Hey, I don't really have access to a fax machine, how about if I come
to campus on monday and take care of the paper work then? I'll
paste the syllabus below. I haven't worked out the grading criteria
yet, but I'll bring that in monday as well.

Course Description

Programming computers is a skill central to Computer Science.
This skill involves translating algorithms, sequences of simple steps
that have complex results, into programs that can be followed by a
computer. High level languages facilitate this translation by allowing
programmers to express their algorithms in a form natural to the
people using the algorithms. Like writing essays, programming in high
level languages is a skill that is best learned by reading well
written programs and trying to emulate them. Also, like essays, the
criterion for a well written program is that others can easily
understand it.

Modern programming 2 is a second level course that focuses on
structured program design, development, coding, and analysis using
Java as a programming language. Also included will be an introduction
to algorithmic efficiency and analysis. A number of programming
exercises will be assigned to illustrate the principles above .


Course Objectives
· To continue the development program design, coding, testing, and debugging.
· To learn objects, classes, and program implementation in the Java language.
· To design ,code, debug, and test well designed useful programs.
· To understand and use in programs a number of fundamental
programming algorithms including: objects, classes, inheritance,
internal sorting/searching procedures .
· To introduce the Big O notation and techniques of algorithmic analysis.

Text book to be assigned later.
