About the course
The course is taught in the language of instruction and according to agreement.
The teaching is conducted in the form of lectures, exercises and laboratory work. The activities are scheduled to occur every week during the course.
Lectures deal with the theoretical parts of the subject and are held in a classroom or via a distance learning system. Pre-recorded lectures may also occur.
Exercises are teacher-supervised exercises. During a practice session, the instructor distributes programming problems to the class, which the participants are given 5-10 minutes to solve, after which the instructor shows how the problem can be solved and links to theory from the lectures.
Practice sessions are held in classrooms.
Laboratory work is carried out at a computer in a computer room. The students solve problems from the course literature.
Guest lectures may occur to demonstrate how software development is done in industry.
