Pick just one Textbook (they are the same)

The comprehensive version is the brief version with additional chapters. If you want a hard copy of a large Java textbook, you can buy a used version of the Comprehensive version.

For this class, the least expensive option is a 2 month person rental for $10.99/month, or a 180 day rental @ $45 PDF. You can also buy a used book, you don't need access codes.

You may purchase the 9th Edition - it's a lot less expensive.

Optional you may purchase Pearson Online content which includes the 10th edition of the textbook and video notes:

Optional if you want the most recent edition you may buy the more expensive 11th edition instead. The author has been very good at adding new Java features to his textbook. However, as a language matures, they tend to add new capacities/features which results in language bloat. Language bloat occurs when a language has features that overlap previous capabilities and are seldom used.

But once expiration date hits, quizzes/tests are gone forever. To view your quiz grades, click the Canvas's quiz grades tab. Assignment page and schedule list exact due dates.

Tips for Taking Quizzes or Tests

Before you take the quiz, notice the time limit and number of attempts allowed.
Make sure you first watch the relevant webcasts, take notes on viewgraphs and review notes.
Arrange your schedule so you will not be interrupted.
You may want to post a "Do Not Disturb" sign outside your door or computer area.
Make sure your Internet connection is reliable for a continued connection while taking the quiz.
Use a desktop or laptop instead of a phone or tablet to take the quiz.
Contact your instructor via the Canvas Inbox immediately if you experience any problems while taking a quiz

Late Work Policy

As stated above:

*Assignments grades and due dates(except checking for program comments) are displayed on submit. Last day of class is last day of class. You may not submit anything 9 hours after the last day of class. However, you may submit late assignment prior last day subject to the following penalties: 7 days late at 25% penalty, after 7 days penalty is 50%.
**Canvas quizzes are due same time as assignments, however you cannot usually take quizzes/tests up to the canvas expiration date, no penalty for taking quizzes/tests after due date. But once expiration date hits, quizzes/tests are gone forever. To view your quiz grades, click the Canvas's quiz grades tab. Assignment page and schedule list exact due dates.

In this hybrid course, you are recommended to submit the discussions and assignments by the Monday due date. Canvas quiz/tests/discussion normally expires 2 days later on Wednesday. Once a discussion closes, you won’t be able to post or respond so please set a reminder for those due dates. Check the calendar in Canvas for due dates and reminders. A handy tip is to set a calendar item or alarm on your phone to remind yourself of the Monday due dates. If you cannot complete an assignment on time due to extenuating circumstances, contact me asap.

Dropping Class and course Drop Policy

It is the student's responsibility to officially withdraw (drop) from the class through Admission and Records or MySite. However, Instructor may drop, "No-Show" students under any of the following conditions:

During the first week of this course, you are required to participate or you may be dropped from the course. You must at least login to canvas before the end of the first week. Reminders will be sent to school email accounts.
As part of the read me first canvas module you are required to introduce yourself as part of the welcome announcement discussion board.
If you have any challenges with the two above tasks during the first week, please notify me as soon as possible so we can get you started!
Students who have not completed at least 1 assignments two days before the drop without W grade.
By the last date to add with APC code, you must login to canvas, complete the orientation quiz and any corresponding assignment.
Students who have been emailed a drop warning and don't attempt the stated work.

It’s your responsibility to notify me if you have any challenges as soon as possible. It is also your responsibility to drop the course if you feel you can no longer

Consult current schedule for exact dates.

Regrading Policy

Sometimes you get a grade that you don't like, usually for one of the following reasons:

There was a clerical error (i.e., the points were added up wrong).
You think you did something right, and I think you did it wrong.

If you discover a clerical error, tell me immediately. The following Statute of Limitations will apply: You have one week from the day any graded assignment or test is returned to you to appeal the grade you received. After one week, I will assume that you believe the grade you got is the correct one. After one week, grades are unchangeable, fixed, and permanent

Special Needs

Students with disabilities are entitled to appropriate accommodations. This course meets the requirements set forth in the accessibility checklist and universal design grid provided by Special Services. The Web pages, video presentations, textbooks and class materials used in this course are accessible to students with disabilities. If you have specific disabilities requiring accommodations, let your instructor know the first 10 days of the semester so that your learning needs may be met and for referral to the Special Services office where documentation of your disability will be provided to receive services and accommodations. The Special Services Office is in Student Services Center, Room 113.

