Syllabus

Programming Environment

We will be using the BlueJ integrated development environment in conjunction with the current version of the Java Development Kit (JDK). Instructions for obtaining and installing BlueJ on your own PC can be found here.

If you would like to work here at the University, BlueJ has been installed on the machines in the department's laboratory, PH513. This room is open from 9-9, M-Th, and 9-4:30 on Fridays.

Lab Assignments

Submitting assignments:

In general, unless a particular lab assignment gives different instructions, whenever a lab asks you to write or modify a program, you should hand in a hardcopy of that code, plus a hardcopy of the output of that program. Here are instructions for obtaining hardcopy.

When you hand in your hardcopy, make sure the individual elements appear in the same order as in the assignment. The prelab exercises should be first, followed by the individual programming assignments. Each programming assignment should consist of the hardcopy of its code, followed by hardcopy of sample output of that program.

For most assignments, you are also required to submit the assignment electronically to http://caddis.acad.emich.edu/~hwmatt/student. Here is a movie that shows how to "zip your project", i.e., combine all the files (java files, text files, etc.) comprising your project into a single file. Here is a movie that shows how to use the electronic submission system to submit the resulting .zip file.
