Course Description

This course is a continuation of CIS-2261 and covers additional concepts in object-oriented programming such as inheritance and polymorphism, exceptions and exception handling, the Java collections framework (lists, sets, maps, and iterators), creating and using packages, and creating graphical user interfaces. Prerequisite: Introduction to Java I.

Essential Objectives

1. Understand and use simple inheritance, polymorphism, and interfaces.
2. Demonstrate exception handling: the unwanted or unexpected event that occurs during the execution of a program.
3. Define basic I/O classes, including reading data from a source and writing data to a destination.
4. Use the Java collections framework to reduce programming effort, increase performance, and provide interoperability between unrelated APIs.
5. Define existing packages in JAVA as a mechanism to encapsulate a group of classes, sub packages, and interfaces.
6. Create new JAVA packages.
7. Build a GUI which demonstrates an ability to accept input and direct output to the screen and data files.

Attendance Policy

Regular attendance and participation in classes are essential for success in and are completion requirements for courses at CCV. A student's failure to meet attendance requirements as specified in course descriptions will normally result in a non-satisfactory grade.

• In general, missing more than 20% of a course due to absences, lateness or early departures may jeopardize a student's ability to earn a satisfactory final grade.
• Attending an on-ground or synchronous course means a student appeared in the live classroom for at least a meaningful portion of a given class meeting. Attending an online course means a student posted a discussion forum response, completed a quiz or attempted some other academically required activity. Simply viewing a course item or module does not count as attendance.
• Meeting the minimum attendance requirement for a course does not mean a student has satisfied the academic requirements for participation, which require students to go above and beyond simply attending a portion of the class. Faculty members will individually determine what constitutes participation in each course they teach and explain in their course descriptions how participation factors into a student's final grade.

Accessibility Services for Students with Disabilities:

1. Provide disability documentation to the Accessibility Coordinator at your academic center. https://ccv.edu/discover-resources/students-with-disabilities/
2. Request an appointment to meet with accessibility coordinator to discuss your request and create an accommodation plan.
3. Once created, students will share the accommodation plan with faculty. Please note, faculty cannot make disability accommodations outside of this process.
