What will I learn on this module?
During this module you will further develop your problem solving, programming and program design skills, introduced in the module KV4000, Programming. You will learn the principles, knowledge and skills to utilise the object-oriented programming paradigm; using an appropriate programming language to design and write object-oriented programs to process text files and build graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
How will I learn on this module?
You will be introduced to programming concepts and will then complete programming exercises based on them in combined lecture/practical classes to help you understand the concepts and gain programming skills. A further practical class will also be provided to help you to further develop your problem solving programming skills. There will also be a surgery session each week for students requiring further tuition.
How will I be supported academically on this module?
The combined lecture/practical classes will allow you to practice concepts as they are being taught and the further practical session will help you to practice these in some depth. Study materials and solutions to exercises will be made available via, the eLP (electronic learning portal) blackboard. You will be given advice and feedback on your work and progress on practical exercises during the timetabled classes.
