Course outcome (Course Skill Set)

At the end of the course the student will be able to:

CO1To explain the features and object oriented concepts in JAVA programming

CO2To analyse working of bitwise operators in JAVA

CO3To develop simple programs based on polymorphism and inheritance

CO4To describe the concepts of importing packages and exception handling mechanism

Programming Assignments

1.Write a JAVA program that prints all real solutions to the quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0. Read in a, b, c and use the quadratic formula.

2.Write a JAVAprogram for multiplication of two arrays.

3.Demonstrate the following operations and sign extension with Java programs (i)<< (ii) >> (iii) >>>

4.Write aJAVA program to sort list of elements in ascending and descending order

5.Create a JAVA class called Student with the following details as variableswithin it.

USN

NAME

BRANCH

PHONE

PERCENTAGE

Write a JAVA program to create n Student objects and print the USN, Name, Branch, Phone, and percentage of these objects with suitable headings.

6.Write a JAVA program demonstrating Method overloading and Constructor overloading.

7.Design a super class called Staff with details as StaffId, Name, Phone, Salary. Extend this class by writing three subclasses namely Teaching (domain, publications), Technical (skills), andContract (period). Write a JAVA program to read and display at least 3 staff objects of all three categories.

8.Demonstrate dynamic dispatch using abstract class in JAVA.

9.Create two packages P1 and P2. In package P1, create class A, class B inherited from A, class C . In package P2, create class D inherited from class A in package P1 and class E. Demonstrate working of access modifiers (private, public, protected, default) in all these classesusing JAVA.

10.Write a JAVA program to read two integers a and b. Compute a/b and print, when b is not zero. Raise an exception when b is equal to zero. Also demonstrate working of ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException.

Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE)

• The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam (SEE) is 50%.
• The minimum passing mark for the CIE is 40% of the maximum marks (20 marks out of 50).
• The minimum passing mark for the SEE is 35% of the maximum marks (18 marks out of 50).
• A student shall be deemed to have satisfied the academic requirements and earned the credits allotted to each subject/ course if the student secures not less than 35% (18 Marks out of 50) in the semester-end examination(SEE), and a minimum of 40% (40 marks out of 100) in the sum total of the CIE (Continuous Internal Evaluation) and SEE (Semester End Examination) taken together.

Continuous Internal Evaluation(CIE):

Two Unit Tests each of 20 Marks (duration 01 hour)

• First test after the completion of 30-40 % of the syllabus
• Second test after completion of 80-90% of the syllabusOne Improvement test before the closing of the academic term may be conducted if necessary. However best two tests out of three shall be taken into consideration.

Two assignments each of 10 Marks

The teacher has to plan the assignments and get them completed by the students well before the closing of the term so that marks entry in the examination portal shall be done in time. Formative (Successive) Assessments include Assignments/Quizzes/Seminars/ Course projects/Field surveys/ Case studies/ Hands-on practice (experiments)/Group Discussions/ others. . The Teachers shall choose the types of assignments depending on the requirement of the course and plan to attain the Cos and POs. (to have a less stressed CIE, the portion ofthe syllabus should not be common /repeated for any of the methods of the CIE. Each method of CIE should have a different syllabus portion of the course). CIE methods /test question paper is designed to attain the different levels of Bloom’s taxonomy as per the outcome defined for the course.

The sum of two tests, two assignments, will be out of 60 marks and will be scaled down to 30 marks

CIE for the practical component of the Integrated Course

• On completion of every experiment/program in the laboratory, the students shall be evaluated and marks shall be awarded on the same day. The15 marksare for conducting the experiment and preparation of the laboratory record, the other 05 marks shall be for the test conducted atthe end of the semester.
• The CIE marks awarded in the case of the Practical component shall be based on the continuous evaluation of the laboratory report. Each experiment report can be evaluated for 10 marks. Marks of all experiments’ write-ups are addedand scaled down to 15 marks.
• The laboratory test (duration 02/03 hours)at the end of the 14th/15thweek of the semester /after completion of all the experiments (whichever is early) shall be conducted for 50 marks and scaled down to 05 marks.Scaled-down marks of write-up evaluations and tests added will be CIE marks for the laboratory component of IPCC for 20 marks.

Semester End Examination(SEE):

Theory SEE will be conducted by University as per the scheduled timetable, with common question papers forthe subject (duration 03 hours)

• The question paper shall be set for 100 marks. The medium of the question paper shall be English/Kannada). The duration of SEE is 03 hours.

The question paper will have 10 questions. Two questions per module. Each question is set for 20 marks. The students have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module. The student has to answer for 100 marks and marks scored out of 100 shall be proportionally reduced to 30 marks.

There will be 2 questions from each module. Each of the two questions under a module (with a maximum of 3 sub-questions), should have a mix of topics under that module.

Lab SEE will be conducted based on the Lab assignments with both internal and external examiners as per prevailing practice. The exam will be conducted for 50 marks and minimum passing is 20 marks. The marks obtained will be proportionally reduced to 20 marks (max) and will be summed with theory SEE to get the total SEE marks.

Passing in the subject: The student will pass the subject only if he obtained minimum passing marks both in theory SEE and Lab SEE. If a student fails in either theory/lab he has to clear the corresponding component only. Grading will be assigned by combining the performance in Lab and theory.
