d) 1-Course Description

a. Programmers face problem of modeling real world artifacts in the programming solution
when they move from writing small programs to bigger software applications. Conventional
programming methods fail to resolve this issue. This is where you need to be aware of object
oriented programming to overcome the solution complexities. It takes lots of hours to write well
organized, less complex, scalable and reusable quality programs. What OOP (object oriented
programming) stands for, is just a way to properly organize your code into logical components
that are easier to program, manage and enhance.
This course is designed to familiarize students with basic concepts of OOP like Classes, Objects
and other main characteristics to write OO programs.

b. 2-Objectives
The goal of this course is to:

 1) Provide sound understanding of OOP concepts.
2) Provide students a comparison of structured and Object oriented programming
techniques.
3) Teach students how to transform real world scenarios in OO model.
4) Provide students with the knowledge of relations between classes such as inheritance
and other OOP features.
5) Store and retrieve data from / on disk.

c. 3-Outcomes
d. Students who successfully complete the course should be able to:

1) Implement OOP concepts in programming using high level language such as C++.
2) Justify the need of Object Oriented approach with respect to structured programming
technique.
3) Demonstrate their skills by capturing real world objects into programming objects by
applying OO approach.
4) Design, implement and test the relationships among classes in OO paradigm.
5) Write OO programs capable of storing and retrieving data using file handling.

e) 4-Course Structure

1. Presentation by lecturer
2. Class Activities and lab assignments
3. Group project
4. Quiz

5- Course Duration
This course will be held twice a week of 3-hour class duration.

6- Course style
f) The course will be delivered in a classroom environment.
g)
h) 7- Additional Course Requirement
In addition to the objectives of this course, students are expected to gain skills which
would be needed in the professional work environment. These skills include but not
limited to: Writing, Presentation, Decision Making and Teamwork.

11- Attendance Requirements

You are expected to attend all lectures, seminars, tutorials, and lab sessions or any other
classroom activity. Where you fail to attend classes, you cannot expect the lecturer to
brief you on what you have missed. You are responsible for your attendance, not the
academic staff. Attendance at tutorials and lab sessions will be strictly monitored, and
failure to attend will be taken into account.

a. 12- Submission and Collection of Assignment
All assignments should be handed in at the beginning of the class sessions when they are
due. All assignments may be handed back during scheduled classes.

13- General Information

Students are required to be familiar with the university code of conduct, and to abide by
its terms and conditions.

13.1 Copying of Copyright Material by a Student

A condition of acceptance as a student is the obligation to abide by the University’s
policy on the copying of copyright material. This obligation covers photocopying of any
material using the University’s photocopying machines, and the recording off air, and
making subsequent copies, of radio or television broadcasts, and photocopying textbooks.
Students who flagrantly disregard University policy and copyright requirements will be
liable to disciplinary action under the Code of Conduct.

13.2 Academic Misconduct

Please refer to the Code of Conduct for definitions and penalties for Academic
Misconduct, plagiarism, collusion, and other specific acts of academic dishonesty. A
student may work together with one or a group of students discussing assignment content,
identifying relevant references, and debating issues relevant to the subject. Encouraging
or assisting another person to commit plagiarism is a form of improper collusion and may
attract the same penalties. To prevent Academic Misconduct occurring, students are
expected to familiarize themselves with the University policy, the Subject Outline
statements, and specific assignment guidelines. Students should also seek advice from
Subject Leaders on acceptable academic conduct.

13.3 Guidelines to Avoid Plagiarism

Whenever you copy more than a few words from any source, you must acknowledge that
source by putting the quote in quotation marks and providing the name of the author.
Students are encouraged to co-operate, but collusion is a form of cheating. Students may
work together in obtaining references, discussing the content of the references and
discussing the assignment, but when they write, they must write alone.
