Instructor: David Yang (Science South 450, david.yang@csueastbay.edu)
Time: Mondays, Wednesdays 6:00-7:50 PM
Location: Science South 213 

Blackboard will be used for submission of assignments and posting of course material, while email to the class will go to your school email account.

Text:
Larman, Applying UML and Patterns, 3rd ed. ISBN 0131489062 is a quite good book that you should find useful for appreciating object-oriented problem solving. The material will cover a number of other sources as well.

Goals:
The overall goal is to further your experience and understanding of software engineering. In particular,

• using tools to accomplish different parts of software development -- version control, requirements, UML, testing
• more architectural patterns for higher-level design
• more design-level patterns

Calculation of your grade: 
Assignments 50%
Midterm 25%
The comprehensive final exam will count for 25%.

[grading note: Your exams must average (using the relative weights above) out to a C- or better in order to get at least a C- in the course.]

Final grades will be given according to the following scale:

93-100 A, 90-92 A-, 87-89 B+, 83-86 B, 80-82 B-, 77-79 C+, 73-76 C, 70-72 C-,67-69 D+, 60-66 D, 0-59 F 

Attendance:
Remember that standard policy dictates that students who do not attend can be removed in favor of students on the waiting list who do show up. Also, note that you need to be in class to do the in-class assignments and to take the exams.

Academic Honesty: This course will follow the University's standard policy on academic dishonesty. In particular, note that regardless of whether you copy work from another student or allow another student to copy your work on an exam, you are both equally guilty and equally penalized. Copying text/files off the internet without properly giving credit is also cheating. Any cheating on an exam results in an F for the course. Cheating twice also results in an automatic F. All instances of cheating will be reported to the Dean's office.

Remember that the University may inflict further penalties than listed here under the provisions of the published Academic Dishonesty Policy. 

Office Hours: My office is in room 450 of the South Science Building. My tentative schedule for office hours is: 

• MW 2-3:45PM

I will also be available at other times, including after class as needed. You can make an appointment, though stopping by to see if I'm around is fine. It is better to ask questions before the exams.
