Prerequisites
Course Description
An introduction to how Java language is used to develop highly portable applications and applets.
Topics will include data objects, exceptions, threads, and the Abstract Windows Toolkit.
Goals
The goals of the Introduction to Java Programming course are that students, by mastering the topics
presented in this course, gain valuable problem-solving skills and Java knowledge that will enable
them to become proficient in object-oriented programming with Java characteristics.
Objectives
Upon successful completion of the Introduction to Java Programming course, students will be able to
apply the object-oriented approach to develop applications and applets with graphics, multithreading,
multimedia, exception handling, I/O, and networking.
Course Content
The course covers fundamental Java programming and core Java API. Specifically, the following topics
will be included:
3. Java graphics programming: Swing class hierarchy, JDK1.1 event delegation model, creating
user interfaces, drawing geometric figures
4. Java applets: interaction between the Web browser and applets, and conversion between ap-
plications and applets
5. Exception handling: how Java handles exception and how the student can incorporate
exception-handling capability in his/her programs
6. Multithreading and multimedia: using the Thread class and the Runnable interface, anima-
tions, playing audio, and displaying images
Course Grade
Grading Scale
All programming labs and programming projects must be submitted via Blackboard.

There are four deadlines in the course as listed in the agenda. Assignments due prior to those dead-
lines will not be accepted for a grade after the deadline has passed. There is no late penalty for as-
signments submitted prior to the deadlines.

Technical Requirements
The student must meet the requirements as listed on the TCC distance learning web site as well as
any additional requirements listed on the course Blackboard site.
Course Withdrawal
The deadline to withdraw from a course shall not exceed 3/4 the duration of any class. Contact the
Counseling Office at any TCC campus to initiate withdrawal from a course (“W” grade) or to change

ing in the course and fail to withdraw may receive a course grade of “F,” which may have financial aid
consequences for the student.
Communications
Email communications: All TCC students receive a designated “MyTCC” email address (ex:
jane.doe@mail.tulsacc.edu). All communications to you about TCC and course assignments will be
sent to your MyTCC email address; and you must use MyTCC email to send email to, and receive
email from, the instructor regarding this course.
Inclement Weather: TCC rarely closes. If extreme weather conditions or emergency situations arise,
TCC always gives cancellation notices to radio and television stations. This information is also posted
on the TCC website (www.tulsacc.edu).
General Education courses at TCC ensure that our graduates gain skills, knowledge, and abilities that
comprise a common foundation for their higher education and a backdrop for their work and per-
sonal lives. TCC’s General Education goals are: Critical Thinking, Effective Communication, Engaged
Learning, and Technological Proficiency.
Classroom Etiquette
Open and mutually respectful communication of varied opinions, beliefs, and perspectives during
classroom or online discussion encourages the free exchange of ideas that is essential to higher learn-
ing and to the ability to learn from each other. Use of any electronic device is at the discretion of the
instructor.

Academic Dishonesty
Academic dishonesty (cheating) is defined as the deception of others about one’s own work or about
the work of another. Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or tolerated at campuses
within the Tulsa Community College system. Tulsa Community College adopts a policy delegating cer-
tain forms of authority for disciplinary action to the faculty. Such disciplinary actions delegated to the
faculty include, but are not limited to, the dismissal of disrespectful or disorderly students from
classes. In the case of academic dishonesty a faculty member may:
• require the student to redo an assignment or test, or require the student to complete a sub-
stitute assignment or test;
• Recommend to the student that the student withdraw from the class, or administratively
withdraw the student from the class;
• Record a grade of "F" for the student at the end of the semester.
Faculty may request that disciplinary action be taken against a student at the administrative level by
submitting such request to the Dean of Student Services.
Institutional Statement
Each student is responsible for being aware of the information contained in the TCC Catalog, TCC
Student Handbook, Student Code of Conduct Policy Handbook, and semester information listed in
