Course abstract

The aim of the study course is to introduce students to modern programming technologies. In the practical part of the course, students acquire skills in using queries included in the programming language, saving object state information, using parallel control flows, working with tasks and asynchronous functions.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

As a result of the study course students:
• know about computer program creation methods and technologies (tests, exam);
• know how to code and debug programs, use good programming style, implement user interfaces, apply design schemes and diagrams, measure software performance (practical tasks, control tasks);
• able to independently code and debug programs for performing simple calculations and data processing tasks, implement user interfaces using database management systems, parallel programming principles, technologies for developing mobile and feature-rich Web applications (tests, exam).

Requirements for awarding credit points

All practical work and the exam task must be completed and defended. Only works with a score of 4 or more points are considered defended.

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

During the semester, the student must complete the practical work using the assignment descriptions and in consultation with the supervisor of the laboratory work and the lecturer.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

The exam grade is formed as an accumulative assessment from two parts - the assessment of practical work and tests (40%), the assessment of the exam task (60%).
