Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The evaluation of the course consists of points for the semester project (presentation of a functional program in C# - 70%) and points for independent tasks (30%) assigned during the semester. The condition for getting the credit is obtaining at least 50% of the points from the semester project. Additional points can be awarded for an active approach during the course.


Attendance at lectures is recommended, attendance at the exercise is compulsory. Classes are held according to the weekly schedule. The material discussed in the exercises corresponds to the current topic in the lecture according to the syllabus. The substitution of missed exercises is entirely at the discretion of the instructor.

Aims

The aim of the course is to introduce students to programming techniques and concepts that they will use to create algorithms and their implementations in applications created using the C# programming language. Further the aim is to make the students familiar with the concepts of object oriented programming applied to the design and implementation of programs.


Students will gain advanced knowledge of C#, object-oriented programming and algorithmization of problems. Students are able to apply this knowledge in the development of programs to solve real-world tasks.
