Textbook
Absolute Java 5th Edition by Walter Savitch (We are using a special bundle this term. The textbook
should be in a 3 ring binder with an enclosed access code for MyProgrammingLab. You may purchase
the book and code separately but if you do so the access code can only be purchased on the publisher
website)
Prerequisites
CSC 2473 (Intro. to C) or CSC 2843 (Intro. to C++) or instructor approval.
Course Description
An introduction to how Java language is used to develop highly portable applications and applets.
Topics will include data objects, exceptions, threads, and polymorphism.
Goals
The goals of the Introduction to Java Programming course are that students, by mastering the topics
presented in this course, gain valuable problem-solving skills and Java knowledge that will enable
them to become proficient in object-oriented programming with Java characteristics.
Objectives
Upon successful completion of the Introduction to Java Programming course, students will be able to
apply the object-oriented approach to develop applications and applets with graphics, multithreading,
multimedia, exception handling, I/O, and networking.

Academic Dishonesty
Academic dishonesty (cheating) is defined as the deception of others about one’s own work or about
the work of another. Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or tolerated at campuses
within the Tulsa Community College system. Tulsa Community College adopts a policy delegating certain forms of authority for disciplinary action to the faculty. Such disciplinary actions delegated to the
faculty include, but are not limited to, the dismissal of disrespectful or disorderly students from
classes. In the case of academic dishonesty a faculty member may:
•
require the student to redo an assignment or test, or require the student to complete a substitute assignment or test;
•
Record a "zero" for the assignment or test in question;
•
Recommend to the student that the student withdraw from the class, or administratively
withdraw the student from the class;
•
Record a grade of "F" for the student at the end of the semester.
Faculty may request that disciplinary action be taken against a student at the administrative level by
submitting such request to the Dean of Student Services.
Institutional Statement
Each student is responsible for being aware of the information contained in the TCC Catalog, TCC
Student Handbook, Student Code of Conduct Policy Handbook, and semester information listed in
the class schedule. All information may be viewed on the TCC website: www.tulsacc.edu
