: All learning materials will be available on Canvas including lecture notes, tutorial and lab exercises, example source code and recorded lectures. Students will also participate in discussion with staff and other students via the online discussion board.
A total of 120 hours of study is expected during this course, comprising:
Teacher-directed hours: Teacher-directed activities may include lectorials, webinars, laboratory-based activities and QA sessions. The teacher-directed hours may vary depending on delivery mode location. Refer to Part B of the course guide for details applicable to each of the study period and location.
Student-directed hours: You are expected to be self-directed, studying independently outside class. Student-directed activities may include pre-lecture preparation, post-lecture revision, completion of tutorial exercises, completion of assignments, and project work. The student-directed hours may vary depending on delivery mode location.
Overview of Learning Resources
The course is supported by the Canvas learning management system which provides specific learning resources. See the RMIT Library Guide at http://rmit.libguides.com/compsci
Overview of Assessment
The assessment for this course comprises a laboratory component, a practical programming assignment component and a take-home coding assessment. The assignment work will be evaluated in terms of functional correctness as well as the quality of your source code and documentation.
The assessment tasks are in two schedules: A and B. You will be advised at the start of the teaching period which of the two schedules apply for any given teaching period and location.
Note: This course has no hurdle requirements.
Assessment tasks
