Description:

This course will cover advanced programming topics using Java. Files, recursion, data structures and large program organization will be implemented in projects using object-oriented methodology. Students will write programs using queues, stacks, lists and other concepts covered in the lecture. 3 hrs. lecture, 1.5 hrs. lab/wk. Four-credit-hour CS courses have two hours of open lab per week.

Supplies: Refer to the instructor's course syllabus for details about any supplies that may be required.

   Total               100%

Grading Criteria:

A = 90 - 100% 
B = 80 - 89% 
C = 70 - 79% 
D = 60 - 69% 
F =  0 - 59%
