2. Course Description
111CSS-4 & 111CSS-4 (fundamental of Language) is the first programming course in the curriculum. This
course offers an introduction to computer science and computer programming in Java. With emphasis on
object-oriented programming (OOP) practice and problem-solving skills. The first part of the course is a
stepping stone, preparing you to embark on the journey of learning Java. You will begin to learn about Java
and fundamental programming techniques with primitive data types, variables, constants, assignments,
expressions, and operators, selection statements, mathematical functions, characters, and strings, loops,
methods, and arrays.

Honor Code / Cheating

Cheating is defined as giving or receiving unauthorized aid on any assignment, test, or project, or not
documenting an outside source of information should one be used. Also, if another person authorized the
use of their code this is considered cheating.  Everything developed in this class must be one’s own; it must
come from one’s own mind, through one’s appendages, to the computer. All of this is unacceptable and will
.not be tolerated.  Offenses may be reported in accordance with the Najran University student handbook

Academic sanctions are as follows. For every offense, the student will receive a grade of 0 for the
.assignment and be reduced by one full letter grade. Multiple offenses result in a grade of F for the course
