COURSE TIMES:
PREREQUISITES: Introduction to Java Programming (COP-2250, or equivalent) and Discrete Math (MAD-2104). You must drop the course if you haven't gotten a C or better in a basic programming course. Basic program development skills and debugging skills are assumed.
INSTRUCTOR: Prof. Mark Allen Weiss
OFFICE HOURS: You are free to stop by my office ECS-353 any time you can find me. My office hours represent a time when I am (more or less) guaranteed to be available. This semester this is Tuesday and Thursday 9:30 - 11:00 AM, and 2:00 - 4:00 PM on Tuesdays. My office phone is 305-FIU-2036.

LANGUAGES AND PLATFORMS: This course will be conducted in Java 6.
TEXTBOOK: The course text is Starting Out With Java From Control Structures through Data Structures , by Gaddis and Muganda, earlier chapters of which are used in COP-2250. In this course, we will use primarily Chapters 11, 12, 15-20.
COURSE GRADING: Grades will be based on seven programs, five regular exams, and a final exam.
The programs are each worth 50 points each. The regular exams are each worth 100 points each. The final exam is worth 200 points. I will drop the lowest and highest of the regular exams and progams (but only if doing so actually improves your average). The final exam is held during the finals week timeslot provided by the university.
I reserve the right to change the method of assigning grades, including changing the number of assignments or exams, but in no case will a curve be applied.
PROGRAMS: Barring tragedy, I will not accept late programs. Your submission must include source code and sample output. I will generally specify what the data is. You must work on your own. The assignments and if appropriate, input data, will be placed here.
