Study Guide

Learning outcomes

Student is able to
- design and implement simple computer programs
- create modular applications using suitable data structures and algorithms
- analyze program code written by others

Implementation and methods of teaching

Flipped classroom. Students get familiar with the course material i.e. videos and presentation material before possible contact steering sessions (provided weekly). Student may proceed on the course after the teacher or the automatic test process has approved the solutions to given test problems.

Timing and attendance

Learning environment

Material (videos, presentations, exercises) distributed through Moodle environment.

Student time use and work load

Approximately 100 - 120 hours in total i.e. about 8 - 10 hours weekly.

Contents

General software development tools and environments, basic structures of programming languages.

Additional information for students: previous knowledge etc.

No prerequisities. Student needs a computer with Visual Studio (2015 or later) programming environment, Community version is ok. Computer should be powerful enough to run the development environment, the bigger the screen, the better. To submit solutions to exercises, a working web connection is required.

Assessment criteria

Final exam. If student is active with exercises she gets some bonus points to be added on top of the exam points.
