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 Outline:
Course
Rules:
· Attendance to the lectures and laboratory is mandatory. Although not listed in the grade percentage I may give quizzes randomly. I may assign a percentage of grading to quizzes and attendance. 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 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
instructor accordingly. It is NOT possible to attend 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 15-16
June 2009 (depending on your lab schedule) and send an e-mail to Semih Energin
(and also the lab instructors of your section) 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
22-23 June 2009, Monday-Tuesday (depending on your lab schedule). You are
expected to interact with your lab instructors in the lab and finalize your
requirements specification reports. 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 8-9 July 2009,
Wednesday-Thursday (depending on your lab schedule). You are expected to
interact with your lab instructors in the lab and finalize your user interface
design reports. 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 15-16 July 2009,
Wednesday-Thursday (depending on your lab schedule). You are expected to
interact with your lab instructors in the lab and finalize your detailed design
stage reports. 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. Some tips about the implementation of projects can be found
in Implementation
Stage. Each project group will make an approximately 12 minutes project
presentation (you should organize your presentation as10 minutes presentation
and 2 minutes questions) of their projects on 24 July 2009, Friday at Mithat
Coruh Ampthitheatre. Each student must attend the presentations and demos in
his/her section, although s/he may also attend the presentations and demos of
other sections. If a student fails to attend the presentations or the demos,
s/he will fail the course directly. The schedule will be as follows: Section 1
9:00-11:30, Section 2 11:30-14:00, Section 3 14:00-16:30, Section 4
16:30-19:00. You must upload your presentations and demos 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 25 July 2009 Saturday) to the lab instructors before
the final exam. The CD must be clearly labeled and put in a CD envelope (which
should also have a label indicating
group members, the name of the project, etc.). 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).
