CS 2334: Programming Structures and Abstractions
(Fall 2016)
NOTE: the last day to enroll in classes (including this class) is Friday, August 26
This is your second course in programming. We will focus on
abstraction and programming methodologies including: inheritance,
abstract data types, integrated development environments, unit tests,
test driven development, and ethics.
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
- Analyze simple computing problems and define the requirements
that are appropriate to their solution.
- Apply design and development principles to the implementation
of a solution to the computing problems. Specifically,
implement a program in Java using abstract data types and objects.
- Demonstrate sophisticated use of objects, inheritance,
polymorphism, and generics in Java programming.
- Evaluate and analyze the correctness of your implementations, and use
this information to make further implementation changes.
- Use an integrated development and debugging environment,
including unit tests.
- Evaluate and analyze the professional, ethical, legal, security
and social issues that are faced by computer scientists,
specifically in the areas of intellectual property rights and privacy.
ABET Student Outcomes to be addressed:
-
B: An ability to analyze a problem, and identify and define the computing requirements appropriate to its solution
-
C: An ability to design, implement, and evaluate a computer-based system, process, component, or program to meet desired needs
-
E: An understanding of professional, ethical, legal, security, and social issues and responsibilities.
- K: An ability to apply design and development principles in the construction of software systems of varying complexity
Prerequisites: CS 1323 and Mathematics 1823. You are expected to have
a working knowledge of Java, including a familiarity
with its basic data types and control structures, and an
understanding of basic program abstraction and organization.

- Programming in Java (Zyante) at
http://zybooks.zyante.com. More details coming soon.
- Book code: OUCS2334FaggFall2016
- When you create your Zyante account, please use your OU
email address (the one with your full name). We will otherwise be unable to match
your Zyante grades with your Canvas identity.
- Account creation instructions
- A
Gift of Fire: Social, Legal, and Ethical Issues for Computing
and the Internet, Sara Baase, Fourth Edition
- We are using Top Hat as an
interactive classroom tool during the semester. This tool
interfaces to your laptop and your cell phone (smart or not).
All students are required to sign up for the Top Hat service
($24 for the semester for all classes; $36 for 12 months of access or $72 for your academic career).
Those enrolled in the class will receive an email invitation to join our Top Hat class (please wait for this email).
Students should read the book chapters ahead of the class period
(see the class schedule). Students
should always make sure to have access to the textbooks and Top Hat
during class periods, including both lectures and labs.
