Content
In this unit students learn to construct computer programs using iterative development processes and object oriented analysis, design, and programming techniques. The unit assumes no prior knowledge and introduces students to fundamental programming principles, programming abstractions, control mechanisms, and how these operate within the computer. Students learn to build programs that use objects and classes, variables, methods, parameters, types, libraries, control flow, and associated statements. In addition to these fundamentals, students also learn to apply the object-oriented principles of abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism to analyse, design, and implement object oriented programs. This includes use of programming language libraries and features that support these principles.
| ULO | These are the Learning Outcomes (ULO) for this unit. At the completion of this unit, successful students can: | Deakin Graduate Learning Outcomes |

| ULO2 | Apply and explain the principles of object oriented programming including abstraction, encapsulation inheritance and polymorphism. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities |
| ULO3 | Implement, and test small object oriented programs that conform to planned system structures and requirements. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities |
| ULO4 | Design, communicate, and evaluate solution structures using appropriate diagrams and textual descriptions. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities |
| ULO5 | Justify meeting specified outcomes through providing relevant evidence and critiquing the quality of that evidence against given criteria. | GLO4: Critical thinking |
These Unit Learning Outcomes are applicable for all teaching periods throughout the year
