Overview
- Students learn to design and implement object-oriented programs in Java and to solve simple computational problems.
- Students are introduced to the foundational concepts underlying modern object-oriented programming, in particular objects, classes and methods.
- Students gain an appreciation of the role of object-oriented programming in modern software engineering.
Getting Started
The handbook entry and general unit policies are all available from the online
unit outline.
Read and understand this document, particularly the rules defining satisfactory progress.
Also be aware of the timing and significance of both the HECS census date and the deadline for withdrawal without academic penalty.
Contact Hours
You are required to attend two lectures and a three-hour lab each week.
Supervised labs run in Weeks 2-12.
Also there is an optional workshop each week, mainly directed at those who are completely new to programming.
A six-point unit is a quarter of a full-time workload, so you are expected to commit
10-12 hours/week to CITS1200, averaged over the semester.
Careful attention to time management will ensure that you are not overloaded when deadlines approach.

Assessment
The assessment for CITS1200 consists of lab work, a mid-semester test, a programming project, and a two-hour examination.
| Assessment | Value | Assessment Dates
| | Labs | 10% | Weeks 3 (2%), 5 (2%), 7 (3%), and 9 (3%)
| | Mid-semester Test | 15% | Second lecture in Week 7
| | Project | 15% | Out in Week 9; due at noon, Friday
16 October
| | Final exam | 60% | Semester 1 exam period
|
To pass CITS1200 you need to get ALL of the following:
- an overall mark of at least 50%, AND
at least 40% in the labs and mid-semester test combined, AND
- at least 40% in the final examination.
You can view your ongoing marks at
csmarks.
Java Workshop
This workshop runs in Weeks 2-13 and it is optional.
It is aimed primarily at students with no prior programming experience.
I will go over the week's critical concepts slowly, give additional examples, and encourage all questions, no matter how elementary.
