After successful completion of the course, students are able to

• describe important concepts of a modern programming language.
• implement small programms.
• apply practices and tools during the implementation of small programms.
• implement selected algorithms.

The following topics are covered in this course:

• Procedural programming concepts (variables, data types, operators, branches, loops, arrays, sub programs)
• Input/Output
• Recursion
• Basic algorithms (searching, sorting)
• Fundamental development methods (procedural abstraction, checking correctness, debugging) and programming tools inclusive a development environment.

Java is used as programming language.

• Lectures with discussions (live stream in TUWEL, recorded lectures in LectureTube)
• Exercise sheets as a preparation for labs
• Presentation und discussion of solved exercises during labs (online in ZOOM)
• Tests (alle online in ZOOM, open book)
• Placement test for competence level 2 (voluntary)
• Online tests (TUWEL) for consolidation of basic principles
• Programming test

Preliminary lectures: Monday, March 1, from 3:15 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Lectures

• On Monday, 03:00 p.m. - 05:00 p.m. and Thursday 03:00 p.m. - 05:00 p.m. Additional dates: March 3 (02:00 p.m. - 04:00 p.m.), March 10 (02:00 p.m. - 04:00 p.m.)
• Live stream in TUWEL
• Recorded and archived in TUWEL (1-2 days after the corresponding lecture).

Placement test:

• A voluntary test on March 5.
• An appropriate result (>= 80% of all points) allows the admission to a competence level 2 lab.

Distance Learning:

• As a start all lectures are offered in a distance learning format. Potential changes are evaluated during the semester.
• All labs are offered online via ZOOM sessions.
• All tests take place in ZOOM sessions (camera required).

Workload estimation (ECTS Breakdown): 137.5 hours = 5.5 ECTS

• lecture (VO) attendance (50 hours)
• laboratory (UE) attendance (14.5 hours)
• homework exercises (48 hours)
• laboratory and test preparation. tests (25 hours)

All informations, documents and exercises will be available on the TUWEL platform of the course.

The grading is based on the performance during the labs (ZOOM meetings):

• Competence level 1
• Participation in the first two labs
• Number of solved examples from 6 exercise sheets
• Presentation of selected exercises during labs
• 2 TUWEL tests (2 dates per test are offered and the better result is scored)
• 1 programming test (2 dates are offered and the better result is scored)
• Competence level 2
• Placement test
• Number of solved examples from 4 exercise sheets
• Presentation of selected exercises during labs
• 1 TUWEL test (2 dates are offered and the better result is scored)
• 1 programming test (2 dates are offered and the better result is scored)

For all tests applies:

• Mainly written, oral answers to programming test questions.
• In ZOOM meetings (stable internet connection and a camera required)
• TUWEL test (multiple choice test) or submission of an IntelliJ project in TUWEL
• All materials allowed

Course registration is mandatory to attend the class.
