CPSC 1302. Computer Science 2 (3-0-3) Prerequisite: CPSC 1301 and CPSC 1301L with a grade of C or better. This course is a continuation of CPSC 1301 and emphasizes programming using object-oriented methods. The fundamentals used in designing, developing and using classes, encapsulation, inheritance mechanisms, polymorphism and dynamic binding are covered.
Course Objectives: This course is the second in a two course sequence designed to introduce students to the fundamental concepts of computer science and programming. The course focuses on the design of algorithms to solve problems and the implementation of those algorithms in the programming language Java. Students will learn to manipulate arrays, to implement inheritance and polymorphism, exception handling, recursive programming, and basic data structures.
ACADEMIC OBJECTIVES
· Arrays
· Inheritance
· Polymorphism
· Sorting
· Searching
· Exceptions
· Recursion
· Collections and Data Structures

Instructional Methods and Techniques
How to Access the Course
This course includes WebCT Vista (Cougarview). You can access WebCT Vista at: http://webct.ColumbusState.edu/
At this page, select the "Log on to" WebCT Vista link to activate the WebCT Vista logon dialog box, which will ask for your WebCT Vista username and password. Your Vista WebCT username and password are:
Username: lastname_firstname
Password: XXXX
Default password is your birthday in the format of DDMMYY.
If you try the above and WebCT Vista will not let you in, please use the "Comments/Problems" link on the WebCT Vista home page to request help. If you are still having problems gaining access a day or so after the class begins, please e-mail me immediately.
Once you've entered WebCT Vista, you will see a list of courses you have access to. The CPSC 1302 course is listed as "Computer Science 2". Next to this, you should see my name as the instructor. You may also see new discussion postings, new calendar postings, and new mail messages. Clicking on the name of the course will take you to the course's home page. If you do not see the "Computer Science 2" course in the list, please e-mail me immediately.
Once you have clicked on the course's name and accessed the particular course itself, you will find a home page with links to other sections and tools, and a menu on the left-hand side. Feel free to explore the areas in the course.
Website
It is your responsibility to frequently look at the course website to keep
your knowledge of class activities current. For this course, the website
is at http://csc.ColumbusState.edu/summers. I may occasionally forget to
announce details in class, but they may have been already posted on the site
and/or in WebCT. If so, you will still be held responsible for them. For
example, assignment due dates, corrections of errors, announcements, exam
dates, changes to policies, and so on.
Discussion Etiquette
CSU is committed to open, frank, and insightful dialogue in all of its courses. Diversity has many manifestations, including diversity of thought, opinion, and values. Students are encouraged to be respectful of that diversity and to refrain from inappropriate commentary. Should such inappropriate comments occur, I will intervene as I monitor the dialogue in the discussions. I will request that inappropriate content be removed from the discussion and will recommend university disciplinary action if deemed appropriate. Students as well as faculty should be guided by common sense and basic etiquette. The following are good guidelines to follow:
Never post content that is harmful, abusive; racially, ethnically, or religiously offensive; vulgar; sexually explicit; or otherwise potentially offensive.
Student Responsibilities
As a student in this course, you are responsible to:
“I didn’t know” is NOT an acceptable excuse for failing to meet the course requirements. If you fail to meet your responsibilities, you do so at your own risk.
Instructor Responsibilities
As your instructor in this course, I am responsible to:
Although I will read every posted discussion question and response, I will not necessarily respond to every post.
Student Web Server Space
There may be times when you will want to use an actual Web server in response to discussion questions, for assignments, or for projects. All currently enrolled CSU students (including online students) can request free Web server space on the CSU student Web server. Simply go to http://webs.ColumbusState.edu/personal/ and click on the "Free Web Pages" icon. Then click on the link to request the account. Under normal circumstances, the account and space will be created in a matter of seconds. This server is also .NET capable.
CLASS ATTENDANCE: Class attendance is the responsibility of the student, and it is the student's responsibility to independently cover any materials missed. Class attendance and participation may also be used in determining grades. It is your responsibility to sign a roll sheet for every class meeting. At my discretion, I may drop you from the course for more than six (6) absences. Missing an exam or quiz is considered an absence. Missed classes caused by participation in documented, formal, University-sponsored events will not count as absences provided you notify me of such anticipated absences in advance and as soon as possible.
You are responsible for all class work missed, regardless of the reason for the absence(s). Late assignments will not be accepted, so if you are absent on the day an assignment is due, it is your responsibility to make alternate arrangements. No makeup exams or quizzes will be given, so please make sure you are present for all exams/quizzes. Refer to the CSU Catalog (http://aa.ColumbusState.edu/advising/a.asp#AbsencePolicy) for more information on class attendance and withdrawal.
Academic dishonesty For assignments, access to notes, textbook, books and other publications is allowed. Stealing, giving or receiving any code, diagrams, drawings, text or designs from another person (CSU or non-CSU) is not allowed. Having access to another person’s work on the system or giving access to your work to another person is not allowed. It is your responsibility to keep your work confidential. No cheating in any form will be tolerated. The penalty for the first occurrence of academic dishonesty is a zero grade on the assignment or exam/quiz; the penalty for the second occurrence is a failing grade for the course. For exams/quizzes, access to any type of written material or discussion of any kind (except with me) is not allowed.
