Student will receive a single, final grade assessing his/her performance in the laboratory and lecture components combined. Student must achieve separate passing grades in the laboratory component and in the lecture component of the course in order to be able to earn an overall passing grade in the course. Laboratory component includes the project. Lecture component includes both midterm and final examinations.

Active participations include attending synchronous lab and lecture sessions through Zoom, asking and answering questions in Zoom lab and lecture sessions, posting questions and answers in VIULearn discussion forum.

Learning Outcomes

• Apply object-oriented programming concepts, such as object, class, encapsulation, inheritance, message passing, and polymorphism to design and develop software.
• Choose and use appropriate UML diagrams (class, sequence/collaboration, activity, and state) to analyze and design software.
• Write usecase stories reflecting the stake holder¿s needs of a software system.
• Analyze usecase stories and translate usecase stories into domain models (conceptual class diagrams).
• Design software, i.e., create software design models (software class diagrams, sequence or collaboration diagrams, activity diagrams, state diagrams etc.) from the domain models.
• Apply GRASP and SOLID principles to avoid design smells from the software.
• Apply appropriate design patterns (MVC, Singleton, Adapter, Decorator, Factory, Template Method, Strategy, State, Observer, Facade, Iterator etc.) to improve the quality and the maintainability of the software.
• Develop the software using Java Programming Language and Java Spring Boot Framework (Java MVC Framework).
• Create web based user interface for the software using Thymeleaf HTML templates.
• Test the software using Java Unit (Junit) Test Framework.
• Persists the data of the software in MySQL Database Engine using Java Persistence API (JPA) and Hibernate ORM.
• Build the software using Maven Build Tool.

Labs
You must be enrolled in, and you must fully participate in, the weekly sessions. You must know Java, Javascript, HTML, and SQL to complete the project. Instructor assumes you have enough experience in Java, Javascript, HTML, and SQL. It will be your responsiblity to learn Java, Javascript, HTML, and SQL outside the class if you have any gap. You must complete your project in a team of 4 (four) students.

Computer accounts
To work on your labs and assignments, you will be given accounts for the computing science labs.
There is a user id and password associated with each account (to prevent others from reading your mail).
The appropriate use of these accounts will be discussed in your first lab.

Appeals of Grades:

Any exercise or examination grade may be appealed. However, the appeal must be made to the instructor, in writing and attached to the work in question, and within 7 days of the grade being made available to the class. The instructor reserves the right to re-grade the entire piece of work submitted on appeal, not necessarily just the component that the student believes is in error.

Grade Conversion:

The following grade scale will be used:

Services Available to Students with a Documented Disability

VIU's Disability Access Services (DAS) provides services to students with Learning Disabilities, Mental Health Disabilities, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism, chronic medical conditions, and impairments in mobility, hearing, and vision.

If you have a documented disability requiring academic accommodations in this course but are not yet registered with Disability Access Services, please contact them at disabilityaccessservices@viu.ca or visit them in BLDG 200 (2nd floor).

If you are already registered with DAS, please provide me with your accommodation letter, either in person during my office hours, or by email.

Guidelines Concerning Academic Misconduct

All students taking this course are subject to the Vancouver Island University Student Academic Code of Conduct Procedure. The official policies of Vancouver Island University can be viewed at http://www.viu.ca/policies/.
