Abstract

Emphasis is put on immediate feedback and on having a fun experience. Programming knowledge is not only useful to be able to program today’s devices such as computers and smartphones. It also opens the door to computational thinking, i.e. the application of computing techniques to every-day processes. What you will learn  Basic knowledge on algorithms and Java programming  Develop programs with conditionals and loops  Design and implement recursive algorithms  Understand basic mechanisms of the OOP paradigm  Use and interpret the API of some of the most common Java classes  Develop simple programs in Java
Learning Objectives

Learning Objectives

  • to introduce to powerful concepts such as functional abstraction, the object oriented programming (OOP) paradigm and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)
Expected Learning Outcomes

Expected Learning Outcomes

  • knows the basic definitions of the course
  • applies the acquired knowledge in practice
Course Contents

Course Contents

  • From the Calculator to the Computer
    The first section introduces basic programming concepts, such as values and expressions, as well as making decisions when implementing algorithms and developing programs.
  • State Transformation
    The second section introduces state transformation including representation of data and programs as well as conditional repetition.
  • Functional Abstraction
    The third section addresses the organization of code in a program through methods, which are invoked to carry out a task and return a result as answer. Recursion, as a powerful mechanism in the invocation of methods, is also covered this week.
  • Object Encapsulation
    The fourth section introduces the object oriented programming (OOP) paradigm, which enables the modeling of complex programs in Java through objects and classes. The concept of inheritance as the basis for reusing code and simplifying programs in Java is studied in this week.
  • Packaging
    The last section aims to study the reuse of code through third-party classes that are already developed and that we can incorporate to our programs to perform specific actions, and reduce the number of lines that we need to code.
Assessment Elements

Assessment Elements

  • non-blocking Тестирование
  • non-blocking Собеседование
Interim Assessment

Interim Assessment

  • Interim assessment (3 module)
    Результат прохождения курса, равный минимальному пороговому значению PASS (обычно 50%), установленному автором курса соответствует оценке в ведомости 4. При получении результата прохождения курса менее значения PASS, оценка в ведомости составляет O = 4 * результат / PASS При получении результата прохождения курса, превышающем значение PASS, оценка в ведомости вычисляется по формуле О = 4 + 6 * (результат - PASS)/(100 - PASS)