Any exceptions to the above statements will be considered individually & only if you approach me about the proposed exception at least a week in advance.

Distance Education Requirements

This is an online - distance educational course.

The weekly Canvas announcement will concisely summarize what you need to complete each week. The assignment page provides a detailed course guide. Work on all assignments one at a time, in the order they are listed. At the start of the course weekly welcome announcement will be sent to your Saddleback e-mail address. For a due date summary of the entire course consult the schedule.

Regular effective contact between the Professor and student is required for success. This class we will have weekly videos, web-casts and frequent emails (several per week), will post threaded discussion on important e-mails. In the past students seem to prefer the email communication over discussion board. The assignment page is very detailed on purpose it specifically address many of the questions raised in the past. When required actual phone calls will be made. and instructor does offer in-person help. In addition to in-person help we have 24/7 access to webcasting software. With webcasting software instructor/student can share screen and provides VOIP (Voice over IP - Internet) interactive connections.

Saddleback college also offers more individualized DE help at Canvas, login, or general Technical Support
The canvas site has two important links for help: student guides, and browser support (I don't recommended working on this class from a smartphone)

Netiquette

Netiquette is Internet manners, online etiquette, and digital etiquette all rolled into one word. Basically, netiquette is a set of rules for behaving properly online. Students are to comply with the following rules of netiquette:

Identify yourself:
- Begin messages with a salutation and end them with your name.
- Use a signature (a footer with your identifying information) at the end of a message
Include a subject line. If applicable; Give a descriptive phrase in the subject line of the message header that tells the topic of the message (not just "Hi, there!").
Avoid sarcasm. People who don't know you may misinterpret its meaning.
Respect others' opinions privacy. Do not quote or forward personal email without the original author's permission.
Acknowledge and return messages promptly.
Copy with caution. Don't copy everyone you know on each message.
No spam (aka junk mail). Don't contribute to worthless information on the Internet by sending or responding to mass postings of chain letters, rumors, etc.
Be concise. Keep messages concise—about one screen, as a rule of thumb.
Use appropriate language:
- Avoid coarse, rough, or rude language.
- Observe good grammar and spelling.
Use appropriate emoticons (emotion icons) to help convey meaning. Use "smiley's" or punctuation such as :-) to convey emotions. View the list of emoticons at Netlingo and SmugBook

Use appropriate intensifiers to help convey meaning.
- Avoid "flaming" (online "screaming") or sentences typed in all caps.
- Use asterisks surrounding words to indicate italics used for emphasis (*at last*).
- Use words in brackets, such as (grin), to show a state of mind.
- Use common acronyms,but know the context meaning discussed. (e.g., LOL usually means "laugh out loud", in gaming in means League of Legends, it also means Lot of Love)
- do not use ALL CAPS or multiple exclamation marks (!!!)
Be courteous to the other students in the class. You might find it helpful to read your posting out loud before you submit it: the "tone" is a very important part of electronic communication. When you read your message out loud does it sound the way you would speak to another student in the classroom?
Refrain from inappropriate language.
Never make derogatory comments toward another person in the class.
You can disagree with ideas, but do not make personal attacks.

Recording and Recording Devices

Other than Disabled Students Programs and Services (DSPS) directed auxiliary aids and academic accommodations, the use of any electronic listening or recording device in any classroom is prohibited without the explicit prior consent of the instructor (CA Ed Code Sec. 78907). It is in violation of South Orange County Community College District (SOCCCD) policies (BP 5401 & AR 5401) which address student conduct. It is also a crime to record any private communication, such as a classroom lecture, without the consent of all parties to the conversation (Cal. Penal Code § 632). Violation of such rules may result in disciplinary action
