Assumptions

  • The course assumes that the learner is familiar with the Internet and Windows. The student should have a basic knowledge of Java Programming language and Object-Oriented Programming Concepts.
  • This course depends on the student's commitment to work in class and, if necessary, to work independently at his/her own time on a project assigned to them that will require access to the computer.

Learning Resources and Tools

The workload of each unit varies, and each unit consists of the following:

  • Lecture: The Lecture consists of notes that can be used by students as reference material.
  • Video: The Video consists of a presentation on the topics covered in the lecture note.
  • Hands-on Exercise: The hands-on exercises allow students to apply the concepts learned in each unit.
  • Quiz: The quiz allows the student to validate their learning further.
