Aims

To introduce data structures and advanced programming language features within the context of a high-level programming language (Java). To demonstrate principles, provide indicative examples, develop problem-solving abilities and provide students with experience and confidence in the use of advanced features to implement algorithms in a contemporary software setting.


Learning Outcomes

By the end of this module, students should be familiar with data structures and advanced programming concepts within Java; should be able to carry out the construction of software artefacts utilising these concepts; and should be capable of carrying out the development of complex elements, such as user interfaces, multiprocessing, and fault-tolerant components.

Practical assessment is employed for both formative assessment and summative assessment. Students will get short formative feedback on a weekly basis from the module demonstrators during tutorial / lab sessions. More detailed summative and formative feedback will be returned following assessment of the continuously assessed (CA) work. Resit exam will replace failed CA components, the Learning Outcomes will be covered in the resit exam.
