CS364 - Programming Project
| TIMETABLE | TEACHING MATERIAL |
| Credits | 10 |
| Level | 3 |
| Semester | Term 3 |
| Availability | The class is available to participants taking BSc Digital and Technology Solutions. |
| Prerequisites | CS112 Programming 1 and CS275 Programming: Data Structures and Algorithms. Participants will need strong practical Java programming skills as well as a knowledge of data structures and algorithms. A knowledge of networking concepts would also be useful, e.g. through taking the compulsory class CS363 Principles of Networking. |
| Learning Activities Breakdown | The class will be taught via asynchronous online activities as well compulsory and optional online tutorials which take place each week. |
| Items of Assessment | 2 |
| Assessment | The class will be assessed via a Programming Project (90%) and a class test (10%). |
| Lecturer | Stuart Gale |
Aims and Objectives
The aim of the class is to further participants’ skills in object-oriented programming, and provide knowledge of key abstract data types along with their implementation and usage. Participants will develop their knowledge and skills by undertaking a programming project.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this class, participants will be able to:
- implement a range of fundamental abstract data types;
- implement a number of essential algorithms that are closely associated with these data types;
- use these algorithms and abstract data types in a practical application;
- use a number of fundamental computational problems within a practical project.
Syllabus
The class will apply the skills and knowledge gained through taking CS275 Programming: Data Structures and Algorithms, to a programming project. The first four weeks of the class will introduce participants to graphs and minimal spanning trees. During the next eight weeks participants will undertake a programming project. The project will include concepts that are relevant within the area of Computer Networking.
