Course Calendar Description
A second course in programming [for BCS students], emphasizing problem solving and
computational thinking in an object-oriented language. Topics include abstraction, mutable
data structures, methods, inheritance, polymorphism, recursion, program efficiency, testing
and debugging.
Precludes additional credit for COMP 1006, SYSC 1101 (no longer offered), SYSC 2004.
Prerequisite(s): one of COMP 1405, COMP 1005, ECOR 1606, SYSC 1005, BIT 1400.
Learning Modality
This course is entirely online. Lectures will be a combination of live classes (held during the
scheduled class times) and pre-recorded classes. Live classes will be recorded and posted to
the course webpage within 24 hours. Pre-recorded lectures will be posted 24 hours before the
scheduled class time and class time will be spent in some combination of watching the
pre-recorded lecture, working through examples, live coding, class discussions and Q&A.
Note: Discord will be used for tutorials and office hours. Piazza will be used for our class forum.
Brightspace will be used to post course materials, submit assignments, write quizzes and the
final exam and store grades.
Communication
The majority of communication will be using Piazza. All questions about the course should be
posted there.
You should only email the instructor, a teaching assistant or the lab & course coordinator if the
contents of the email are personal. Do not send private direct messages to the course teaching
team on discord unless asked to do so. All emails must be sent from your university cmail
account. Any email should have "COMP1406" in the subject along with something related to
the content of the email.
Assessment
Assignments: 5 main assignments + 2 midterm assignments 52%
Tutorials: weekly 8%
Quizzes: two in-tutorial quizzes: Friday October 22 and Friday November 26 20%
Final Exam (Date TBA by university) 20%
Assignments
Assignments will mostly involve writing Java code but may also include other tasks.
The majority (if not all) of the coding marks will be based on the co
ectness of your code. All
submitted code must compile and run in order to receive any co
ectness grades (for that
question). Code that
eaks any marking programs will receive zero co
ectness marks.
All assignments are due on a Friday at 11:59pm. However, you can submit up to 48-hours late
without penalty. Note that there will be no office hours or available help during this 48 hou
time though.
You may speak with TA’s or the instructor if you need help, and are encouraged to discuss
things with other classmates. But, you must write your own responses and code. Do not post
or share solutions or partial solutions with anyone. A
eakdown of each assignment (due date)
will be given when classes start. Midterm assignments will be due when your midterm starts.
More details of the midterm assignments will be given in class.
Tutorials
Tutorials will be held online. You can work alone or choose to work with others collaboratively.
Tutorial grades will be based on attendance, participation and making progress on the tutorial
problems. Quizzes will also be written during tutorial times (we will not have a tutorial on
those days).
Quizzes
Quizzes will be written, online, during the regular scheduled tutorial times.
Appeals
You have 1 week (from when grades are posted) to verify the co
ectness of your grades. You
must email the TA that graded your assignment/quiz within 1 week of the grades being posted
to seek a co
ection. No appeals will be accepted after this 1 week period.
Final Exam Scheduling
The examination period is December XXXXXXXXXXThe time for our exam will be announced by the
University by October 8th. Be sure that you are not in transit during this period of time. Travel
plans are not an excuse to miss the final exam.
Attendance
Attendance is optional for classes. Attendance is mandatory for tutorials.
Note that class and tutorial times will be opportunities to ask the instructo
TAs questions and
get real-time feedback. Some material may be presented only in class. A video recording of
class times will be posted after the class.
Workload
The expected workload is high. In typical offerings of this course, it is expected that students in
this course will spend an average of 10 hours or more each week for this course.
Textbook
Content for this course will come from posted course slides/notes. We will also be using D
Lanthier's COMP1406 Notes http:
people.scs.carleton.ca/%7Elanthie
teaching/COMP1406/notes.html
Additional notes/videos may be posted to Brightspace. Recordings from lecture time will be posted to
Brightspace (ba
ing any technical issues).

Undergraduate Academic Adviso
The Undergraduate Advisor for the School of Computer Science is available by email
( XXXXXXXXXX).
The undergraduate advisor can assist with information about prerequisites and preclusions,
course substitutions/equivalencies, understanding your academic audit and the remaining
equirements for graduation. The undergraduate advisor will also refer students to appropriate
esources such as the Science Student Success Centre, Learning Support Services and the
Writing Tutorial Services.
University Policies
Student Academic Integrity Policy
Every student should be familiar with the Carleton University student academic integrity
policy. A student found in violation of academic integrity standards may be awarded penalties
which range from a reprimand to receiving a grade of F in the course or even being expelled
from the program or University. Some examples of offences are: plagiarism and unauthorized
co-operation or collaboration. Information on this policy may be found in the Undergraduate
Calendar.
Plagiarism/Unauthorized Co-operation or Collaboration
As defined by the University Senate, "plagiarism is presenting, whether intentional or not, the
ideas, expression of ideas or work of others as one's own". Such reported offences will be
eviewed by the office of the Dean of Science.
Senate policy states that "to ensure fairness and equity in assessment of term work, students
shall not co-operate or collaborate in the completion of an academic assignment, in whole o
in part, when the instructor has indicated that the assignment is to be completed on an
individual basis".
