Learning materials
Details of learning materials that support your success in this subject can be found in the
Subject Site.
Learning, teaching and support strategies
How to contact your Lecturer
Email is the best way to contact me. Please send a brief message regarding the issue and
include the subject name and code in your email –it really helps to know which class you
belong to, before I respond to your query as I may need to teach multiple subjects at a time. If
you prefer to phone me that is fine, but please leave a message if I am not there at the time – I
will give you a call back as soon as I can.
How you are expected to engage with the subject
All of your subject materials are available on the Interact2 site under the Topics link in the left
hand side menu. I suggest that for each topic you read the learning objectives carefully, read
the relevant sections, watch youtube (if available), read lecture slide, and have a quick skim of
the sections in the text book. Once you have got a feel for what the topic is about try, make a
good set of notes under each of the topic, complete the exercises in that topic. You can do this
by watching the video (available in the topics section) and consulting the text again in a more
considered way. These exercises have been designed to give you a focus in the topic, so it
really helps to prepare solution of them. Once you feel ready you can also test yourself by

taking the online multiple choice question (MCQ) in the topic (provided by book or uploaded
in the interact site)– there are no marks recorded and you can do each MCQ as many times as
you like. You may see MCQ from the previous version of textbook using this
url:https://liveexample-ppe.pearsoncmg.com/selftest/
selftest11e?chapter=6&username=liang11e (https://liveexample-ppe.pearsoncmg.com/
selftest/selftest11e?chapter=6&username=liang11e) (http://tiger.armstrong.edu/selftest/
selftest10e?chapter=6&username=liang10e). You may need to change chapter number (in the
given example, it show chapter=6) to practice other chapter MCQs.
In this subject there are also lots of opportunities for you to engage with me, with your peers
(i.e. class mates) and with the subject. I will be holding face-to-face class in each teaching
week throughout the session where we can discuss content issues and assessment items. The
details of times and dates will be available in the timetable and may be posted on the
Interact2 site. In addition, I will regularly post in the Discussion Board either by topic or
specific to subject content. As part of your learning experience in this subject you are free to
interact with me and other students through Discussion Board. I will post exercises (i.e.
tutorials) that you will need to complete on a weekly basis. In the following week, I will then
post the solution of the exercise so that you can learn how the solution is achieved. From time
to time, I will cover the solution of the exercise during the online meeting.
It is helpful to have a small task to complete early in the session after installing relevant
software, so that you have a focus in the subject from the very first day, and so I have set an
assignment 1 within first few weeks, as part of your assessment. If you don’t attempt the
assessment, I may contact you by phone or email to have a chat about study and if there are
any issue that I can help with.

Task 2 Validating Credit Cards
value: 10 marks
Problem Description:
Credit card numbers follow certain patterns. A credit card number must have between 13 and
16 digits. It must start with:
4 for Visa cards
5 for Master cards
37 for American Express cards
6 for Discover cards
In 1954, Hans Luhn of IBM proposed an algorithm for validating credit card numbers. The
algorithm is useful to determine if a card number is entered correctly or if a credit card is
scanned correctly by a scanner. Almost all credit card numbers are generated following this
validity check, commonly known as the Luhn check or the Mod 10 check, which can be
described as follows (for illustration, consider the card number 4388576018402626):
1. Double every second digit from right to left. If doubling of a digit results in a two-digit
number, add up the two digits to get a single-digit number.
2 * 2 = 4
2 * 2 = 4
4 * 2 = 8

Page 14 of 28
1 * 2 = 2
6 * 2 = 12 (1 + 2 = 3)
5 * 2 = 10 (1 + 0 = 1)
8 * 2 = 16 (1 + 6 = 7)
4 * 2 = 8
2. Now add all single-digit numbers from Step 1.
4 + 4 + 8 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 7 + 8 = 37
3. Add all digits in the odd places from right to left in the card number.
6 + 6 + 0 + 8 + 0 + 7 + 8 + 3 = 38
4. Sum the results from Step 2 and Step 3.
37 + 38 = 75
5. If the result from Step 4 is divisible by 10, the card number is valid; otherwise, it is invalid.
For example, the number 4388576018402626 is invalid, but the number 4388576018410707 is
valid.
Write a program that prompts the user to enter a credit card number as a long integer. Display
whether the number is valid or invalid.
Here are sample runs of the program:
Sample 1:
Enter a credit card number as a long integer: 424634568**49834
424634568**49834 is invalid
Sample 2:
Enter a credit card number as a long integer: 4388576018410707
4388576018410707 is valid
Analysis & Design: Describe the problem including input and output in your own words and
the major steps for solving the problem.
Task 3 University Subject
Value: 12 marks
For this task you will create a Subject class, whose instances will represent the subjects for
study at a university. A subject will have a name, just a String, and a subject code, which is a
six-character String. The first three characters of a subject code are alphabetic and the last
three are numeric. The first three characters define the subject's discipline area. A subject
code must be unique but do not need to check subject name for uniqueness.
You will also write a TestSubject class to test the use of your Subject class. In particular this will
maintain an array of subjects. In order to manage the uniqueness of the subject codes, your
program will need to display information about existing subject codes as well as checking that
any new subject code supplied by the user is not the same as any existing subject code.

