  Assignments: There will be several assignments due at specific dates.
  
• 
  Tests: There will be two tests in the class.
  
• 
  Examinations: There will be a midterm exam but no final exam.
  
• 
  Project: Each student is expected to develop a Java application based on specifications to be provided by the instructor at the end of the semester.
  
•
