Prerequisites:

Course Objectives:

Course Content:
We will be studying object oriented programming from the point of view of the Java language.

There will be several short programming projects and a small number of more major design projects. If time permits students will give at least one presentation of their projects in class.

The projects may use threads and concurrency techniques which will enhance the student's understanding of these in the context of object oriented programming.

Gading:

Newsgroups:
Student should subscribe to the newsgroups utsa.cs.4773 and utsa.cs.4773.d. These should be checked for new postings each time you log in.

Notification of final grades:
If you wish to receive your final grades by email, send me an email message some time after the last class and before finals week. The message should have the subject line
CS 4773 Grade Request
and the message should have a valid return address. After I have determined the grades I will reply to your email message.

Course Policy:
Friday, March 19, is the last day to drop this course. No make-up exams will be given except for university sanctioned excused absences. Homework assignments will not be accepted after the due date. Hand in whatever you have finished on an assignment on the due date for partial credit. If you must miss an exam (for a good reason), it is your responsibility to contact me before the exam. Leave a message at the above number or send me email.

You are to do the assignments without collaboration. You can ask me questions about any aspect of an assignment. General discussion with others on the system or on an approach to a problem is constructive and is okay. However, since your grade is based on your assignments, they must be your own work. Students who hand in programs or written assignments which are identical or nearly identical are cheating. This type of scholastic dishonesty usually results in immediate failure in the course and can lead to additional disciplinary action.
