Overview
In this unit you will learn how the principles of Object-Oriented programming can help combat complexity when developing larger programs. The key concepts are abstraction and encapsulation. Abstraction is the processing of giving a name to something plus generalization – the process of ignoring differences and instead identifying common properties of a collection of objects. Encapsulation is the process of “putting things in a box” – selectively exposing some aspects of what’s in the box, but deliberately hiding much of what is in the box. In object-oriented programming languages classes and methods provide the principle mechanism for abstraction and encapsulation.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Explain the concepts of inheritence in the context of object-oriented programming.
- Apply object-oriented structures to organise programs.
- Write simple programs using object-oriented design programming patterns..
- Analyse program structures to find and mitigate common software vulnerabilities.
Content
- Abstraction, objects, classes, methods and constructors.
- Encapsulation, data hiding and importance of not violating abstraction.
- Interface and Inheritance
- Unit testing.
Learning Approaches
In this fully online unit you will have the opportunity to learn through active engagement with the interactive learning resources, peer learning, moderated and facilitated online discussions, learning events and self-directed learning materials.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
Feedback in this unit is provided in the following ways:
- You can ask the teaching staff for advice and assistance during lectures and practical sessions.
- You will receive formative peer and academic feedback on your practical exercises conducted in labs.
- You will receive written feedback on submitted assessment items.
- You can request private consultation with teaching staff.
Assessment
Overview
The assessment is designed to allow you to demonstrate your comprehension of the core object-oriented programming concepts covered in this unit.
Unit Grading Scheme
7- point scale
Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Timed Quiz and Practical Test
This assessment item will have a timed Quiz and a practical test to examine the contents of Modules 1 and 2.
Assessment: Programming Assignment
Use C# to implement an object-oriented solution to a real world problem and reflect on the effectiveness of the approach.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUT’s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT’s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
Resources
- There will be a prescribed text, TBC (possibly an eBook)
- Visual Studio Software (available free of charge to ICT students)
- Link to other online resources will also be provided.
Risk Assessment Statement
There are no unusual health or safety risks associated with this unit.
