Summary
There will be two hours of lectures per week, and each student will have a weekly timetabled lab session. In addition, students will be expected to spend further time outside scheduled lab periods, and to read textbooks and review notes. Major topics include the concepts of class, object, method, subclass, inheritance and their use in programming.
Aims
The course aims to improve the programming skills of students and to develop fundamental skills in reading, writing, describing, structuring and reasoning about programs.