The following state and functionality should be provided for the Subject class:
• Two fields will hold the subject’s name (e.g. Programming in java 1) and the six character subject code (e.g. ITC228).
• A constructor will allow a name and a new, validated subject code to be provided
when a new subject is created.
• Getters will provide access to the attributes.
• An accessor method called codeMatches will return a boolean value indicating if the
subject's code matches the string argument provided. "Matches" is used here in the
same sense as for the matches method of the String class.
• A toString method will return a string containing the subject code and subject name.
To assist with managing subject codes and their uniqueness you will provide the Subject class
with some class methods as follows (you may add more method9s) if you need):
• An isValidCode method will accept a string that is a possible new subject code, and
return a boolean indicating whether it satisfies the structural requirements for a
subject code (i.e. first three characters are letters and last three characters are digits).
• A codeExists method will accept an array of Subject objects and a possible new subject
code. It will return a boolean indicating whether that code has already been allocated
to one of the subjects in the array.
Your TestSubject program will perform the following sequence of actions, using good design
techniques such as in the appropriate use of methods:
• An initial array of Subject objects will be created from any data in a file that was
previously saved by the program (not using programming in java, just open a text file
and write subject name and code and then save the file). You need to read those data
from the file and process other requirements (using java programming)
• The user interaction will then proceed to allow the user to add one or more new
subjects to the array. If the user wishes to add new subjects, the existing subjects
should be displayed. Each subject code entered by the user should be checked against
the existing subject codes. The user can enter any new subject, but only non-existing
subject codes and their names should be added in the subject list, otherwise, give
opportunity to enter new code if the entered subject code already exists in the list. The
user should be given the choice of repeating the processing for more subjects.
• When the user has finished adding subjects, and only if subjects have indeed been
added, the program will overwrite the data file with the updated data if anyone open
the file using file explorer, he/she can see all subjects including the newly added
subjects.
You need to submit a single zip file containing:
1. All java and class files
2. A pdf file, analysis & design descriptions, a snapshot of the program output, and UML
design (where required, see marking guide)

POSTAL ASSESSMENT - SUBMISSION PROCESS
Under normal circumstances postal submissions will not be accepted for any of the
assessments required.
HAND DELIVERED ASSESSMENT - SUBMISSION PROCESS
Under normal circumstances hand delivered submissions will not be accepted for any of the
assessments required.
ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT - SUBMISSION PROCESS
Under normal circumstances alternative submissions will not be accepted for any of the
assessments required.
Extensions
Assessments should be received by the University no later than the due date. You are
requested to do all in your power to meet assessment deadlines.
If you experience misadventure or extenuating circumstances of a minor nature and need a
short extension you should contact your Subject Coordinator.
If you experience misadventure or extenuating circumstances and require a longer extension
you need to apply for Special Consideration (https://www.csu.edu.au/current-students/
studying/support/special-consideration).
Late assessments, without having an extension granted, may be returned with no marks
awarded.
How to apply for special consideration
Academic regulations provide for special consideration to be given if you suffer misadventure
or extenuating circumstances during the session (including the examination period) which
prevents you from meeting acceptable standards or deadlines. In these circumstances you
need to apply for Special Consideration. (https://www.csu.edu.au/current-students/studying/
support/special-consideration)
Penalties for late submission
The penalty for late submission of an assessment task without a pre-approved extension will
be:
10% deduction per day, including weekends, of the maximum marks allocated for the
assessment task, i.e. 1 day late 10% deduction, or 2 days late 20% deduction.
An example of the calculation would be:

Charles Sturt University - TEQSA Provider Identification: PRV12018 (Australian University). CRICOS Provider: 00005F
Page 26 of 28
Maximum marks allocated = 20
Penalty for one day late = 2 marks (so, a score of 18/20 becomes 16/20 and a score of 12/20
becomes 10/20).
If an assignment is due on a Friday but is not submitted until the following Tuesday, then the
penalty will be four days (40% deduction or 8 marks in the example above).
Submissions more than 10 days late will be acknowledged as received but will not be marked.
Resubmission
Under normal circumstances resubmission of assessment items will not be accepted for any of
the assessments required in this subject.
Feedback processes
The students will get feedback in terms of numerical marks. They also get feedback
individually against a marking guide for task of the assignments. General feedback will also be
provided.
Assessment return
You should normally expect your marked assessment to be returned to you within 15 business
days of the due date, if your assessment was submitted on time. If you submitted your
assessment on time but did not receive it back by the return date, you should contact your
Subject Coordinator in the first instance.
Student Feedback & Learning Analytics
Evaluation of subjects
Charles Sturt University values constructive feedback and relies on high response rates to
Subject Experience Surveys (SuES) to enhance teaching. Responses are fed back anonymously
to Subject Coordinators and Heads of Schools to form the basis for subject enhancement and
recognition of excellence in teaching. Schools report on their evaluation data; highlighting
good practice and documenting how problems have been addressed. You can view a summary
of survey results via the Student Portal SuES Results (https://www.csu.edu.au/current students/studying/subject-enrolment/subject-experience-survey) page.
We strongly encourage you to complete your online Subject Experience Surveys. You will be
provided with links to your surveys via email when they open three [3] weeks before the end of
session.
