Intended Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the module, participants understand the essential concepts of computer science on a basic, practical, but scientific level. Participants can solve manageable algorithmic problems and implement basic applications in Java or a similar object-oriented language on their own. They understand the underlying concepts and models and are therefore able to acquire skills in other object-oriented programming languages on their own.

Grading
The final grade for this course is determined according to the following grading scheme:
| Course activities | Grade Percentage |
|---|---|
| Intermediate exam 1 (supervised homework, Monday, 20.11.2023, 19:00 - 20:40) | 20% |
| Intermediate exam 2 (supervised homework, Monday, 11.12.2023, 19:00 - 20:40) | 20% |
| Project work: development of a game (January) | 20% |
| Final exam (Tuesday, 20.02.2024, 15:30 - 17:10) | 30% |
| Presentations (homework + tutor exercise) | 10% |
| Total | 100% |
| Bonus for selected lecture and homework exercises | up to 10% |
| Bonus for extra project work features | up to 10% |
Important: Intermediate exams (supervised homework) and the final exam are computer-based and take place onsite (i.e. under supervision) in a lecture hall in Garching (or Munich). Students bring their own notebook or, if that is not an option, take the exam in the computer lab. It is not possible to participate remotely. The presentations will take place in the tutorial groups onsite.
Retake
For students who do not pass the course, a retake opportunity will be offered. The retake is completely independent of the above course activities, i.e. no grades or bonuses can be transferred.
The retake will consist of two exams, each with a duration of 90 minutes plus 10 minutes for technical problems. Both exams will contribute 50% to the final grade. You have to participate in both exams to be able to pass the retake.
The dates of the retake exams are:
- Retake exam 1: Tuesday, 09.04.2024, 14:00 - 15:40
- Retake exam 2: Thursday, 11.04.2024, 16:30 - 18:10
Both retake exams are computer-based and will take place onsite (i.e. under supervision) in a lecture hall in Garching. Students bring their own notebook or, if that is not an option, take the exam in the computer lab. It is not possible to participate remotely. In TUMOnline, both retake exams appear as a single exam you have to register for. It will only show the date of the first retake exam, but you have to attend both exams to be graded.
