Module Aims
This module further develops the programming abilities of students by introducing them to object oriented programming (OOP) concepts such as classes, objects, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism.

Basic Guidelines
You have been employed as a junior developer and have been given your first assignment. You will be helping to develop a Java application for the Newcastle Philatelist Club (NPC) who require a system for their members to organise stamps that they either own or are interested in.
You have been tasked with the design and development of a prototype application that meets the requirements outlined below and displays data using in-memory objects (non-permanent data storage) or that utilises comma-separated values (CSV) files to store data (permanent storage).
You are required to build a prototype application that meets the requirements below and demonstrates your ability to use OOP techniques.
Programme Application Requirements
1. Application compiles and displays a GUI, with views for:
a. Main Menu (application homepage)
b. Manage Stamps (loads the different stamp categories. Available categories are: Definitive, Commemorative, Used and Mint.)
c. Stamp ownership (allow users to organize their stamps into available categories)
d. Stamps wishlist (allow users to manage a list of stamps they wish to own)
2. Application displays data relevant to the views
3. Application allows multiple users to log in and store personalised ownership lists and wishlists (but all users have access to the same list of Stamps and Stamp Categories)
4. Application users cannot add, edit, or delete any of the categories in 1b
5. Application allows users to:
a. Add a new data item on views 1c and 1d
b. Edit a data item on views 1c and 1d
c. Delete a data item on views 1c and 1d
Additional Notes
You should plan your classes before you begin working on your application. You will be shown how to use the Unified Modelling Language (UML) to create a class diagram that highlights relationships between classes. You should also employ OOP concepts where possible.
On completion of your application, you are asked to create a video screen-recording of yourself (no more than 20 minutes) using the application and talking through its functionality. Your video should demonstrate how you have fulfilled each of the requirements, starting from 1 to 5. You should upload this to YouTube as an unlisted video and provide a link for submission.

Learning and Teaching Strategies
Our philosophy of learning and teaching, our understanding of teaching for level 5 and NCG policies and strategies have all influenced our specific approach to learning and teaching for the level 5. Our teaching methods have been developed with explicit attention to debates pertaining to student learning styles. As such, our teaching methods provide a framework via which students develop the capacity to manage their own learning and evolve, over the course of their studies, into independent learners, acquiring the knowledge, understanding and skills that are essential to learning in Higher Education and to lifelong learning, post-graduation. Lectures, tutorials, and student-centred learning exercises will be employed. Practical sessions will support the learning of abstract concepts. Workshops and demonstrations will be organised in different topics to help the students master the necessary skills to develop their knowledge in these areas. Wherever possible, reference will be made to additional material and academic journals in the relevant field of computing. The VLE will be used to augment face to face teaching and learning with additional opportunities for learning and access to resources. There will be an introduction to the use of the library and a supportive tutorial framework to give individual support where required.

Contextualised Grading Criteria – Practical (70% Weighting)
| Criteria | Grade | Description |
|
Exceptional |
90% – 100% |
· Requirements 1 – 5 fully functional and exceptional extensions are there.
· Application uses dynamic data and has implemented permanent storage via CSV. · GUI is intuitive and exceptionally designed. · Code is clean and exceptionally organized. · Exceptional evidence of OOP application throughout the work (inheritance, encapsulation, abstraction and polymorphism). |
|
Outstanding |
80% – 89% |
· Requirements 1 – 5 fully functional.
· Application uses dynamic data and has implemented permanent storage via CSV. · GUI is intuitive and outstanding. · Code is clean and commented. · Outstanding evidence of OOP application throughout the work (inheritance, encapsulation, abstraction and polymorphism). |
|
Excellent |
70% – 79% |
· Requirements 1 – 5 fully functional.
· Application uses dynamic data and has implemented permanent storage via CSV. · GUI is intuitive and well designed. · Code is clean and well organized. · Clear evidence of OOP application throughout the work (inheritance, encapsulation, abstraction and polymorphism). |
|
Good |
60% – 69% |
· Requirements 1, 2, 4 and 5 fully functional.
· Application uses hard-coded, static data. · GUI is suitable for the requirements though with some issues. · Code is generally clean and well organized. · Generally, very good evidence of OOP application throughout the work (inheritance, encapsulation, abstraction and polymorphism) though with some minor areas requiring additional work. |
|
Average |
50% – 59% |
· Requirements 1, 2 and 5 fully functional, with partial completion of requirement 3 and/or 4.
· Application uses hard-coded, static data. · GUI is mostly well designed with some minor issues. · Code is generally well organized. · Sound evidence of OOP application throughout the work (inheritance, encapsulation, abstraction and polymorphism) though with some areas requiring additional work. |
| Satisfactory | 40% – 49% | · Requirements 1 and any other 2 attempted with some partial completion.
· Application uses hard-coded, static data. · GUI is adequately designed. |
| · Code is complete but may not be well organized.
· Some evidence of OOP application throughout the work (inheritance, encapsulation, abstraction and polymorphism) though with many areas requiring additional work. |

|
Unsatisfactory |
30% – 39% |
Knowledge and understanding at a limited level. There may be errors in either factual knowledge or understanding. Expression of ideas is not always clear, with ideas/arguments/discussions weakly structured. Practical application may be only partially complete or have glaring omissions or errors. To achieve a grade of 30% or more, a genuine attempt at the assessment criteria must be demonstrated. |
| Unsatisfactory | 0% – 29% | Knowledge and understanding at an extremely limited level. There may be significant errors and/or omissions both in factual knowledge and understanding. Practical application may be extremely limited or not present at all. |
