Description

Object-Oriented Analysis and Design is a course that presents an introduction to the design and construction of software systems using techniques that view a system as a set of objects that work together to realize the system's functionality. This perspective stands in contrast to more traditional "procedural" or "structured" design techniques that viewed systems as a set of procedures that manipulate shared data structures. Proponents of object-oriented techniques point to the flexibility and extensibility of object-oriented systems along with other benefits such as increased modularity, abstraction, and encapsulation.Ìý

In this class, we will examine fundamental objected-oriented analysis and design techniques and show how decisions made during analysis and design impact the implementation of software systems. This class does not focus on object-oriented programming; however, we will examine many examples of object-oriented systems written in Java, Python, and other languages. A primary focus will be the understanding and application of key object-oriented principles and design patterns.Ìý

By the end of the class, students will have been exposed to the major steps of object-oriented software development life cycles and will understand the tools and techniques that are used in these steps. They will also have applied these skills to the development of a project and the analysis of real-world object-oriented systems.

Requirements and Format

Attendance and Participation

Class lectures will start promptly at the scheduled class start time. Attendance at every class is encouraged, and attendance will be recorded as part of class participation. It is the student's responsibility to obtain materials handed out in a lecture which the student missed. Students are expected to keep up with the course material. If you get confused or fall behind, schedule an appointment with the professor or a TA as soon as possible.Ìý

Students are expected to participate in class discussions of course topics. In addition, students are expected to assist and work with other students in understanding course material and working on team assignments.Ìý

Students are expected to complete assignments on time. In some cases, project assignments will be accepted late, but the grade earned on the assignment will be reduced – this allowance and reduction will be made clear for each assignment.

Canvas Web-based Instruction

Students must have access to and accounts for Canvas to find materials, get class notices, submit homework, and take quizzes and/or exams. I will use the announcements feature of Canvas for posting information on assignments and class changes. Please ensure you can reach the class Canvas site at (link tbd). It is suggested that you sign up in Canvas account settings for instant notifications of news, content postings, assignment and quiz due dates, and grade updates.

Readings

Course materials include lecture slides, project guides, and other online materials, with frequent references to various texts and other resources. The textbook for the class is a required resource.

• Textbook:
  • Head First Design Patterns
  • By Bates, Sierra, Freeman, & Robson
  • O’Reilly Media, June 2009
  • Available at the campus bookstore, and as a paper book ($42) or e-book ($12 rent, $32 buy) via Amazon. The e-book is also available via O’Reilly Safari (free access to ACM members).
• Course lecture slides, course labs and project material, and links to web sites to support class topics and projects will be embedded in lecture slides and provided via Canvas.

Homework and Projects

Homework and related project assignments will be provided covering material from class lectures. Students may collaborate together on homework as presented in homework details; a group of students collaborating on a homework may turn in one group submission. All homework and reports must be legibly written or typed and must include the students name(s) in the submission. All homework assignments should be turned in at the due date/time presented for the assignment on Canvas. Late homework may be accepted but will be penalized as detailed in class.

Code and reports are expected to be thorough work, including proper references to any supporting materials. Whether working as a team or leveraging software designs from books, magazines, the Internet, or other sources, students are expected and required to cite and credit the source of the information clearly and completely. Plagiarism will not be tolerated and will be reported to the CU Honor Code Office.

Other Assessments

There will be scheduled quizzes most weeks over material presented; these will be provided via Canvas and will be performed outside of class. All quizzes must be completed prior to the Canvas due date/time. There will also be a mid-term and final examination. The quiz and exam assessments are to be done using individual effort alone. Mid-term and final exam logistics, times, and locations will be scheduled and announced.

Evaluation and Grading Procedures

Grading will be based on total points accumulated from each type of assessment and assignment used in the class. A student earning less than 60% of the points possible will be given a failing grade. In all cases, grades may be assigned based on a curve determined by the instructor. The following table shows percentage assignments for final posted class letter grades:

Make-up Exam Policy: No make-up exams are given except for medical or other similar hardships where advanced arrangements are made with the instructor; or in case of non-selective medical emergencies with physician’s note or documentation. Otherwise, failure to take the exam at the scheduled time will result in a zero grade in the exam.Ìý

The overall course grade will be based on participation and attendance, homework/projects, quizzes, and exams. The grade proportions are as follows (note they differ for graduate and undergraduate students):

Undergraduates:Ìý

• Homework/projects 50% (500 points)
• Quizzes 10% (100 points)
• Mid-term and Final Exams 30% (300 points)
• Participation and attendance 10% (100 Points)

Graduates:Ìý

• Homework/projects 40% (500 points)
• Graduate technical report 20% (250 points)
• Quizzes 8% (100 points)
• Mid-term and Final Exams 24% (300 points)
• Participation and attendance 10% (100 points)
