Course Outline in Computer IV
SY 2008-2009


I. COURSE TITLE: COMPUTER IV (JAVA PROGRAMMING AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PROJECT WITH MEDIA TOOLS)

II. COURSE DESCRIPTION:


Computer IV deals not only in developing the learners’ knowledge in programming skills in terms of doing programming exercises through object-oriented programming, but also allowing them to enhance their logical and analytical skills by immersing into the different facets of computing. Part of the course will introduce some media tools.

The subject course has three essential and complementary parts: Programming Fundamentals, Java Programming, and I.T. Project. The first part of the course will cover some programming fundamentals that will aide in learning to program using Java language. Using Java language will integrate programming concepts such as data types, operators, and loop structures. The last part of the course will be a sort of culminating their computer subjects from first year to fourth year through an I.T. project. The I.T. Project is a project oriented course that will hopefully instill team support and effort as the students will undergo the same procedures of an I.T. Team. The team will have an option to use web development or video production.

III. GENERAL OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the school year, students are expected to:
1. gain appreciation of how programming languages have developed and evolved over time,
2. understand the different models or paradigms of computing,
3. define common terms and basic concepts in object-oriented programming,
4. enhance programming skills by constructing java programs in solving simple or common programming problems,
5. learn the basic principles of I.T. project management,
6. simulate phases of I.T. project management through a small scale I.T. project, and
7. present IT project as a Team output.
