Organisation and examination :
|
| Teaching in the second semester |
|
Course contents :
|
| The course introduces the object-oriented programming paradigm and its main concepts (objects, classes, methods, constructors, messages, instantiation). It then studies in detail the inheritance mechanism and its different applications. The course also covers some auxiliary problems such as object cloning, equivalence testing, and serialization. A brief introduction to object-oriented concurrent programming is also given.
The principles and mechanisms studied in the course are illustrated and applied in practice in the framework of the Java programming language. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| At the end of this course, students will be able to solve a programming problem by following the object-oriented approach, and to implement their solution in the Java programming language. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| A basic knowledge of algorithmics is needed. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
|
- Theoretical lessons.
- Exercise sessions aimed at applying the concepts and mechanisms introduced in the theoretical course to actual problems, introducing programming tools, and helping the students to succeed with their practical project.
- A practical programming project to be made individually by each student.
|
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
|
- The theoretical lessons are given by the professor.
- Exercise sessions and support for the practical project are given by the assistant.
|
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| A copy of the slides used during the theoretical lessons is available on the WWW page of the course. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| A written exam in June. A written exam in September.
The grade obtained for the programming project is taken into account, and represents one third of the final note. Projects that have failed in June have to be resubmitted in September. Projects that are sent after the deadline will not be corrected. The penalty for plagiarized projects is a global note of zero for the course. |
