CIS1867 - OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING
4 Credit Hours
Student Level:
This course is open to students on the college level in either the Freshman or Sophomore year.
Catalog Description:
CIS1867 - Object-Oriented Programming (4 hrs.)
[KRSN: CSC1030]
This course covers object-oriented programming principles, including classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, and abstraction. Students will design, implement, and test programs while applying structured problem-solving, exception handling, and collection classes.
Course Classification: Lecture
Prerequisites:
Student should have taken one of the following:
CIS1842 C# Programming
CIS1844 Java Programming
CIS1845 Python Programming
CIS1847 C Programming
CIS1841 C++ Programming
Co-requisites:
NONE
Controlling Purpose:
This course covers concepts of object-oriented programming. The main topics covered include data abstractions, classes and objects, methods, inheritance, polymorphism, dynamically-bound method calls, and data encapsulation. Students will also explore structured problem-solving techniques, exception handling, and the use of collection classes and iterators. The course will compare object-oriented programming with imperative programming paradigms to enhance understanding of different programming approaches.
Learner Outcomes:
Upon completion of the course, the student will:
Explain and apply core object-oriented programs principles, including subclasses, encapsulation, inheritance, and abstraction.
Develop robust programs by implementing error-handling techniques, including exception handling, in object-oriented programs.
Enumerate the differences between imperative and object-oriented programming paradigms.
Compose a class through design, implementation, and testing to meet behavioral requirements.
Demonstrate knowledge and use of object-oriented programming, collection classes, and iterators and apply them effectively in problem-solving.
Use structured problem-solving techniques to decompose complex problems and develop effective, efficient solutions through object-oriented programming principles.

- Demonstrate knowledge and use of collection classes, such as lists, sets, and maps.
- Implement iterators to navigate and manipulate collection-based data structures.
- Apply object-oriented principles to develop efficient solutions using collections and iterators.
UNIT 6: Structured Problem-Solving in Object-Oriented Programming
Outcomes: Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:
- Apply structured problem-solving techniques to decompose complex problems.
- Develop efficient and effective object-oriented solutions for real-world scenarios.

Materials/Equipment Required:
None
Attendance Policy:
Students should adhere to the attendance policy outlined by the instructor in the course syllabus.
Grading Policy:
The grading policy will be outlined by the instructor in the course syllabus.
Maximum class size:
Based on classroom occupancy
Course Time Frame:
The U.S. Department of Education, Higher Learning Commission and the Kansas Board of Regents define credit hour and have specific regulations that the college must follow when developing, teaching and assessing the educational aspects of the college. A credit hour is an amount of work represented in intended learning outcomes and verified by evidence of student achievement that is an institutionally-established equivalency that reasonably approximates not less than one hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction and a minimum of two hours of out-of-class student work for approximately fifteen weeks for one semester hour of credit or an equivalent amount of work over a different amount of time. The number of semester hours of credit allowed for each distance education or blended hybrid courses shall be assigned by the college based on the amount of time needed to achieve the same course outcomes in a purely face-to-face format.
