  Marty are Larry are faculty members in the part-time program who teach sections of this course. Marty's Java Resources Page is an invaluable resource for Java programmers world-wide and students in 605.481.
• Web page for class text (2nd edition). Includes code archive.
• Source code for 1st edition of text

Course Times and Location:

• Lecture: Mondays and Wednesdays, 5:30 - 8:30pm, Room K-1.
• Note: No class will be held on July 3rd.
• Note: The last day of class will be July 15th.

Grading Policy

Grades will be based entirely on programming assignments. Students may use computers at home or work for the homework assignments, however many assignments must be uploaded to the University's UNIX system. Typically assignments will be given out weekly.

Academic Integrity

Work for this class is expected to be the result of individual effort; however, unless explicitly prohibited, it is perfectly acceptable to make use of published examples and source code from the literature if attribution is given. Furthermore, while it is permissible to discuss the general nature of lecture material and assignments with your peers, this does not extend to discussing or revealing solutions or source code. Students are expected to uphold the academic integrity of the university. Students using without reference, published material or copying the work (e.g., source code) of another individual will receive a zero on the assignment and the matter will be referred to the dean. Contact me if you have any questions, no matter how slight, about this policy, or if you have questions about a particular assignment.
