The Java component of the course covers object-oriented design techniques and UML class diagrams, as well as elementary data structures such as lists, stacks and queues. The practical component includes use of inheritance,
polymorphism, interfaces, generics and GUI programming in Java.DP requirements: Minimum of 45% aggregate in practical work.
Assessment: Theory tests count 15%; practical tests and practical assignments count 25%; one 2-hour paper written in November counts 60%. Subminima: 45% for practicals and 45% on weighted average of theory tests and examination.
