Course: CIS111B ONLN. CS2: Object-Oriented Programming MCCC Credits: 3
This course introduces students to the object-oriented programming paradigm and focuses on the definition and use of classes and the fundamentals of object-oriented design. It is designed for students that already have a firm foundation in procedural programming concepts. A high-level programming language such as Java or C++ is used. This is the second course for computer majors.
Prerequisites: CIS 111, with "C" or better or equivalent experience in procedural programming techniques
Professor: Dr. Moulton Semester: Fall, 2009

Class Format:
This is an asynchronous class which will allow you flexibility within the weekly framework to study at times convenient for you. Weekly lectures and assignments will be posted on the Course Documents board each Tuesday evening by midnight. Weekly assignments will be due the following Tuesday evening by 11:59 PM in order to receive full credit. The discussion group will be available to you 24/7 for the purpose of interacting with the class (posting questions, answers, helpful hints, etc.). Private communication will be available through e-mail, phone, and/or office visits. The only on-campus requirements will be the mid-term and final exams which can be scheduled at your convenience in the testing center on the Central Campus or West Campus.
