Textbooks and references:
Required: Applying UML and Patterns, second or third edition, by
Craig Larman, copyright 2002 (2nd), 2005
(3rd), Prentice-Hall. The 2nd edition is just as good as
the 3rd, and more economical if you buy it used from amazon.com,
half.ebay.com, alibris.com, etc.
2nd
Edition says “SECOND EDITION” on the cover, and has an ISBN (above bar code on back
cover) of 0130925691. It is available as of 2008 for prices of about $5 on up
at half.ebay.com and $10-$15 on up at amazon.com. To find it reliably on most
book sites, use the ISBN as the search term.
3rd
Edition says “THIRD EDITION” on the cover, and has an ISBN of 0131489062. It is
available for around $40-$45 on up at half.ebay.com and amazon.com. To find it
reliably on most book sites, use the ISBN as the search term.
Do
*not* get the 1st Edition. Its ISBN is 0137488807 and it does not
say anything on the cover about what edition it is. It is available for under a
dollar (+ shipping) so if you paid that much you probably got the wrong book.
Full UML description is available at http://www.omg.org/technology/documents/formal/uml.htm.
3. Free textbooks are available from http://www.textbookrevolution
Required: A book that can answer your
questions on the Java programming language. You can get lots of them used at low
prices on-line, or buy one at any bookstore. Here are some links to further

Coordinator and instructor: Daniel Berleant
Course Objectives:
Prerequisites: Nominal: IFSC 3320 (databases). However, the course focuses on non-database issues. I would like to assume some programming experience. However, if you don’t have that, see me and we’ll arrange for that not to be necessary in your case.
Homeworks:
Homework assignments will mostly be worth 100 pts.
HWs will often be done in teams of 3-4. Not all
members of a team will necessarily get the same score.
Exams and quizzes:
· Exams (worth 100 pts.) and quizzes (worth substantially less than 100 pts.) may occur on occasion but studying for tests will not be a major focus of the course.
Assignments, Exams, Grading…:
· Latest available grades
· Attendance will often be taken
and will be worth 5 pts. each time.
· In-class exercises may be worth points.
·
Minimum grade on any quiz or assignment will be 50%.
· Grades on team assignments may
be adjusted to reflect individual contributions.
· Originality will be worth 50% of each assignment, so be sure not to copy (or modify a copy) of anyone else’s, and also be sure not to accidentally have your work look like it might have been copied or modified from a copy of anyone else’s assignment.
· Cheating (that includes copying or modifying copies of others’ work) is subject to university policies.
·
Letter grades in the course will be assigned as follows (note that the
registrar does not permit +’s and –’s, so they will not appear on your
transcript):
A (95-100%)
A- (90-95%)
If your grade is ambiguous (e.g. exactly 90%) you will get the higher one.
Special Accomodations:
If you are not feeling well, see me about HWs, tests, quizzes, etc., that are affected.
Students with Disabilities: It is the
policy of the
