Course Description:
CS102 gives you an opportunity to put the basic computer literacy, design and programming skills you learnt in CS101 into practice. The course has two components. The first is simply a continuation of CS101 aimed at expanding the range of techniques you have available to solve problems. These new techniques will be presented in formal lectures and, as in CS101, you will be given lab. assignments designed to let you practice them. Material in this section includes recursion, files and some basic data structures, plus a little about object-oriented programming, event-driven architectures, searching and sorting. There will be written exams on these topics. The second component of the course is a summer school-long design project. The ultimate goal is to produce a commercial-quality program which is fully documented, bug-free and easy to use. You will work in groups, each group selecting possibly a different project. You will be expected to prepare a number of written reports and to present these in class. These documents will include basic requirements, specifications, detailed design and user manuals. Groups will discuss each other's work and offer suggestions and criticisms on it so as to help improve the final product. Projects will be undertaken using Java. Students will be expected to display creativity and an ability to learn independently.

Course
Rules:
· Attendance to the lectures and laboratory is mandatory. Although not listed in the grade percentage I may give quizzes randomly. You may fail the course if the attendance is below a certain percentage. Those who fail to attend more than one lab without any excuse (a valid medical report, etc.) will fail the course.
·
You
should get at least 30 / 100 from the final exam and from the project to pass the
course.
·
There
will be a course project that should be done in groups of at most five
students. You should choose a project from the following list or you can come
up with your own project topic. Project groups should do the labs together
since some part of the project work will be done in the labs. You should
arrange your project /lab groups accordingly. You can also arrange project
groups with students from other sections. In this case, you should arrange your
lab schedule with the lab instructır accordingly. It is NOT possible to
attaned the labs in different sections for the students belonging to the same
project group, since some part of the projects will be done in the labs.
·
You
should follow the steps of the software life cycle for your project. That is,
you will prepare a software requirements specification report, a user interface
design report, a detailed software design report, complete the implementation
(and make a demonstration). You should select your project topic until 16-17
June 2008 (depending on your lab schedule) and send an e-mail to Ridvan
Dongelci specifying your project group members and project title. Specify CS102
in the subject of your e-mail. You will complete your project requirements
specification report in the labs on 23-24 June 2008, Monday-Tuesday (depending
on your lab schedule). Detailed information about how to prepare a requirements
specification report can be found in Requirements Specification Report .You
will complete your user interface design report in the labs on 7-8 July 2008,
Monday-Tuesday (depending on your lab schedule). Detailed information about how
to prepare a user interface design report can be found in User Interface Design Report.
You will complete your detailed design stage in the labs on 16-18 July 2008,
Wednesday-Friday (depending on your lab schedule). Detailed information about
how to prepare a detailed design report can be found in Detailed Design Stage.
You will complete the implementation of your projects in the remaining labs
until 24 July 2008, Thursday. Some tips about the implementation of projects
can be found in Implementation
Stage. Each project group will make an approximately 15 minutes project
presentation (you should organize your presentation as12 minutes presentation
and 3 minutes questions) and a 5 minute demonstration of their projects on 24
July 2008, Thursday starting at 12:30 at Mithat Coruh Ampthitheatre. Each
student must attend the presentations and demos in his/her section. If a
student fails to attend the presentations or the demos, s/he will fail the
course directly. You must upload your presentations and demonstrations to the
respective computers provided by the lab instructors beforehand. You cannot
change computers during the presentations due to tight schedule. In your
presentation, you should mention about the requirements of your project (what
are the functionalities expected), your user interface design, high level class
design of your project (use class diagrams), details of the important methods
(you can use pseudo-code to explain them), and implementation details, like the
language and data structures you used.
·
Each project group must submit a CD containing
three directories (until 28 July 2008 Monday) to the lab instructors before the
final exam. The CD must be clearly labeled and put in a CD envelope. It must
include three directories with the following content: Documentation
(Requirements Specification Report, User Interface Design Report, Detailed
Design Report), Implementation (Source Codes, Executables, Readme.txt
explaining how to install and run your program, required libraries, databases,
etc.), Presentation (Powerpoint file).
