Title (Units): COMP2007 Object Oriented Programming (3,3,2)

Course Aims: To study the object-oriented programming principles and techniques. Upon
completion, students should be able to use an object-oriented language to develop
computer programs for problem solving.

Prerequisite: COMP 1005 Essence of Computing

Course Intended Learning Outcomes (CILOs):

Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to:

No. Course Intended Learning Outcomes (CILOs)

Knowledge
1 Describe the elements and principles of object-oriented programming
2 Apply the object-oriented concepts to software design
3 Describe the importance of programming styles, implementation and testing
Professional Skill
4 Design and develop object-oriented computer programs
5 Formulate problems as steps so as to be solved systematically
Attitude
6 Integrate robustness, reusability, and portability into software development

Calendar Description: This course introduces the object-oriented programming concepts, principles, and
techniques, including classes, objects, inheritance, and polymorphism. All these
concepts are illustrated via a contemporary object-oriented programming
language.

Teaching and Learning Activities (TLAs):

CILOs Type of TLA

1, 3, 5 Students will learn the elements of an object-oriented programming language and the
object-oriented principles via lectures and tutorials.
1-6 Tutorials and machine problems are designed for students to incorporate object-oriented
techniques into their programs.

Assessment:

No. Assessment Weighting CILOs to be Description of Assessment Tasks

Methods addressed
1 Continuous 40% 2-6 Continuous assessments are designed to measure
Assessment how well the students have learned the
fundamentals and major concepts of object-oriented
programming. A number of machine problems will
be given to students to train them to design
programs via the object-oriented approach. Practical
tests will be used to test their programming
capabilities.
2 Examination 60% 1-6 Final examination questions are designed to see
how far students have achieved their intended
learning outcomes. Questions will primarily be
concepts and skills based to assess the student's
ability in object-oriented programming.
