III. Course Description
|
Course introduces Java programming language. Content focus is on solving numerically intensive applications present in scientific and engineering fields. Numerical algorithms implemented using object-oriented programming tools and elementary data structures.
|
| |
IV. Course Objectives |
A. Compose, edit, compile and execute
programs written in the Java programming language.
B . Apply the tools of problem analysis and algorithmic development
to problems from the natural sciences and engineering.
C. Design programs using the essential programming tools:
modularity, selection and repetition.
D. Implement programming solutions using data structures such
as files and arrays.
E. Design class objects demonstrating the proper use of encapsulation and data abstraction
F. Survey elementary numerical algorithms.

V. Academic Integrity: |
Students and employees at Oakton Community College are required to demonstrate academic integrity and follow Oakton’s Code of Academic Conduct. This code prohibits:
- cheating,
- plagiarism (turning in work not written by you, or lacking proper citation),
- falsification and fabrication (lying or distorting the truth),
- helping others to cheat,
- unauthorized changes on official documents,
- pretending to be someone else or having someone else pretend to be you,
- making or accepting bribes, special favors, or threats, and
- any other behavior that violates academic integrity.
|
|
There are serious consequences to violations of the academic integrity policy. Oakton’s policies and procedures provide students a fair hearing if a complaint is made against you. If you are found to have violated the policy, the minimum penalty is failure on the assignment and, a disciplinary record will be established and kept on file in the office of the Vice President for Student Affairs for a period of 3 years.

Details of the Code of Academic Conduct can be found in the Student Handbook.
