  • mira_at_im.ns.ac.yu
  • Ioan Jurca
  • Politehnica University of Timisoara,
  • Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering,
    Timisoara

Evaluation of questionnaires on Java INTEREST
  • 6 groups expressed interest 2 Belgrades, Berlin,
    Novi Sad, Plovdiv, Timisoara
  • 4 claims that they are VERY (2 FAIR) interested
    in CREATION of teaching material
  • 4 claims that they are VERY (2 FAIR) interested
    in USING teaching material
  • Of 6 groups, 6 Java lecturers are now project
    participants (Belgrade-ETF, Tartalja included
    also)
  • Everywhere except in Berlin, Java is NOT the
    first programming language.

3
Evaluation of questionnaires on Java CURRICULUM
  • Taught in different semesters, last differently
  • Belgrade-MF 5-6th (36 lh),
  • Belgrade-ETF 4th (16 lh)
  • Berlin 1st, (60 lh 30 30)
  • Novi Sad 3-4th, (40 lh)
  • Plovdiv MSc studies (60 60 lh in
    two years)
  • Timisoara 4th (28lh)

4
Evaluation of questionnaires on Java EXAMES
  • Exams organized in different ways
  • Belgrade-MF seminar workwrittenoral
  • Belgrade-ETF writtenoral
  • Berlin practical assignments
  • paperwork
    assignments
  • Novi Sad practical assignments oral
  • Plovdiv practical assignments
  • Timisoara practical assignments written
    written

5
Evaluation of questionnaires on Java MATERIALS
  • Lecture relies
  • almost completely on existing literature in
    Belgrade-ETF
  • others are mostly original and partly rely on
    existing literature.
  • Teaching material is mostly in ownership of
    lecturers.
  • Electronic form .ppt, .doc, .tex, some have
    none (Plovdiv, Timisoara)

6
Evaluation of questionnaires on Java LITERATURE

  • M. Page-Jones Fundamentals of Object-Oriented
    Design in UML, Addison-Wesley, 2000

7
Evaluation of questionnaires on Java CONCLUSIONS
  • Differences (semester, duration, exams)
  • No joint course, but joint material (i.e., pool
    of slides, assignments, supporting examples,
    exercises, longer (seminar) assignments,
  • Requires methodological concepts
  • Part I imperative constructs
  • Part II OO constructs

8
Java Joint Course Topics Part I - Imperative
  • Introduction on programming languages (in case
    that Java is the first programming language)
  • The language overview (elements of Java)
  • Simple data types
  • (Expressions and) control structures
  • Structured data types array
  • Methods
  • Recursion
  • Complex examples with arrays (searching and
    sorting)

9
Java Joint Course Topics Part II - OO and
advanced
  • Introduction to OOP (OOP in general, place of
    Java, its development,...)
  • Basic notions of OOP
  • Classes and objects. Class methods and variables.
    Object creation.
  • Inheritance and polymorphism
  • Concatenated list structures
  • Trees
  • Packages
  • Interfaces
  • Abstract classes
  • Introduction to UML
  • Exceptions
  • GUI development (and event handling)
  • Class libraries, Java Collection Framework.
  • Reflection in Java
  • Threads
  • Basic notions of WWW
  • Applets
  • Remote Method Invocation

10
Java Joint Course Topics Part III - Environments
  • Usage of JDSE JDK 1.XX

11
Java Joint Course Topics Part IV Java
programming at large
  • Introducing SE principles in Java programming

12
Proposition for Joint Course - Material
Preparation
  • D. Toic Methods, Introduction to UML
  • I. Jurca Threads
  • S. Stoyanov RMI
  • K. Bothe Introducing SE principles...
  • N. Ibrajter Refelection in Java
  • . Komlenov gathering as much existing examples
    as possible (separate presentation)

13
Existing Examples - Division
  • Principal suggestion is to divide the examples
    into at least three groups
  • Supporting Java examples - extra examples,
    similar to those presented during the lecture,
    intended to encourage students' individual
    experimenting.
  • Short exercises - for instance, practical
    assignments, lab exercises, etc.
  • Longer examples - more complicated tasks, given
    as seminar assignments, with longer deadlines (up
    to several months).
  • Additional material.

14
Existing Examples List of assignments (as a
basis for a mark)
  • Subset of previous groups, or
  • Separate pool

15
Java JCM the site
  • perun.im.ns.ac.yu/java
  • In construction
  • Next, significantly updated version, after the
    workshop - please send topics to mira_at_im.ns.ac.yu

16
Java JCM - Conclusions
  • Good basis for more qualitative teaching
  • Good opportunity to establish compatible courses
    on different Universities
  • Better collaboration between lecturers and
    students
