Summary: This module serves as the Preface to group of modules titled OOP Self-Assessment

Welcome

Welcome to my group of modules titled OOP Self-Assessment .

This is a self-assessment test designed to help you determine how much you know about object-oriented programming (OOP) using Java.

In addition to being a self-assessment test, it is also a major learning tool. Each module consists of about ten to twenty questions with answers and explanations on two or three specific topics. In many cases, the explanations are extensive. You may find those explanations to be very educational in your journey towards understanding OOP using Java.

To give you some idea of the scope of this self-assessment test, when you can successfully answer most of the questions in the first fifteen modules, your level of knowledge will be roughly equivalent to that of a student who has successfully completed an AP Computer Science course in a U.S. high school. This is based on my interpretation of the College Board's Computer Science A Course Description .

Lenses

A lens is a custom view of the content in the repository. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see content through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
