Study Guide

Learning outcomes

Student is able to
- explain the key concepts of object oriented programming
- design and implement applications with object oriented language
- apply efficiently a modern software development environment
- design a maintainable software architecture
- design unit test

Implementation and methods of teaching

Weekly contact lessons, each week with new topic lectured and demonstrated. Home exercises for each week to be solved individually. Done and approved lesson and home exercises collect bonus points that are added on top of the exam points in course evaluation. To collect the points, the home tasks must be marked being solved prior the exercise session and the student must be able to present and explain the solution to the class.

Timing and attendance

Course start week 36. No compulsory lectures but to collect exercise points, student must have submitted the weekly exercise solutions to the VPL tool before the deadline (next lesson).

Learning material and recommended literature

Material distributed through Moodle or otherwise shown by teacher

Alternative completion methods

General exam with some programming language passed

Learning environment

Course has Moodle pages. All material can be found there.

Student time use and work load

Solving weekly exercises will require 5 -10 hours weekly so attending the lectures is not sufficient alone. Students should take this in account when making the schedule for the semester.
