Learning outcomes

Student is able to
- apply a modern software development environment (SDE)
- apply the basic structures of programming
- implement an interactive and modular application

Implementation and methods of teaching

Flipped classroom. Students get familiar with the course material i.e. videos and presentation material before the contact lessons. On contact lessons the students will concentrate on solving programming tasks with the help of teacher and other students. 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

Course kick off on week 2 (8.1. - 12.1.2024). Recommended that all students attend this kick off session. Also recommended that all students participate in supervised lessons throughout the course but, if student is able to solve the given programming problems without help and ahead of given schedule, the lessons are not compulsory. Student may enroll on the course exam when he/she thinks being ready for it and the teacher approves it. Course exam in the end of the course.

Learning material and recommended literature

Material delivered in course Moodle

Alternative completion methods
