Instructions for students using the textbook, Objects First with Java

Before you start using the multimedia, if the TA tells you to take the "pre-
test", you should take it first, by pointing a web browser at
http://lens.eecs.lehigh.edu/CSc10JavaQuizzes.html. When the browser brings
up a page with three choices, select Pre-test (the first option), then
press the button "I'm ready for the exam." On the next screen, using the
pull-down list next to Student, select your Lehigh login name, then enter
the same 9-digit student ID (social security) number as your ID number.
Then press the button requesting the exam. There are 20 questions. We
don't necessarily expect you to know that much yet, just do your best.
When you are done, press the Submit button.

Before you start, you will install some Java programs. Start Microsoft
Internet Explorer and enter http://cimel.cse.lehigh.edu/ucsetup.exe. When
you see "You have chosen to download a file"-select "Run this program from
this location" and OK, then run the install program.

You will be studying chapter 1 from this book, consisting of pages 3-16.
As you read, the textbook will ask you to do things, in the BlueJ
programming environment. In this handout, we'll list the activities you
should do in lab today.

When you get to page 4, the textbook asks you to start BlueJ. Then, use
your mouse to press on the Start button, then select Run. In the Run
dialog box, enter BlueJ. After a few seconds BlueJ should start up.
Select Project (in the upper left corner), then Open Project, then browse
into folder H:\ucomp\chap3 and select shapes. You should then see a
project that looks something like Figure 1.1 in the textbook.

Follow the instructions on the bottom of page 4, to create a Circle.
On page 5, do exercise 1-1.
On page 6, do exercise 1-2 and 1-3.
On page 7, do exercises 1-4 and 1-6.
On page 8, do exercise 1-8.
On page 10, do exercise 1-10, the picture program. (It's in
C:\ucomp\chap3\picture.)
On pages 11-12, do exercises 1-12, 1-13 and 1-14. For 1-14, also add a
second window to the house in the picture.
Note: for exercises 1-13 and 1-14 above and 1-15 below, use // to indicate
changes you made to the Picture program, for example,
//Changed for exercise 1-13
On page 12, do exercise 1-15-yes, it's a challenge exercise, so just do you
best.

Add a comment at the top of the Picture program with your name, user id,
date and how many minutes you think it took you to complete the chapter and
Picture program, for example:
//John Doe jjd0 9/9/02 chapter took 70 minutes
When you are done, upload C:\ucomp\chap3\Picture\Picture.java to
Blackboard.

When you've handed in your program, go to
http://lens.eecs.lehigh.edu/CSc10JavaQuizzes.html and take post-test 1.
This time the quiz will count in your lab grade. If you do not have time
to finish the Picture program and post-test in lab, you may do so by
midnight tonight. This is a lab assignment, so it's OK to hand in
incomplete work; just do your best. This weekend you will receive
instructions about how to do your homework assignment, using the
multimedia, due next Tuesday, 9/17/02. You will also receive instructions
about completing three web-based surveys.
