Major Concepts/Content: Programming in Java II is a one-semester course designed to teach students Java programming concepts using a structured approach.  Students will develop Java applications and applets.  Problem solving and program documentation will be emphasized.

Major Instructional Activities: Students will analyze a problem, design a solution, write the program needed to solve the problem, test the program and make the necessary corrections in the program. Activities will include hands-on programming, group and individual assignments and special projects. Students may demonstrate the ability to communicate with instructor and peers via communications software. Students will use electronic learning services to access additional resources.

Major Evaluative Techniques: Assessment will be accomplished by

• Successful completion of assignments.
• Assignments will be evaluated for structure, the correct use of programming statements, documentation, conciseness, and appropriateness of the solution to the problem.
• Success may be demonstrated by written tests, oral tests, class work, projects, or other means deemed appropriate by the instructor.

Essential Objectives: Upon completion of the course, students should be able to

• Use structure charts to diagram algorithm design and program flow.
• Demonstrate the ability to use top-down programming design.
• Write, compile, and execute Java programs.
• Demonstrate knowledge of Object Oriented programming.
• Use appropriate programming structures for looping and branching through the use of conditionals, counters, and subroutines.
• Read and write data using Java streams.
• Demonstrate the ability to manipulate variables.
• Develop platform-independent GUIs.
• Solve browser compatibility problems.
