	==~~Collaboration~~==		==Participation==

			The class participation grade is based on interactions during class and on Teams, such as questions asked and answered. You do not need to participate in every class to get full marks for this; the grade is based on the quality and quantity of your interactions.

			==Progress reports==

	~~Collaboration~~ on ~~all work is allowed except for the midterm and final~~. ~~Collaboration, however,~~ should ~~be clearly acknowledged~~. ~~See below for further details~~.		Throughout this course you will be working on an Android application as a term project. You should turn in progress reports at least every two weeks (and ideally every week) that describes your progress and the challenges you faced. Note that some of your work may be dead ends; you should still report these in your progress reports because it will show how you've been spending your time and how you've been learning Android and related technologies.

	The midterm and final exams will be open book, open note, open Internet, because they will not be actively proctored. Those outside resources will not be of much use, however, if you have not prepared by completing the tutorials and assignments. Your answers should be your own and you '''are not''' allowed to collaborate during the exams.		==Term Project==

	~~Random and selected exams~~ will be ~~chosen for '''10-15 minute interviews'''~~. You ~~may also volunteer to be interviewed. These interviews are~~ to ~~verify grading quality and~~ to ~~make sure that the work is~~ your ~~own. The Dean will be contacted if during~~ an ~~interview it becomes clear that~~ a ~~student is not the sole author of any exam~~.		Your grade in this course will be primarily based on developing an application (game or other) in Android. You'll need to propose what you plan to do, report on your progress, give an oral presentation on what you did, and document your work in a final report.

	~~For assignments, while~~ you may ~~get help from~~ others ~~and even collaboratively solve technical problems~~, ~~the code~~ and ~~answers submitted~~ should ~~all be your own work~~. ~~For example, you~~ may ~~not divide an assignment into parts, give a part to another student~~ or ~~anyone else to solve~~, ~~and then submit~~ that work ~~as your own~~. You ~~have to have participated in~~ the ~~creation~~ of ~~every part of your submitted work. An easy way to make sure this happens is never share files regarding coursework or copy and paste answers into email. Instead~~, ~~meet together (virtually) to work on an assignment and then separate to write up~~ your ~~solutions~~.		While you may collaborate with others on what you build, your submissions should be independent and should document what you did. You may discuss work done jointly or by others, but that work should be clearly delineated. You will be graded on the basis of what you accomplished, not what your collaborators did.

	~~Similarity between submitted assignments and projects that has not been appropriately documented~~ will be ~~treated as plagiarism -~~ the ~~same as copying on a midterm or a final - and will be submitted to~~ the ~~Dean for disciplinary action~~.		==Collaboration==

			Collaboration on all work is allowed. Collaboration, however, should be clearly acknowledged. You will be graded on the work you did, not the work of others you collaborate with.

	==Course Notes/Multimedia==		==Course Notes/Multimedia==

Video from lecture portion of class will be available via Brightspace (through the class Zoom portal) within a day after lectures are delivered. The class wiki will contain code and notes given in class.

	Do not rely upon the lectures and notes to cover all material related to this class. Mastery of the tutorial material is essential for doing well on the assignments and exams. Outside readings should be used as supplements to help you understand concepts covered in lecture and tutorial.

	==Required Textbooks==		==Required Textbooks==

	This course focuses much more on reading code rather than writing code. Thus, John Aycock's book, [http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~aycock/reading-and-modifying-code.pdf Reading and Modifying Code], is worth reading to better understand how reading code differs from writing code.

==Official Course Description==

Development of applications for mobile environments taking advantage of gesture-based input and using location and presence services. Topics include introduction to low-level network services and mobile platforms, description of architectural patterns, principles of mobile development and interaction styles for network service usage.

Includes: Experiential Learning Activity

Prerequisite(s): COMP 1601

==Learning Outcomes==

Through this course you will learn to create more advanced Android applications, employing gestures, concurrency, networking, and various system resources. We will also learn how Android applications are secured using digital signatures and permissions. By the end of this course you will have all the tools needed to create featureful Kotlin-based Android applications that are ready to be published in an app store.

==Grading==

The marking scheme for this course are:

* 5% for class participation & attendance
* 20% for tutorials
* 20% for assignments
* 25% for the Midterm, March 3rd during class
* 30% for the Final Exam (during the final exam period)

I also calculate grades using alternative marking schemes at the end of the semester, assigning the highest grade for each student from any of the marking schemes. Thus your final grade may be higher than might be suggested by strict following of the above scheme.

==Communication and Lectures==

[[Mobile Applications (Winter 2023)|The course website page listed above]] is the canonical source of information on this course. Please refer to it for updates. When significant changes are made to this document it will be either announced in lecture and/or posted in the course discussion forum.

Assignments should be submitted via [https://brightspace.carleton.ca Brightspace], and all your grades will appear there. Course discussions will be on [https://teams.microsoft.com Microsoft Teams]. You should have received a code that will let you join the right team via Brightspace when you log in using your MyCarletonOne credentials.

Class will take place via Zoom. Connection information will be posted to Brightspace and Teams. The class participation grade is based on interactions during class, such as questions asked and participation in online polls. You do not need to participate in every class to get full marks for this; the grade is based on the quality and quantity of your interactions.

==Course Software==

In this course we will be using Google's [https://developer.android.com/studio Android Studio] (version 2022.1.1) for development. Any platform that can support Android Studio will be sufficient for completing the work for this course.

While we will discuss how to deploy apps to devices, you do not need a device Android to complete this course (simulators will be sufficient).

==Undergraduate Academic Advisor==

The Undergraduate Advisor for the School of Computer Science is available in Room 5302C HP; or by email at scs.ug.advisor@cunet.carleton.ca. The undergraduate advisors can assist with information about prerequisites and preclusions, course substitutions/equivalencies, understanding your academic audit and the remaining requirements for graduation. The undergraduate advisors will also refer students to appropriate resources such as the Science Student Success Centre, Learning Support Services and Writing Tutorial Services.
