CSCI1130 Introduction to Computing Using Java

 

Course code CSCI1130
Course title Introduction to Computing Using Java
計算導論(JAVA語言)
Course description This course aims at providing students with the basic knowledge of computer programming. In particular, programming methodologies such as object-oriented programming and structured programming, and the use of abstract data types will be illustrated using high-level programming languages such as Java.
本科旨在向學生提供計算機程序設計之基礎知識，並以高級程序設計語言（如Java）講解包括面向對象程序設計和結構程序設計等之程序設計方法學及抽象數據類型之運用。

Grading basis Graded
Grade Descriptors A/A-:  EXCELLENT – exceptionally good performance and far exceeding expectation in all or most of the course learning outcomes; demonstration of superior understanding of the subject matter, the ability to analyze problems and apply extensive knowledge, and skillful use of concepts and materials to derive proper solutions.
B+/B/B-:  GOOD – good performance in all course learning outcomes and exceeding expectation in some of them; demonstration of good understanding of the subject matter and the ability to use proper concepts and materials to solve most of the problems encountered.
C+/C/C-: FAIR – adequate performance and meeting expectation in all course learning outcomes; demonstration of adequate understanding of the subject matter and the ability to solve simple problems.
D+/D: MARGINAL – performance barely meets the expectation in the essential course learning outcomes; demonstration of partial understanding of the subject matter and the ability to solve simple problems.
F: FAILURE – performance does not meet the expectation in the essential course learning outcomes; demonstration of serious deficiencies and the need to retake the course.
