Diploma in Information Technology

INTRODUCTION

The key to developing software is applying the concept of abstraction in the design and implementation of the software project. The overriding objective of this subject is, therefore, to teach how to solve problems using many levels of abstraction, and to teach how to use to see problems in small and in large. This subject includes programming structures, methods, objects, classes, inheritance, AWT, applets, exception handling, multithreading, multimedia. Once you master the principles, programming in JAVA is easy and productive.

2.

AIMS

The focus of this subject is to implement the concept of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) with JAVA. Since a whole lot of the concepts are the same between C# and JAVA, this has been designed such that only parts of the syntax that differ are covered. This course provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to develop JAVA application using JBuilder/JCreator Framework. You will learn how to use the basic components in JAVA along with the language structure, understanding the new packages and classes, and the true object oriented programming of JAVA. The course will introduce you to problem solving from multiple points of view (the programmer's, the users and the client's), programming fundamentals (constructs, concepts and paradigms), application programming using JAVA, issues associated with Applet-based information retrieval, and operationalizing the concepts to give you the opportunity to better understand, through implementation, the fundamentals of java programming & example application for business purposes. Expect to also improve your ability for structured approaches to modeling and solving problems through programming, to better understand and appreciate the roles of information professionals involved in programming, and to learn basic skills in managing the process of building of a small software application. 3.

OVERVIEW OF THE SYLLABUS: The module is organised into four major learning sections as outlined below: 3.1. SECTION 1: The Fundamentals of Java Programming This section introduces to Java applications and applets, and discusses their similarities and differences. Simple examples for writing applications and applets are provided along with brief anatomy on programming structures. 3.2. SECTION 2: Object-Oriented Programming This section begins with objects and classes. The important topics include defining classes, creating objects, using constructors, passing objects to methods, instance and class variables, and instance and class methods. Several examples are provided to demonstrate the power of the object-oriented programming approach. 3.3. SECTION 3: Graphics Programming This section introduces the concepts of Java graphics programming using the AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit). Topics include the AWT class hierarchy, event-driven programming, JDK 1.1 event delegation model, frames, panels, canvases, and simple layout managers (FlowLayout, GridLayout, and BorderLayout). 3.4. SECTION 4: Developing Comprehensive Projects This section teaches students how to define exceptions, throw exceptions, and handle exceptions so that the programs can continue to run or terminate gracefully in the event of runtime errors. This section also introduces threads, which enable the running of multiple tasks simultaneously in one program and teaches students to incorporate both sound, and images to bring live animation to Java programs.

4. LEARNING OUTCOMES On completion of this module, students will be able to:  Create console applications in JAVA  Declare variables, arrays and operators in JAVA  Error handling  Implement the concepts of multithreading in JAVA  Implement OOP’s features such as abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance and interfaces in JAVA

ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENTS: 7.1 INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT (20%) There is an individual assignment element in this module. Students will be given an assignment(s) question related to topics covered between week 1 and week 5 inclusive. The individual assignments are usually practical in nature whereby students will be required to apply the question to a real time scenario. 7.2 PRESENTATION (10%) The students need to present their assignment on week 10 in the form of a PowerPoint presentation or any other presentation tools. Marks will be awarded based on the quality of the presentation, language etc 7.3 PRACTICAL EXAMINATION (30%) Student has to choose 1 out of 3 questions. The question will be a programming question. The student is required to write the program coding in computer using the application editor to produce the output. 7.4 FINAL EXAMINATION (40%) Final Examination is included in this module. It seeks to determine participants’ individual effectiveness in responding to specific questions under time-constrained invigilated conditions. The examination is a closed book examination, requesting participants to demonstrate their knowledge and critical analysis skills in responding to questions covering the module syllabus. 7.5 ASSESSMENT TIMELINES The coursework assignment is to be distributed to students by the end of Week 1 and its submission deadline is no later than week 10. Presentation will be held no later than week 10. The practical examination will be conducted on week 14 / 15 and its duration will be 1 ½ hours. Final examinations will be held at the end of the semester, which is on week 15 7.1. ASSESSMENT CRITERIA Refer to assignment and final examination marking guide. 7.2. ASSESSMENT DESCRIPTOR The following general principles should be used when marking and awarding grade:

Characteristics  

Above 70%

60-69%

50-59%

Excellent work which demonstrates that the student: Possesses an authoritative grasp of the concepts, methodology and content appropriate to the subject and to the assessment  Selects and organises material with consistent success at an exceptionally high stage  Is able to display originality and personal insight and is capable of expressing their argument clearly, concisely and accurately. The student demonstrates:  An above average stage of understanding, organising, interpretation and a clear grasp of methodology suitable focused on the topic  An ability to synthesise material and to construct responses which reveal insight and may offer originality  A grasp of material that enables a coherent response to the assessment task to emerge  An ability to generate work that is accurate and appropriately organised.  The student is able to cover basic subject matter but in a relatively unimaginative and pedestrian manner. Organisation and presentation of material is acceptable but may display some weakness. Limitations in understanding and interpretation and difficulty in linking to relevant material may be evident. 

The student’s performance is only just acceptable in most respects revealing some inadequacies in the grasp of material, weak organising ability and limited communication skills.



The student’s performance is deficient revealing inadequate grasp of material, poor organising ability and poorly developed communication skills.
