Heilbronn: Fundamentals of Programming - Applied Education Technologies

Intended Learning Outcomes

After successful completion of the module, participants are acquainted with the object-oriented programming language Java and master programming in the small. They are able to realize programs on their own and to apply the fundamental concepts of Informatics as taught in module INHN0001, on a basic practical but scientific level. Accompanying the module INHN0001, assignments may exercise and apply for problem solving concepts, such as basic data structures, recursion, objects, classes and methods, lists, queues, and trees, advanced concepts of object-oriented programming, and concurrency.

The presentations will take place in the tutorial groups onsite. Further details about the project work will be announced later in December.

Retake

A retake opportunity will be offered for students who do not pass the course. The retake is entirely independent of the above course activities, i.e., no grades or bonuses can be transferred.
