  4. What is this course about • Com S 207. Programming I. (3-1) Cr. 3. F.S. Prereq: Math 150 or placement into Math 140/141/142 or higher. • An introduction to computer programming using an object-oriented programming language. Emphasis on the basics of good programming techniques and style. Extensive practice in designing, implementing, and debugging small programs. Use of abstract data types. Interactive and file I/O. Exceptions/error-handling. This course is designed for nonmajors. • What not listed here is more important: help you understand computational thinking

  5. Objectives • Course is aimed at students with little or no prior programming experience. • Be able to read and understand programs written by others • Be able to figure out how to solve problems using the computer as a tool • Be able to write small scale programs using Java • Learn how to find information on programming using Java

  6. Topic Coverage • Unit -1 – Preliminary Concepts • Introduction to Course • Introduction to programming • Primitive Datatypes • Unit-2 – Objects/Decisions/Loops • Decisions/Loops • Objects • Methods/Libraries • Unit-3 – Arrays/Exceptions • Basic Arrays & ArrayLists • 2D Arrays • If time allows • Recursion/Exc Handling • Inheritance

  7. How to do well in this class • Attend all classes and recitations • Do all homeworks/self-quizzes etc. in a timely manner • Use your resources: instructors, TAs, textbook • You have to write and run your own programs • Ask questions

  8. Grading (tentative) To receive a passing grade you must score at least 55% in the exams, and at least 55% in the programming assignments. For example, if you score 100% in the exams, quizzes, recitations, activities, but score 54% in programming assignments, you will not receive a passing grade..”
