LIST OF PROGRAMS / EXPERIMENTS / EXERCISES:

WEEK 1:
Use Eclipse or Net bean platform and acquaint yourself with the various menus.
Create a test project, add a test class, and run it. See how you can use auto
suggestions, auto fill. Try code
formatter and code refactoring like renaming variables, methods, and classes. Try
debug step by step with a small program of about 10 to 15 lines which contains at
least one if else condition and a for loop.

44
WEEK 2:
Create user-defined packages with multiple classes, Access packages using
CLASSPATH, Basic OOP program using classes, objects, constructors

WEEK 3:
Write a Java program to create an abstract class named Shape that contains two
integers and an empty method named print Area (). Provide three classes named
Rectangle, Triangle, and Circle such that each one of the classes extends the class
Shape. Each one of the classes contains only the method print Area () that prints the
area of the given shape.

WEEK 4:
a) Develop a java application to implement currency converter (Dollar to INR. EURO
to INR, Yen) using Interfaces.
b) Create a package named "[Link]" that contains a class named
"StringUtils" with a method named "reverseString" that takes a string as input and
returns the reverse of the input string. Write a test program to use this package.

WEEK 5:
Write a Java program to implement Autoboxing and Unboxing.

WEEK 6:
a) Write a Java program that creates a user interface to perform integer divisions.
The user enters two numbers Num1 and Num2. The division of Num1 and Num 2 is
displayed as the Result . If Num1 or Num2 were not an integer, the program would
throw a Number Format Exception. If Num2 were Zero, the program would throw
an Arithmetic Exception.
b) Write a Java program to throw an exception “Insufficient Funds” while withdrawing

WEEK 7:
Write a Java program that implements a multi-thread application that has three
threads. First thread generates a random integer every 1 second and if the value is
even, the second thread computes the square of the number and prints. If the value
is odd, the third thread will print the value of the cube of the number.

WEEK 8:
Write a Java program that correctly implements the producer- consumer problem
using the concept of inter thread communication.

WEEK 9:
Write a Java program to list all the files in a directory including the files present in all its
subdirectories.

WEEK 10:
Create a class called Employee with properties name(String), dateofbirth
([Link]), department(String), designation(String) and Salary(double). Create
respective getter and setter methods and constructors (no-argument constructor and
parameterized constructor) for the same. Create an object of the Employee class and
save this object in a file called “data” using serialization. Later using deserialization
read this object and prints the properties of this object.

45
WEEK 11:
Write a Java program that loads names and phone numbers from a text file where
the data is organized as one line per record and each field in a record are separated
by a tab (\t). It takes a name or phone number as input and prints the corresponding
other value from the hash table (hint: use hash tables).

WEEK 12:
Create a generic class called Box that can hold any type of object. Implement the
following methods: 1) void set(T obj): sets the object stored in the box 2) T get():
retrieves the object stored in the box 3) boolean isEmpty(): returns true if the box is
empty, false otherwise

WEEK 13:
Create a react application for the student management system having registration,
login, contact, about pages and implement routing to navigate through these pages.

WEEK 14:
Create a service in react that fetches the weather information from
[Link] and the display the current and historical weather information
using graphical representation using [Link]

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course offers an introduction to Gender Studies, an interdisciplinary field that asks
critical questions about the meanings of sex and gender in society. The primary goal
of this course is to familiarize students with key issues, questions, and debates in
Gender Studies, both historical and contemporary. It draws on multiple disciplines –
such as literature, history, economics, psychology, sociology, philosophy, political
science, anthropology, and media studies – to examine cultural assumptions about
sex, gender, and sexuality. This course integrates analysis of current events through
student presentations, aiming to increase awareness of contemporary and historical
experiences of women, and of the multiple ways that sex and gender interact with
race, class, caste, nationality, and other social identities. This course also seeks to build
an understanding and initiate and strengthen programs combating gender-based
violence and discrimination. The course also features several exercises and reflective
activities designed to examine the concepts of gender, gender-based violence,
sexuality, and rights. It will further explore the impact of gender-based violence on
education, health
and development

ACTIVITIES:
Classes will consist of a combination of activities: dialogue-based lectures, discussions,
collaborative learning activities, group work, and in-class assignments.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:
• To sensitize students on issues of gender in contemporary India
• To provide a critical perspective on the socialization of men and women
• To expose the students to debates on the politics and economics of work
• To enable students to reflect critically on gender violence
• To expose students to more egalitarian interactions between men and women

COURSE OUTCOMES: After completion of the course, the student should be able to
CO-1: Understand important issues related to gender in contemporary India
CO-2: Attain a finer grasp of how gender discrimination works in our society and how
to counter it
CO-3: Acquire insight into the gendered division of labour and its relation to politics
and economics
CO-4: Respond to put an end to gender violence
CO-5: Equipped to work with the other gender, treating them as equals
