PURPOSE
That the student learns the essential concepts and structuring
mechanisms within object-oriented programming languages and
acquires skills in programming in a language within this paradigm.
REASON
Object-oriented programming is a dominant programming paradigm in
software development.
Learning objectives
Knowledge
The student must gain an understanding of theories and methods within the object-oriented programming paradigm, and here especially the following aspects:
- concepts and concept formation within object orientation
- classes and objects
- data access, properties and methods
- first-class methods
- collection classes
- specialization, expansion and inheritance
- polymorphism and dynamic bonding
- inheritance
- interfaces and abstract classes
- exception handling
- generic types and methods
- contracts and assertions
Skills
- be able to program in an object-oriented programming language so that the key features of those languages are used
- be able to explain and argue for contexts and details in an object-oriented program
- be able to prepare and carry out a systematic testing of an object-oriented program
Competences
- be able to design and document an object-oriented program so that it can run and is understandable, readable, and accessible to other programmers
Type of instruction
A mix of lectures, smaller exercises and a larger assignment.
Extent and expected workload
The student is expected to spend 27.5 hours per ECTS, which for this activity means 137.5 hours.
Exam
Exams
| Name of exam | Object-Oriented Programming |
| Type of exam | Oral exam
Oral test based on a larger assignment.
In the larger assignment, the students (individually or in small groups) must develop an object-oriented program, which should solve a pre-formulated and delimited problem. The course provider determines the maximum group size and defines a specific area within which the problem for the larger task must be found. The students have a certain freedom to influence the problem formulation. The program and its documentation must be submitted in print and in electronic form. |
