Homework
1 hour per week. There will be homework given each week. It should take between 30-40 minutes on average. While homework is optional it is highly encouraged. I remind students to turn it in during the week before the next class lest they forget. I appreciate it when they work hard and ask questions when they are stuck on some part of the homework.Class Experience
US Grade 7 - 12
Beginner - Advanced Level
What to expect in this Java 1:1 class: In each session we go over a topic and then code some examples together. Learners can ask questions and discuss their code any time during the class. We go at a medium pace usually. Pace is varied based on learners ability, age and experience. At the end of the session the relevant slides and code are posted to the classroom, along with the weekly homework. Recordings for the classes are also available to learners if they'd like to revisit something. ----------------------------- Introductory Java: Topics covered --------------------------- * Hello World, Primitive data types: int, double and String * String operations, primitive type char, boolean, casting between double and int * Methods, arguments and return types, loops * Basic Algorithms: traverse single array, traverse two arrays * Classes and objects * Class Inheritance --------------------------- Intermediate Java - Topics covered: * Error checks, types of exceptions, exception handling, finally and final * Abstract classes and interfaces, use of super keyword * Java enums, constants, object equality * Access modifiers: public private protected * Medium level algorithms: reverse a string, nested loops, odd and even number sums, multi dimensional arrays * Memory usage of various data types, garbage collection, finalize method, complexity of algorithm (Big O) --------------------------- Advanced Java - we cover lots of Java util collections such as Lists, Sets, Maps, Trees and Stacks and also more advanced algorithms that use these. More details for Advanced Java coming soon ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
