Lesson Plan: Object-Oriented Programming using Java

Course Code: Course 5

Semester: III

Course Objectives:

 To introduce the fundamental concepts of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and

design & implement object-oriented programming concepts in Java.

Course Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:

1. Understand the basic concepts of Object-Oriented Programming and Java Program

Constructs.
2. Implement classes and objects and analyze Inheritance and Dynamic Method Dispatch.
3. Demonstrate various classes in different packages and design their own packages.
4. Manage Exceptions and apply Threads.
5. Create GUI screens along with event handling.
